Why is Tahm labelled as a support?

With his damage and health ratios combined with his good but not amazing cc, he is definitely a tank. Calling him a support is like calling naut a support.

Why is Tahm labelled as a support?

Because he is labelled as Support-Tank. Because two of his abilities have great strength assisting teammates directly and he functions well as a support (being designed to support and all). Same reason why Nautilus can be called a support, he can be quite good at it.

But either way, you shouldn't pay attention to those tags in the first place; they are pretty meaningless.

Nautalis is NOW classified as a support when the tank meta rolled into town.

What I feel classifies a support:

Tank support - big bulky walls of meat that have lots of cc and ability to counter engage, and counter enemy engagement.

Mage support - Primarily around adding damage/poke on top of the adc in order to confuse building against them defensively.

Pure support - built around mechanics that assist allies, through buffs, heals, and such, while debuffing enemies.

Nautalis is a CC machine, and at the end of the day what role best suits his kit, the jungle where his cc is used to clear, and use it to secure gank kills.

Or A lane where his cc that can be used in a detrimental way, being a hulking wall, deturring and protecting the important ad carry, assigning Naut help enforce his role as a cc tank, his ganks are decent, but his protection and deturrence is what is best.

Riot even marketed naut as a support, facts don't lie SUPPORT FROM THE DEPTHS BUNDLE http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/store/sales/may-bundles-mystery-skins-and-mystery-chest-returns
