In regards to all the other posters- theres a reason you don't build supports as offensive builds. There are characters with much more "efficient" use of those builds as well as having a better use of farm and xp come late game and teamfights.

I've played solo lanes with Lulu, Janna, Soraka, and Taric and have found that they aren't necissarily bad laners. Lulu, Janna, and Soraka make for fairly good AP carries in lane, hard to gank, great exchanges, and Taric makes for a decent tanky-dps. The problem that occurs is what they can deliver for your team. They have a fairly difficult time securing kills in lane and even when fed, a fairly underwhelming damage and teamfight presence compared to other characters that are intended for those roles.

However, this is not to say these characters are poor assets to the team, and they can benefit from farm and gold. But what makes them strong in their own right is how they can ENABLE your teammates, buff and empower them, and cripple their enemies- all without a heavy reliance on farm or kills. These are the features that make them stronger as supports than anything else.
