Leona should be listed as a support.
Yes, she is a tank, but as someone who mains Leona, I would enjoy, when I type support into the search menu, to see Leona there.
Same goes for Morgana and Alistar.

I feel like listing Leona (and other tanks for that matter) as a support is somewhat redundant because tanks fundamentally fill a supportive role on a team that is oftentimes focused on initiation, disengage, peel, and disruption, with a few exceptions (Alistar and Shen both have abilities that directly support their allies through health restore and shields, respectively).
Leona is one of the tankiest bitchs in the league atm. I think tank is the most applicable tag for her.
Morgana is debatable because she in the past has been indeed a midlane AP mage.
But yes pls Leona/Alistar be listed as supports. Especially since they are actively trying to keep Alistar a support.
alistar was originally meant to be a bruiser i think, and i know for a fact that morgana was ap mid laner in season 2 and 3. i've play against some mid morganas to (though most of them lose lane cause they cant make skill shots in a solo lane, and its easy to gank mid)
I think that we should be allowed to make our own groupings of champions into tabs that we can access in champion select.
If Annie can be reclassified as Support, Morg sure can. The only supportive thing Annie has is a stun. Shes chosen as support for damage, but using that logic would make over half the roster "supports". Leona's main thing is CC and initiation, which is far more supporty than Annies single stun.
Alistar and Leona primarily fill the "tank" role, as in they "tank" damage first, and help their allies later. It makes sense for Leona and Allistar to have this as their primaries, and it also makes sense for Braum to have this as his secondary. Morgana was a niche support until the Leona and Braum tank meta, where her Black Sheild functioned better as an early Crucible (which is why crucible kinda sucks, since you can't get it early, where it'd be the most useful). Morgana should definitely have her mage status be primary since she's meant to be a burst AP anti-caster, and same goes for Lux, even though both of them can do some top notch supportin.
Blitzcrank as well, he is currently listed as a primary tank and secondary support
i jungle w/leona more then support, i've played her ap mid against fizz and won ; /. she is very versatile, but at her core she soaks damage, Her w is a built in armor/MR steroid with damage at the same time. Tank is very appropriate for her.
