There's also the engage support. They will often wait for an oportunnity to jump at the enemy and initiate a fight with an advantage. They also have lots of CC to keep enemies from escaping. Thresh, Leona and Blitz are examples of such. I would mention scout type support also. Those supports that walk with the carry all the time protecting them from enemy engage and tanking for the team as well. Taric, Alistar and Leona are examples of this type.
