i can tell you why he's not popular as support... that's because he's terrible...

and no you can't poke like nida, nor be as devastating as leona...

nida does loads more damage in more consistent way with spears and her traps are more prolific than saplings (still not the best support)

and leona can dive and cc just as mao can, but she has crazy def steroid and tops it of with tons more damage during her gib combo (that passive)

while mao will be able to just sustain self somehow, will have weak poke with saplings and while diving will probably get self killed, so no not a good support...

do everyone a favor and go jungle, hes ganks are crazy good and teamfight is quite potent with ulti as well, just go tanky and forget all the ap rubbish
