Janna and Cho can disrupt but Janna also can shield (which also increases damage) players or turrets. Janna also has a heal.
Amumu has a stun and an AoE ult. Lulu can increase a player's dps, reveal an enemy, and has a slow. And she has an AoE ult.
Supports bring something completely different to the game.

Alistar's ult soaks damage for his team. He can headbutt someone to or away from his team. Alistar is rarely likely to use his ultimate as a damage source for killing things.
Lulu's Pix deals extra damage when attacked to someone on her team. She has a slow so her team can catch up to the enemy. Her ult targets someone on her team.
