can work on a support. Though I wouldn't say is one of those supports it works WELL on due to the fact that he doesn't fall under the category of supports that use it effectively. Typical supports this works legitimately well on are the kinds that blast a lot of mana when poking the enemy while needing to peel constantly for their ally.

The reason it works well on them is because the massive level of sustain and pool means that the support doesn't have to worry about himself/herself too much. The support can focus on dealing with their enemies and allies rather than worrying like, "Oh god, I'm OOM and low on health. My ADC got caught, but I can't do anything about it." The focus is stronger on poking than it is with all-ins because movement speed is better for setting up all-ins; making a better choice.

Some good examples of who this can work on is, , , and. The mana and health sustain allow the supports to maintain themselves after getting poked and poking themselves. Then, the AP adds onto the poking power and/or other ratios that are relevent to supporting. Finally, the extra health and mana pool allows them to deal with all in's better as they have enough to drop a whole combo to peel for themselves and their ally.
