Supports that are viable, but underused?

I was wondering what people think are some champions that can work as supports, but are not used. I was thinking like orianna or kennen support. What are your opinions. Thanks in advance! :)

Sion support. Seen rarely but pretty effective Sejuani support. Her new kit makes her primed for bot lane Nunu support. Fun to play, is pretty much a less effective lulu Camilles support. Played in LCS that one time, and hasn't been seen since, but technically still viable Lee sin support. Can be good if the player knows what they're doing Shaco support. If you're sneaky enough to pull it off ;) Nocturne support. Fear OP AP Nasus support. No one ever suspects the circles of death Ashe support. Aa's slow, volley slows, R stuns... can be effective I've seen Ez support... played like a control mage it can be effective Cho support. Fun af! Illaoi support. Land e and ur good

Tbh, most champs can play be used as a support one way or another as long as they either have decent poke or reliable cc

Kennen support was a thing in pro play in season 5 iirc. Orianna support is sometimes played in challenger.

They work if you know what to do.

fiddle is good but it is super punishing if you mis-position and fall behind. I still like playing annie support. funny a/f

Trundle and Sion are fun, in that kind of pick. Any bruiser with one decent CC can work. I mean, we're talking about "viable" here, not "strong", so you can get away with a lot of things. In the same vein, Elise works too.

Also, Sona is a standard Support that is really under-rated because she's not really viable at the very top level, but she's actually quite strong at most Elos.

Taric, i feel that in solo q he is really weak pick, but in cordinated 5vs5 team comp could be broken.

For a time, bot lane meta was just completely messed up and me and my friend went up against jinx/fiddlesticks bot lane. He just kept throwing his crows on me and it made me want to rip my hair out.
