I know that he isn't designed to be a support, as you can see in a comment below. He has a kit of a fighter/tank, as you just said and has enough tools to solo lane, but because of his pressure and his kill potential he is picked on botlane as support. However, he isn't the only one who is picked as support, although he wasn't supposed to be one in the first place (see the vary of mage supports such as Brand or Zyra). These champs all have the same goal: to build up pressure and have the potential to kill the enemy ADC, BUT Riot balanced them around the fact that they are picked as supports, or at least they try. They don't have such selfish things as Blitz does and they still are usefull if they don't have the opportunity to kill someone. Either wit their CC, their damage or zone potential, they still are present. Blitz is not. He is either grabbing an important target or he is not. He isn't balanced on the role that he is picked into. That's at least my oppinion.
