I saw some discussion on Surr@20 about how bad she is. Someone enlighten me, because I'm not really seeing how she's so bad.

She's the only conventional support besides Alistar who has an AoE stun on a basic ability. It's not a very large AoE but it's still enough to snag two or even three people in a teamfight and the range on it is respectable. You say it's got a clear indicator, but I don't see people complaining how terrible Cho'Gath's Rupture is despite having nearly twice the delay (including cast times).And her ult is insane for teamfights. Even though it's... 'slow', so to speak (which it isn't), it gives her huge teamfight presence because it'll split apart a team just in their attempts to avoid it, let alone if she hits with it. Sona's ult doesn't even have half the range or zoning power.

W is on the fence. It's got retarded mana costs if you max it first but it makes trading with her hard, especially in those 2v2 cases in bot lane.

Innate and E are probably underwhelming. I question exactly how good her passive would be in teamfights if she's repeatedly hitting her allies with her spells and boosting them all, but alas.
