"If someone were to go Support on him, how would he fare? "

Poorly.

The closest thing you have to a poke is 550 range. Even without accounting for the difference in spell ranges and AA ranges, this means that you have to get into the ADC's AA range to poke at all. With this being the case you're already at a disadvantage compared to 90% of the meta supports - no ranged attack, no real ranged poke, and no tankiness steroid for getting up close and personal with people. You have nothing that directly benefits your carry and you have to push the lane to make use of your passive because you only spawn a blob if you hit something. Your all-in combo, assuming you're maxing Q first, deals a total of 310 damage + 4% max health with a rank 4 Q without using R, and with R and a rank 4 Q it's a max of 660 damage + 4% max health. Compare Thresh: 235 + 170% AD + souls (at least 100 extra) without R, and at least 480 + 170% AD + souls with R. This on a support who's got far more CC, a shield and movement ability for his carry, and actual range advantages. Let's not even get started on Annie or Leona, other popular "kill lane supports". If you want to take a tank to botlane who's not a meta support, better picks would be, or. All of them provide either better CC, better damage or safer laning.
