You can still be a support, but you should farm a bit so you can get some AP.
In my case it only takes a little farm to get the gold I need (2-3 minions every other minion wave).
This is with 3 avarice quints, greed, and a GP/10 item.
EDIT: Avarice quints are dirt cheap (515 IP each) and every champion can benefit from them, so getting them is worth it.

Zero farm support is still the best for your team.
Just take the lasthits you KNOW your partner will miss. It's not easy, but that's what a good support should do.

"I saw [Twilight: Eclipse] in theaters with a girl I was dating at the time. I spent more time staring at my toes and wiggling them than I did watching this abomination. When Edward proposed to Blank Face, I finally looked up with a revelation.
I blurted out loud, in a dead silent theater full of teenage girls on opening night "Wait a minute, Edward has no blood flow. How does he get an erection?" I heard several men laughing, and had several girls turn and stare at me.
I did not get laid that night." - Berengier817

Yes this.
If you see your teammate is low health of being super passive don't be afraid to go in and take some CS for yourself.

Not necessarily. Zero-Farm Support was more viable.
Riot killed that with this change, so now you need farm to do well.
Your way was still only second best until this patch came along. :P
I said I've been saying it, not that it was more viable. =P
