Even obvious ones are fine...except Taric since he's been slated for a full-on rework for a while now.** Anyone with the support tag is fine**, and state if you think they need some buffs or a straight up rework specifically tailored to supporting. We're looking at:
Miku Hime sama5 votes There are no good AD item options for support. Ashe herself is perfectly fine, there's just a nonexistent support build path. I guess you could play her as a second ADC, but between Sightstone setting her behind, not getting farm and being the most expensive item path in the game, it'd be a long time before she does anything.
Probably just needs some small buffs. He used to get played a lot more, both jungle and support, but several nerfs in the past year has made him fall out of favor.
A lot of her power is in her scaling. This is not ideal for supports champs who have oft rely on base stats due to a low income making item purchases difficult.
A melee support without a form of hard CC, but I'm not sure if there's any room for buffs without risking Kog'Maw becoming too strong.
This is the weakest support in the game hands down, even weaker than Taric, patch 4.13 completely ruined her. Everything she can do, AT LEAST 2/3 of the other supports in the game can do better and both Nami and Bard are on every last one of those lists. Her kit can't work, she will never be fixed without a revert, partial revert or re-rework.
His only damage source is a skillshot, his abilities all got nerfed and his reset doesn't work on ult anymore. There are a lot of places that can be fixed and it'll take at least a few of them to make him work.
Blade of Justic2 votesZilean just needs a better passive.

None of these champions are intended to be supper strong supports. It just happens to be that parts of their kit fulfill the one or more of the most basic things a support wants.

I mean, that's ENTIRELY fine and all, but the point of the question was "Who do you guys think should gain buffs/reworks as supports?". That means that if someone wasn't intended to be a strong support, you don't have to say "Ashe should be able to steadily increase the strength of her slows as she hits you so her adc can chase and-", because you don't believe that.

