Any champion with a lockup or shield (Or both, like Orianna) can support. Swain offers a lot with his kit to an AD carry.

He can lock you in place for 2 seconds.

He can slow you, for as long as you're in the tether of Decrepify.

He can amplify his own damage from Torment, making flashignite support a good option, with your AD carry taking heal.

Lastly, he can stay in fights for a while with his heal. (You'll want to build aura items like Abyssal, Zeke's herald, Frozen Heart, Randuins, Shurelya's).

He would be an amazing support, if his mana costs weren't through the roof.
