I'm not sure why but going a support in a solo lane makes me feel special and powerful

I'm sure you guys have had this feeling before. You like Janna mid or some shit and have so much fun and feel like you're the most powerful person on the team. But it disappoints me that Riot tries a little too hard to force a support into a role. In my opinion it kind of makes them really linear. There must be someway to let them be able to go into another role without nerfing their damage into the ground. Here's a list of the support champions that were nerfed due to them going in a different lane.

Soraka Mid and Top (seriously 2 abilities she can't use on herself what the fuck)

Janna Mid (Season 3 R.I.P.)

Alistair Mid, Jungle and Top

Nami Mid (Patch Pi OP)

Lulu Mid and Top (._.)

These were really fun picks and were probably from when League was a better place. I mean, you didn't even have to nerf them too hard anyway. They naturally fall off late game too. And if their winrates ARE too high, couldn't you like do minor nerfs at a time until they got a stable winrate, just like you did with Sona? I know you're trying to force a meta Riot, but this is really something that needs to be addressed.

A champion who is designed to function without gold tends to be bullshit when they are able to scale with it as well.

Lulu mid and top was impossible to punish cancer that had a near perfect laning phase and scaled into a very powerful utility mage who provided all the support her carry could need.

A lot of those champions are completely unfun to play against when they were strong in solo lanes. Lulu and Soraka come to mind -they both have shined at different times and should never have been solo laners.

Saddly new Taric does not have this crazy burst with armor shred, ult ad/ap buff and point blank stun.

I miss him sometimes :(.

Lol I played him versus Olaf and he was losing so hard that he had to get camped by 3 people for half of the game.Fed my ass and kept getting 4 man dived but still won

Leona is one of my go-to toplaners. Rush Sunfire into Trinity, then either go tank with sterak's or go titanic hydra like a boss.

Something about supports in solo lanes being broken as hell when viable because it's impossible to stop them from providing utility when you stomp them yet everything still goes their way if they win, or so i've heard I haven't seen anything more than Lulu mid
