If you think about it, ranged poke mages in the support position have been fairly absent throughout most of Season 9. Hard Engage melee & short-ranged supports who can make picks & roam have been the standard. Even though there have been nerfs to Nautilus, Blitzcrank, Rakan, & Pyke they still crowd out other viable non-enchanter supports like Zyra, Lux, Brand, Vel'Koz & Xerath.

You could make the argument that it's an issue with the current state of the bot lane meta in preseason 10, but I would like to see more diversity besides Thresh, Leona, Nautilus, Blitz, Rakan, etc.
