" Supports set up and provide assistance to their allies through heals, buffs and other utility."

As a support main I'd argue that playing support is about playstyle, not your champ pick. I can pick Sona botlane and proceed to build full AP without bothering with any kind of support items, fighting my ADC for every single cs that they try for, attempt to hog all the kills and completely forget about warding whatsoever: I'm not playing "the support" there despite picking a quintessential support champion. Equally, if I'm willing to defer my power as Brand to pick up items my team needs, take responsibility for the lion's share of the team's vision control, donate every kill I safely can over to people with high gold requirements, and only build AP when it's safe/practical for me to do so then I think I'm being more "the support" there than in my asshole Sona example. No?

I mean hell Blitz just CCs one thing off his skillshot Q and makes it die, but no-one has a problem with him being called a support because he's really good at that in a duo lane... Equally, I don't see many people calling WW a support because he buffs his allies and provides utility. I suppose what you want to call them is kind of irrelevant; the question is "are they strong/do they work?" in the position you're playing them in, but hey, just my two cents.
