To add to the madness, I approve playing every single on of these supports at every level of play. The problem you should have is not with the champion, but rather the player who can't seem to play unorthodox supports to the level expected. For one measly example, I've played Lee Sin support and **** on people in my tier. Regardless, it isn't about the champ. It's about the player who picks teemo and doesn't know how to auto attack when they come into range, or blind the adc in fights, or generally does nothing but get killed and die, or the Shen who goes in, gets a double taunt and doesn't see your health bar is at 100 hp. Or the idiot who goes Ashe support and spams arrows, taking cs, missing the enemy, dying profusely, not warding, and generally just playing support because they didn't get adc.
In the end it's the guy/gal on the other end of the line, not the tool given to them.
<3 NateDoggy :p

No thats some other person.
Seriously though, does anyone actually use ANY of the supports on his list?
Apart from Karma and Annie literally every single one is like trash tier support.
Basically MOBAFire.
Threads like these are the reason why nobody will ever take MOBAfire as a credible League site.

Gangplank, Shen, Elise, Galio*, Ashe, LeBlanc (Yes, some of these have actually been played as "supports")
*Only if you have sufficient skill and/or a direct line of communication to take advantage of your playmaking kit.
I'm sick and tired of getting landed with these idiots that think they can play any champion they want, grab Sightstone and any of the three supportive gold income items and call them themselves support. Half the time they grab a Doran's Ring and attempt to sustain themselves and their terrible pokes by stealing CS.
Arguments I've gotten as to why they can be successful supports:

tl;dr stop playing support if you don't know how be supportive. /rant.
with the exception of Zilean/ Galio (who are just not that good atm), Ashe (who's just not worth playing as a support), and Teemo (who is just a terrible support), nearly all of those champions are actually playable as supports.
my most played support in ranked as of this moment (I main support, btw):
She's perfectly fine as a support if you're not a total moron. :P
and I'd never had anyone complain at me about any of my picks for support this season. at all. until yesterday when I picked Thresh...but that Vayne was literally raging at everyone in the entire game on both sides and fed harder than anyone else on the team.

Name a single sustain support that sees any competitive play (spoiler: there are none).

There is only one champ that cannot and may not be played as a support, and that is Nidalee.
I will admit Nidalee support is my "I'm angry and just want to murder everyone" pick in normals. Just ask OTG, who has seen this more than a few times.

You heard it here people, if you play a champion 4 times in ranked queue, that automatically proves your point! Thanks for sharing!

"I played with some bad players who picked x champion so therefore x champion is a bad support and shouldn't be played as such" feels like the entire theme of this thread. So I was pointing out that the kind of blanket statement that was made is sort of ridiculous.
4 games don't prove Karma is good, but that wasn't really the point of posting it. I was mostly poking fun at the original post.
Note the ridiculous over-zoomed in screenshot from lolking, I dunno how you could have taken that seriously.

I mini-ranted, others didn't express quite as well as this guy.
