I like the idea of Zyra a lot to replace Nidalee, although they might be interchangeable just for the sustain and AS steroid versus the extreme disengage, whichever is needed more for the specific game. Nidalee would give the carry better damage output while Zyra would peel infinitely better. I definitely considered Nunu, just because he'd be able to take the wight/golems really easily with his consume plus the smite he would obviously take, and his blood boil is renowned for being amazing on late game carries. The top 3 picks for the tankier support in my opinion would be Nunu, for the little bit of extra gold and exp from small camps with his consume, and his W late game, and Thresh/Leona, because both get relatively tanky for free, and offer a massive amount of CC.
