Very valid point. Some people have high ratios but aren't really supports, but can be used as ones, such as Lux.

Then you take Karma, who is made for support, but can mid well, too. Problem is that she wants to be both lanes. Lux is 80% mid, 20% support. Karma is 50% mid, 50% support. This means that she can go mid and do well, but she could do a better job supporting. But while supporting, she won't be able to get the AP she wants, and could do more damage mid.

I'd suggest either lower her ratios and raise her base states. Or add a passive that helps a support. Maybe something like Karma get's 10% of nearby champion's AP.

Also, all of this on top of this rework concept. It's pretty interesting, but the ult is too long. It need to be convenient, not like if you switch to one stance you didn't mean to, you have to sit there and wait till you can attack.
