if you separate the champions in the shop to the support category Orianna Heimerdinger Gangplank (ok srsly wtf riot)Syndra andAnivia are all listed.

wtf.

edit: before i get downvoted into oblivion for "enforcing muh meta" please tell me what any of those champions really have to offer at the support position that the actual traditional supports don't do better without robbing your laner of cs and kills

You're mixing up the terms "Support" (position) and "Support" (champion class)

I think this sums it up.

They're classified as secondary supports due to their higher-than-average utility for their respective roles.

i've done a lot of support syndra and as long as you're not taking cs from the adc (no good support does this regardless of the champ they're playing) it's actually pretty good. she has a stun, slow, and some of the best burst in the game, combined with frost queens it's enough to win lane. not great late game but kill lanes are always fun.

Anivia is possible, but for the rest, it really doesn't make sense.

GP could maybe have been considered a support before his rework, where he could give an AS buff to team mates, but after the rework, they should've redone his tags

Anivia is a great supp for Vayne... i don't know about Anivia supping for other champs but Anivia and Vayne do make a good team.

I think riot forgot to change the support tag for Gangplank after they reworked him.

He use to have an aoe team buff lol.

highly possible since Shyv's tips still refer to Phage as a slowing item and Graves's tips still tell you to using Quickdraw to get in range for a good Buckshot.

As a guy who donger supports.. You basically use your turrets to not let them push up to your turret... keeps them in lane plus you got nice poke. You also can roam a bit.. your rockets let you kill secure mid if needed cause of range.

if you're using turrets under your tower you're most likely screwing your adc's farm over
