It's been an excruciatingly long time since we've seen a new support. The only one to be released this year I think, is Karma. Weeeee. Meanwhile, they've released champions of every single other role; junglers and tanks and assassins and carries, everything BUT supports. Is it because the role is not popular to play? It seems like Riot releases high damage, high mobility, and gimmicky characters all the time. They're doing nothing to flesh out the game.
I was hoping upon hope that Ahri would be a support champ. But guess what? Yet another annoying character with high damage and mobility.
Pull it together Riot, and fix my ******* Janna bugs.

I don't care about my rep, but you can +rep if you want to.

Leave this to the proz, last time I *****ed about something lacking it was about AD ranged carries and BAM! they released graves.
Point is, with the current meta releasing supports is pointless to riot as
ANY
****ING
SINGLE
TANK
suddently became a support (see leona)
Huge deal? yes it is huge deal, expecially since Leona-blitz and whoever the **** you can name is used as support currently was an excelent solo top once.

For all you questions about jungling

It's because most people who play the game are brain dead, and don't see the point in playing anything other than BANG SMASH BOOM. This is why I play Alistar... :D But yeh, totally right, we need a new support like badly. The last one that came along was Karma, come on Riot! I'm sure if they made another character that could be played as a mid or support, or a jungle or support or such, people would buy into it, and the guy's who realise it's full potential as a support will be pleased. Idk why they aren't doing this.

Edit: Forgot about Leona.

It's also worth noticing that is pretty damn hard to make new full support chars the requirements a good kit are very strict.
Think of how karma is hardly outclassed by other supports because of her CC being too weak and her support being not as good as, also she lacks an iterrupt.
