Okay. He also has a stun and a pull. That's two CC abilities. Both hard CC.

That makes him just as much of a support as Blitz.

Blitz is not a support.

He was never designed to be one, the only reason hes played as one is because he sucks everywhere else.

i mean to be fair, his kit screams hook enemy so team follows up. The only weird thing about blitz is his passive lightning thing, which can steal cs. Other than that he seems to be solidified as a support.

Ummm, are you talking about Pyke? If so I think you didn't read the whole thing. As long as the ADC is involved in the enemy's death than even if Pyke get's that execute ult it will count as if the ADC got the final hit in. This is for people that don't want to be a support since it is usually such a passive and non-play making role, so Riot answered by making an aggressive support that is in a way allowed to get the kills. Also he does have moves that work for a support, his Q (a Slow/or/Hook) and his E (a stun).

Because half of Zed's lane opponents fled mid and settled into enemy botlane as support. Someone has to hunt that down, while providing at least some support utility (which likes of Zed, Kata or Talon do not).

Let me try to really dumb it down for you.

Q: Is very much like Blitz and Thresh's hook. Pull an enemy in, beat the crap out of them, let your ADC get the kill. Incidently, this and his E would put Pyke in the Catcher category of support.

E: Get into position to stun the enemy. Hard CC is a good and even common thing for supports.

W: With the Q and E in mind, this let's you get into position to set up those CC moves and secure 2v1 kills. Much like how a support wants to act. Supports like to roam when they can, and this is a great roaming tool.

R: This is a support's wet dream. To be able to kill an enemy without actually stealing by still granting your ADC the kill gold is something I've only ever seen once in one other MOBA (SMITE if you're curious). With this ult, none of the kills are steals, leaving you with the only thing to worry about is actually killing the enemy.