Zmuecat1 votesI think the change is nice, but it sounds like it could ruin the champion. She is CCing herself, and I see that as a nerf. To balance it out, I believe all jungle monsters should also be affected, then all the jungle mobs go to mid lane and start an adorable creep war.
You might have to polymorph the minions too, but I'd rather wait and see opposed to straight up making her overpowered.
Environmentalist1 votesLOL I totally thought you were being serious at first. XD You got me good. Yes! Jungle creeps too. That would be... 30 squirrels running around! (including champs, baron, drag, scuttles). / 30 cupcakes / 30 black kitties / 30 baby dragons / 30 snowmen / 30 baby seals
Crossette1 votesOne by one, my opinions. Feel free to voice your own.
is k.
is barely a support unless she's with Vayne. Two slows and a stun doesn't excuse the killsteals xD
how is this a meta support? I could see it happening... But why?
is god and always will be, no matter how bad his heals are.
is macho man who don't need buffs.
honestly has too much CC and damage to not be complained about in any role.
if you play this support then you should stop playing bot games.
is k, plenty of peel and an AOE heal is good for her lack of damage.
could use a touch less damage, both for her supporting and her mid lane.
shouldn't be played support. If she is, then she works decently well in doing her job of protecting.
seems to do more damage every time I fight her.
has a super oppressive laning phase and lots of damage. (see Worlds)
does too much damage for her CC and always has done too much damage.
has no problem aside from maybe her snare duration.
requires lots of precision bubbles, but does a lot of damage and supports well when executed correctly.
shouldn't be played support.
has a shield, speed boost and displacement ult. Other than that she's locked into mid lane.
still does lots of damage for how much utility she brings.
needs a heavy nerf, specifically to her heals on W. Q may heal her too much as well.
shouldn't be played support.
is still super annoying to fight against because he just devours his allies when they should die, and his shield is oppressive paired with his damage, but his kit is fun.
is my favorite support and honestly too powerful.
does so much damage if he builds full AP, paired with his AOE stun. It may be hard to land, but it's VERY effective when it is landed.
is still sort of underpowered.
EDIT: 
is the least risk high reward champion I've seen. It's sad how powerful he is when all he does is hook and knock up.
Edit Edit: If you downvote, actually say something instead of turtling behind the internet.
chipndip11 votesOne by one, my opinions. Feel free to voice your own.
So your answer to this thread...is Zyra...basically Zyra.
Crossette1 votesI just realized that.
Well.
Don't know how tired I was when I made this post, but there are a few other supports
(I.E: )
that really don't fill their role well enough. I only see her as a support when Yasuo is in the game.
NoMonku1 votes needs help. RIOT gutted her after C9 showed how dominant she could be with the Ashe/Zyra lane in S3. She hasn't really gotten any meaningful love since then. Sure she can still hurt now, but because of how short ranged she is now, she can't really do well anymore. I feel they need to rework her so she is either a mid/top mage or a support because her ability to fill the same role as support is what killed her in the first place.
Slamurai Jack1 votesI don't want to see anywhere in this thread (in regards to needing buffed). That circlejerk is both completely ridiculous and extremely annoying.
Miku Hime sama4 votesThis ladies and gentleman, is what we call prejudice. He's projecting an unjustified hate directed at a specific subset of people.
To learn more about our country's history of prejudice, see also: Martin Luther King Jr. and Susan B. Anthony
Slamurai Jack2 votesIt's not unjustified. Sona's been sitting at 52%+ win rate the entire season and I constantly have to hear about how terrible she is and that she's trash tier and that she needs enormous buffs to even be playable. Meanwhile, this community is clamoring to gut my main 
for the second time for having the audacity to be anywhere near a 50% win rate. You guys are calling for massive buffs on a champion that's been at around 53% for the entire season while calling for guttings of champions like Thresh, Yasuo, and Lee Sin who can't even reach 50%. You guys are a bunch of babies. Oh, and keep permabanning Garen while Lux gets through bans every single game with a 55% win rate and 15% pick rate.
Miku Hime sama3 votesMains Yasuo, claims Sona is strong. Now I have a better idea of what kind of sheeple, fad-chasing band-wagoner I'm talking to.
Slamurai Jack1 votesLol. I've been maining Yasuo since everyone thought he was terrible. I kept playing him after 4.18 when everyone jumped ship. The only sheep is here is you for jumping on the Yasuo OP bandwagon just like everyone else.
Miku Hime sama3 votesWhich of those other sheep can quote Riot on the reasons why Yasuo is broken? When creating him, they envisioned a light-weight front-liner dueling out the enemy front-liners. However, his ult let's him reach the enemy back-row with ease and turned him into an assassin. His ultimate does not fit his theme and prevents him from taking on the envisioned role. It's Riot's sheer stubbornness and arrogance that they refuse to rework his ult into something balanceable.
I doubt you actually care about any of that though, you've already made it clear your a prejudicial bigot.
Slamurai Jack1 votesDid you even watch the champion spotlight? He's used there exactly how he's used on live. Duke it out with enemy front lines and then ult enemy back lines when the opportunity arises. I have no idea what vision you're talking about. And please, calling someone a bigot on a gaming forum in a discussion about champion balance makes you sound like a teenage girl that spends way too much time on tumblr. If you're gonna insult me, do it in a way that makes sense. A bigot? Really?
Miku Hime sama3 votesYou chose to come to this thread. You chose to create an intentionally inflammatory post. You chose to instigate an argument on an otherwise civil discussion.
Who's at fault here?
Slamurai Jack1 votesWhat can I say, I enjoy riling up some salty Sona players. They actually think their champion is bottom of the barrel despite 0 numerical evidence anywhere. A 52% win rate champ is not bottom of the barrel. They are, at the very worst, average. You know who is bottom of the barrel? Lucian, who many on these boards insist on defending for whatever reason. Lucian is absolutely terrible and the worst in the game at his role, and I can cite winrates spanning the entire season to go along with that argument. What do Sona players have to show that their champion is weak? Absolutely nothing other than their own opinion. It's an extremely popular opinion around here for reasons that I cannot fathom but it still has no evidence going for it whatsoever. So yes, this time, I started it. And I want to see you defend yourself with something other than "She feels weak."
RedCyclone2 voteswinrates winrates winrates It's all you guys look at, but fuck it, fuck play rate and player experience only winrate matters
Sona maintains a high winrate because she is easy to play, easy to do well with if you don't know shit about the game Only supporting as her is the most mindnumbing experience you can put yourself through because it's so fucking boring and everything you do outside of ulting feels like you do nothing (here take my 150hp lategame heal)
She plays like shit in her primary role, buffs, nerfs, rework? who gives a shit as long as it improves the champion experience all around
Slamurai Jack2 votesIf you want to argue that Sona is boring to play or doesn't feel very impactful, I'd be inclined to agree. Work could certainly be done to make her feel more engaging. But I don't want to hear that she's weak or isn't having success, because she isn't weak and she's well above average in terms of actually winning games.

