What depends on your team comp? I doubt a team comp will make one role less useful
From the riot list of supports:
Galio -strong armor/mr buff, lacks strong poke if going support
Janna -good ad shield, excellent snare, bad poke if you can't land a shield
Karma -heals and shield
Kayle -heals and snare
Lulu -lots of cc, and shield
Lux -skillshot shield, some cc, mana intensive for pokes
Morgana -spell shield some cc, mana intensive for pokes
Nidalee -as buff/heal, mana intensive for pokes
Shen -taunts, and helps heal allies with q
Sona -strong passive auras, cc, good early game poke
Soraka -heals, feeds mana, silences, global heal
Taric -stuns, good early burst, heals and buffs
Teemo -blinds, poisons, obviously shrooms
Zilean -cc, bombs, free guardian angel, but people complain that he goes ap and not support. but needs to go ap to make ult worthwhile.
other supports that are great:
alistar -knockups/heals/knockbacks
heimerdinger -free wards, blinds that might be a stun. turrets snare with ult
nunu -buffs, snares
fiddlesticks -fear, silences
nautilus -snare, grabs, for sure knockup with ult, binds
maokai -snare, saplings, binds
volibear -snare, table flips
sejuani -perma slow, skillshot aoe stun.
blitzcrank -silence, grabs, knockup
leona -double stun

there are certain adc/support combos that just work way better than others. a passive support doesn't mix well with an aggressive adc.
and an aggressive support doesn't mix well with a passive adc.
the support role becomes less useful if they can't utilize their stuff effectively to assist their adc. if the support can't help their adc to get kills/farm then they become either:
a.) useless person standing there
b.) a ward ***
