Yes i see your points to the argument. What i would say sits a support separate from a caster mage would not be lack of CC but lack of damage compared to a mage and the addition of support skills. With most mages almost every power is focus on killing or helping their other powers kill. I would say their lack of support abilities excludes them from support. We have all seen AP support builds but they are never going to have the damage potential of a good mage. Again it's a point of view argument but I understand the need to separate these two classes of champions. As a new player i remember looking at champion tags in the game and reading these terms used in chat and wanting a good description of what they where. I can see now that it's better to generalize rather than worry about specific exceptions to the rule. You want to describe a simple play style that someone new to the game can understand and use.
