Camille support?
Anyone else playing Camille support? played it a couple games and it seems really strong, especially just going tank with her and soaking everything up late game

Why? You can soak up damage with the likes of an Alistar, and have 3x the utility that a support Camille could offer.
This seems to becoming a pattern, once a champion is released/reworked, people play "Will it Support?" more often than "Will in Jungle?"
Yet the problem with this train of thought is, you think of the possibilities, without considering the opportunity costs.
No tank stats (her passive doesn't count as one)
No team-supportive utility (even J4 or Yorick's wall works better than her "wall")
No team protection (such as saving your ADC with Morg's Q/Tahm's W/Janna's Q)
Conclusion: Just don't...
She offers no support qualities besides her ultimate, which helps her duel not her team catch people.
Her supporting qualities are about the same as 
support.
That's up there with Jayce support.
Fun but not really a good idea.
Although I do want to try Jayce support.
For low elo I do want to say that I have a 7 game winstreak as only Camille support. She has to be picked into lanes that are a bit lower on cc. Obviously vayne lux will stomp her if you go for wall stun everytime, but against sona or soraka for example she can easily maneuver and lock an ADC. Also she trades like a beast, courage plus her passive makes her very hard to successfully whittle, and she stays combat ready with around 100 mana.
She has cons but comparing her to riven and jayce is honestly incorrect. Camille has a stupid quick gap close, her shield will be bigger than riven, even if some of it can only block ADC/supp damage. She has built in sustain that has a moving cast, allowing her to evade a large variety of skill shots while trading and escaping, while riven is stationary while she q3s. Also she can do some insanely clutch saves. Mainly coming from the fact you can queue tac sweep while hooking, allowing you to bounce and move back, slowing them a .5 seconds before the stun ends. And she can do this though thick walls if she has vision of the aggressors.
Back to her cons: Weaker to cc than most champs (her kit involves second casting a lot) Can be predictable, and requires creative play to succeed Can be counter picked easily, don't take her every game unless you know how to win the matchup. Blitz in particular dumps on you Isn't exceptionally tanky until mid-late game, making her rely on her courage shield more than Ali or naut. Slow can be hard to land in some matchups, Lucian and ez, but her ADC can follow up if you position right. I'm not saying it is the best thing ever, but it is much more than a meritless troll pick. I truly want to see it be played in plat+, so I can point to a good player, rather than myself. (You can check my lolstarz, I'm undefeated with Camille support right now.)
