Some champions such as Janna and Lulu protect their ADC through anticipating damage and shielding their ADC beforehand. They also have high Crowd Control potential which allows them to interrupt and even stop ganks or high aggression instantly.
Other champions protect their ADC by forcing the opposing team to be on the defensive. Blitzcrank and Thresh are examples of these champions as they can be very aggressive and catch the opposing team off guard. These champions use hooks, slow and knockups to force an initiation and lock down the hooked target.
Other champions support by healing damage after its been dealt. Champions such as Soraka, Nidalee, and Nami are excellent healers but can also put a decent amount of damage out when needed.
Wards are also an important part of a supports job. Well placed wards can reveal an incoming gank, a dragon attempt, and allows the team to know where everyone is at any time. Map vision is extremely important especially as the game goes on, and team fights begin to happen. Games are often thrown because there was not enough ward coverage and someone got caught, forcing a 4v5 which is quite hard to win. Although warding is something a support should definitely focus on, it isn't solely your responsibility, teammates should always try to ward whenever they can as this allows for optimal vision, instead of relying on one person to ward the entire map.