Well this is cute considering i have people in my friendlist who have >50% winrate with Lucian over 100 games and they don't whine about buffs or whatever and they constantly win with him at dia 3+ elo.
http://euw.op.gg/summoner/userName=how+to+get+rekt
Maybe you should just learn to play him mr. dia 5?
Slamurai Jack1 votesWow, 1 person who can make Lucian work. Maybe he should teach all of us because the community as a whole is really terrible at Lucian apparently, considering that even Lucian mains can't manage a 50% win rate. While we're at it, how about I teach everyone how to play Mundo jungle since I have a 57% winrate on it in over 100 games but Mundo jungle as a whole only manages a 43% win rate. You're not going to see my arguing for Mundo jungle being good, because it's not. I just enjoy playing it.
You wanna know the real reason I know Lucian is terrible? Look at all of the ranked stats for the best adc's in each region. They either don't play Lucian at all or have far lower win rates on him compared to other adcs. 55% on Lucian sounds nice until you see that their Kalista has 80%, their Sivir has 70%, and their Tristana has 65%. Lucian's been rocking bottom of the barrel win rates ever since they nerfed his passive in 4.21 and until they either undo that change or buff him massively some other way, he's going to remain the worst adc in solo q.

Miku Hime sama4 votesAnd I want to see you defend yourself with something other than "She feels weak."
I want you to stop intentionally ignoring facts that have been reiterated countless times. Although, I'm more than glad to keep posting them everywhere if only so more people see them.
Slamurai Jack1 votesAnd yet despite all of that, she has a 51.6% win rate. So either she's strong in spite of all those things, her weaknesses are heavily exaggerated (I'm going with this one), or her strengths are heavily undervalued. You sound like those guys that try to make a champ sound OP by listing everything they do, only in reverse. Just 1 problem: The numbers don't agree with you, and they never have. You can bring up point after point about how much Sona sucks, but she continues to have success despite your protestations. If you're consistently having trouble making a 51.6% champion work for you, then the problem is you.
Miku Hime sama2 votesOr maybe the winrates you worship are just an excuse to hide your prejudiced Sona hate... which you've already openly admitted to.
Of course, bigotry doesn't work on reason, so it's fine that my analysis of your personality doesn't make sense.
Slamurai Jack1 votesI don't hate Sona. I hate people who continuously insist that she's terrible when all of the data we have blatantly disagrees with them. I don't hate Sona. I hate people like you that call balanced champions terrible over and over and until Riot finally caves and buffs them until they're OP. 
But please, keep calling me a bigot. I'm sure you're only posting from a lvl 7 account because your main was banned anyway.
Miku Hime sama1 votes...and now you have to resort to provocation because I've called you out on using propaganda to get your disinformation across.
I'm oft amazed at the lengths prejudice makes people take to justify their hate.
Slamurai Jack1 votesYou got me, I'm oppressing you and all Sona mains! Muwhahahahahahahahahahaha! You're the one that revived a thread that died a week ago. Get your persecution complex out of my face. Sona is fine and the numbers say so and have said so the entire year.

Just a note: Her win rate decreased over time (from about 52-53 ish) and her play rate decreased significantly to under 4%. I wouldn't consider a 51% win rate on a 3.8% play rate "hot". She's played less than nearly any decent support option at this point...
edit: And it's still decreasing...
Slamurai Jack1 votesI wouldn't consider it terrible either, but that's what Sona mains are constantly trying to sell me. They would have you believe that Sona is the worst support in the entire game, and among the worst champions in League as a whole. I am not going to listen to someone tell me that their champion is complete shit at a 51.5% win rate while being told my champion was balanced at a 42% win rate a year ago. Hell, some people told me he needed even more nerfs. You want to talk prejudice against a champion? That's true prejudice.

