There's Lee Sin, Thresh, Sona, Irelia, but who else?

Seems to mean able to adapt to multiple different playstyles. Ie, when you take Leona support, there isn't really much you can do in a passive lane other than sit in the bush, but Thresh gets to all in AND harass passively.

I'm gonna say Ahri and Zed for this one, working with both Orianna style play and Leblanc style play.

ADC wise, I think Tristana is the best example of a champ that can play a poke+farm lane and an all in lane equally well. Best to bring attack speed on her though.

I kinda need it too. I started listing everything the all the champions had, but if Sona is a generalist then most classic supports are.

Sorry, Sona isn't really a generalist champ, and Irelia isn't either, really. They both have specific niches they fill within the champ roster that require them to be weak and strong in specific areas. Well, dunno much about Irelia, but the complaints about her aren't that she can do everything, it's that she does one thing too well.

You're thinking of champs like Nid, Lee and Zed who have so much stuff crammed into their kit that they can fulfill multiple roles without even changing their builds.

Zed (mobility, damage, and tower pushing strength), Dr.Mundo (high ad tank with ap damage that = 25% current hp), and to an extent Nunu (tank, high ap damage, attack speed,true damage healing).
