User blog comment:Canvasofgrey/A New View on Supports v.1.1/@comment-4605706-20120420142428

I completely aggree with everything in this blog. I only play support because i find the job more fun and less boring. Being a support for me has always been my role in games (level 83 Disc priest - WoW) and i beleive people overlook alot of potential supports.

A few good examples of off-supports could be Singed or Volibear. Singed and Volibear both have a fling, which is great for placement with an AD carry at bottom. Singed has a slow and volibear has a fear on minions, making your AD immune for unit collision when chasing an enemy. Both of these characters can also get there full mid-late game builds off of mainly assists and with very little CS. Gold + items and a runepage can help with this. Singed and Volibear arn't commenly picked; but i beleive they would be a great eddition to supports. At the end of the day; anyone with a ally-shield, slow, pull or just alot of hard CC can be played as support and still be built into late game as a carry without kills or CS, people are just so stuck on the old meta that they don't realize champions like Ahri, Volibear, Singed, Malzahar, and even Veigar can be good supports if played right.
