Where are the supports?

There are many champs in this game. But only a handful are meant for support. The reason I made this post was to point out the absence of champs meant for support(not talking about Lux or others champs that aren't meant for support).

Supports don't get much love. Every new champ is either assassin or marksman. But no supports. Support is one of my favorite roles but there aren't many good supports that I can play(yes people like support). So Riot, where are the supports? BTW is trash.

Edit: NEVERMIND BARD IS GREAT!!

Excuse me? Bard is trash? Bard main here. :^) Went from Bronze 2 -> Gold 3 playing Bard 80% of the time.

Good sir/honey; You don't play it correctly at all. It can majorly change the field of play without any hesitation. It, and I mean It ( since it's cosmic being ) is a VERY GOOD support, especially in this meta. You must not meet a lot of them; then. Supports are common, in Bronze people are VERY VERY hesitant to play support. A lot of people in Bronze like to dive constantly, and they like to play aggressively.

I could play Janna for the rest of my life and be happy. Why do we need more?

Bard isn't trash, be just requires a huge amount of cordination with your lane partner.
