It's not that support Volibear is bad by itself. After all, he still has high damage, and being tossed back is very dangerous. The reason why Volibear is ineffective as a support is because he can be easily countered when going support and he is outclassed. Morgana can Blackshield the ADC to prevent him from being grabbed. Lulu can Glitterlance Volibear to negate the speed boost on his Rolling Thunder. Thresh also counters his Rolling Thunder with Flay. Karma can also counter with Inner Flame. Hell, even Gragas can use his Barrel Roll to slow Volibear and even protect his ADC from being tossed by using Body Slam on Volibear.

The only situation where Volibear could be effective is against very passive supports such as Sona and Soraka, as they can't disengage from Volibear at all.

If Volibear was a bad support, he would be innefective at doing his job. The real problem is that many other champion can do his job better.