She isn't the worst in the game, but data shows that she's in one of the worst spots and is still decreasing in popularity, and her win rate is only "decent" because she has a few dedicated mains of her. In my personal opinion, supports that need buffs are Zyra, Sona, Taric (rework incoming), Nunu, Fid Sticks, Nami, Karma, and Zilean. Well, Karma needs to be tailored more to solo-laning than anything, but still. I include Nunu and Fiddle because they're completely LOST in the game atm. They need full-on reworks badly.
Slamurai Jack1 votesShe isn't the worst in the game, but data shows that she's in one of the worst spots
Sona Win Rate 51.6% 8 / 25
Zyra Win Rate 53.2% 2 / 25
What data? First time Sonas have a 50.2% win rate. As in they win over half the time their first game on a supposedly terrible champion in high elo. There is no data to support that Sona is weak, anywhere. Just the testimony of a bunch of Sona players who _definitely _ aren't biased.

I'm trying not to reply to this thread since I'm more gathering opinion on the subject, and I would most likely be more biased to squishy supports since they're both out of the meta right now and what I mainly play, but I WILL say that I have rarely ever told someone or showed someone that I used Sona without them saying either "She's a shit champ" or "Play someone like Tahm/Leona/Blitz/Braum/Thresh/Morg/Janna/Annie". I rarely have anyone commend me for picking this champ now that I'm out of Silver. What's more is that I'm rarely contested for the pick either. But that's just me saying.
Besides, this is more about who you think would need support-oriented buffs, not making sure Sona players don't get a say.
Krinu1 votesHm. I can't speak for most of these, but I'll talk about the ones I do play.
Honestly, all she does is lane bully and push until six, at which point she serves as a gank counter / dive enabler for her carry. The issue with making her a stronger support is that it risks overpowering (or breaking) her as a fighter, which is her more generally accepted role. If I had to change something, though, I'd change up her Reckoning and Holy Fervor.
Basically, you could still use Reckoning as an opener to catch a fleeing foe, as a soft execute in a teamfight, or to help secure a kill for an ally during laning phase.
BRBGTGBOWFLEX1 votesAnivia is pretty fine as she is-- changes may make mid unviable. Ashe is not meant to be a support and should not be buffed for that role. She is a utility ADC similar to Sivir with an engage/pick ultimate. Fiddlesticks support was nerfed specifically because it was too strong. This has harmed his jungle a lot. He should be focused as a jungler. Bard needs some love and possibly a rework. They said they had "the levers" to adjust Bard. They really don't. Heimer should not receive support buffs. His viable roles are elsewhere. Janna may need some changes. However, making tankiness and engage less of a priority is probably more important. Karma needs a huge rework. Her kit just doesn't work that well for either of her roles. Leona is fine. Lulu is fine-- she's now become a utility mid or top rather than a support. That's fine, her role in the game functions. Her kit may need to be reworked if the desire is to make her an actual support. Lux's role is mostly a control mage. She has edge-cases for support, but with her performance mid it's not really worth discussing. Orianna - see above. Morgana- Morg is fine and plays well with certain comps/against them. Nami is pretty much fine. Sort of forced out due to meta, but her basic kit is still good. Nunu he's just better off being recast as a top/jg. Sona feels underwhelming compared to other supports due to most of her power still feeling a bit invisible. She may need a rework because she doesn't feel as involved as she should. Raka probably needs slight nerfs. Syndra is an edge-case support. More clarity is needed vs her support or mid role. What does she really do that much better than Annie? Tahm is in a decent place at the moment. Might be better to make his jungle/top role more pronounced, since he's kind of more fun there. Thresh is fine. Maybe change the scaling on his ult slow. Zilean is obnoxious and toxic. They just reworked him, but his core problem of being a really reactive and unrewarding champion are still there. Zyra feels way too squishy early on-- maybe giving her something to bring to another laner helps. Currently she suffers from Heimers problems in that she takes CS and doesn't provide much to other laners.
Lugg1 votesSupports are probably the best balanced class in the game right now. You have TONS of viable options right now.
Lux, Tahm, and Thresh need slight nerfs, but that's about it.
Dryditch1 votesZyra needs a little buff to her spitter range, and she'll be awesome again. Kayle doesn't do support-y things in my book, so she's out Generally Heimer can go fuck himself and needs to be reworked so his turrets aren't unkillable stations of death for champs who can't poke. Fiddle's a better jungler than support, but still brings plenty of utility.
