So why does riot make supports so strong?

riot said to be a viable support the champ needs to have decent cc and high base dmg. ok but what if you build dmg on that support? i do dmg leona all the time and i get a dmg item or 2 and im stronger than most of the ppl im playing with. or if im sona i just get sheen and i out poke any adc and heal back up. why have supports if you can just build dmg on them and then do more dmg than the supposed dmg champs

You sound like your playing against bad players. Building damage on a support will only make you die against skilled players. You're not going to be able to out damage a carry, you'll be squishy so you won't be able to peel/tank in teamfights, and you won't be providing additional utility to the team (you'll either be dead, or the enemy support will have items that help the team while you don't).

A while ago I played Jinx against a mid Sona that was like 17/1 in the mid game. Her Q took over half my health by itself. We stalled the game out to 45 minutes, I got Banshee's, and then I easily cleared from top's inhib turret to nexus. Basically, when they have enough gold, marksman are god-tier-OP-can't-touch-this-shit. Assassins, our greatest counter, are nice and all, but they can't exactly end games. Likewise for teamfight oriented champs like Leona and AP Carries. You need to destroy our team while keeping your team alive so you can group at a turret. I just need to walk up when you aren't noticing me.
