Runes for support don't exist...

As the title imply there are no real runes effect for supports, yeha there are a couple that are strictly for supp: the "mark target and ally heals by attacking him" and the "extra shield power" but really? That's all we have for supp? I played main supp for over 5 years, always loved em even when the lane items for supp didn't exist, but now i just refuse to play supp, we have gone back to the time where supp were just weaker champions... They did progress when they changed the "masteries" and now we are regrading with the new runes... why? And yeha there are runes that works well for "CHAMPIONS" that can be supp, but not for supp roles in general... Where is the option to go tanky morgana? What are the runes decent for a Thresh or a Blitzcrank? Tenacity? Was tenacity ever a thing? One of the most meh stat that are around is now a thing that deserves a rune slot? O.o Mark targets? Really? One of the thing less used ever... There is no middle ground for cc ranged champs, is just "dmg or tanky" where is the guy that made the masteries from last season? Did they fire him or what? Well sorry for the "rant" but after 5 years of playing supp i log in and find out that they cut the legs of half the supp champs around, now is all shielder champ (soraka, janna, karma, ecc) or tank melee, and if you notice the runes that supp take are the SAME as if you were in another lane... because as i said in the title there is no supp rune, so if you do 2+2 it means that a tank supp is a weaker top and a ranged supp is a weaker mid (unless as i said you're a soraka or janna, ecc).

They might want more damage. Im guessing aery, glacial(rune seems useless, need to change for empiwered slows or every x ability slows) and resolve one. But they will add a gold one soon im guessing they added like 2 or 3 masteries randomly last season or 2 in middle of year.

Actually, I have been really digging Glacial Assault with Frost Queens Claim. Combined with the item cooldown reduction, that thing is up every 30sec or so. Which means I can initiate a teamfight with it and then catch the run aways afterwards.
