Morgana

Extreme

She can put a stop to your chase with her Dark Binding, and completely prevent your cc using Black Shield, as your Rupture is slow enough for her to react.

Kalista

Ideal

Her Fate's Call is perfect for you, allowing you to get in tanking/Feasting range easily. She also has good mobility which allows her to go in on your Rupture hits.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

Being in bot lane means you are near dragon as well as 2 enemy laners, so you have plenty of Feast targets.
Rupture does more damage to jungle monsters than upgraded smite, meaning stealing jungle objectives from the enemy jungler is possible even if they smite correctly.
As a support your life is more extendable, meaning you can flash/blast cone/run it down into a jungle objective to steal it with your Feast and then die without worrying about losing cs or feeding the enemies too much.
Rupture is a great cc tool should enemies be predicatable enough to land it (such as when they're chasing you or are preoccupied with a jungle objective)
Feral Scream cripples combo users and all close-range skill users
With your big health pool and even bigger hitbox, you can easily block all manner of skillshots from Nautilus' Dredge Line to Jinx's Super Mega Death Rocket! to protect your allies.
Can fill in the role of tank if you have a squishy top laner.

Cons:

If you poke a lot early on using Rupture you will experience mana issues.
Champions in the bot lane are generally more mobile and have smaller hitboxes than top laners, making your Rupture difficult to hit.
Your Carnivore can only be used sparingly to prevent stealing cs.
You are easily hit by skillshots due to your large hitbox, and only immobilises will proc your Evenshroud.
Best results require playing defensively, meaning you will be unlikely to get tower platings.
As a support, you will generally have less gold and exp than the other roles, meaning you will be behind compared you a top-lane Cho'Gath player and less able to tank/deal damage.
Your team may think you are trolling. Whoops.

Tips

YOU CAN GET 6 Feast STACKS ON MINIONS. USE THEM! If you don't think you'll use your Feast in the next minute, make sure to stack minions, especially early game.
Ping your jungler that your Feast is ready and tell them not to smite so that you can stack it
Vision is your best friend, especially on jungle objectives! As a support you don't have to focus on cs so keep an eye on where the enemy jungler is (as well as the laners) so you can potentially steal Rift Herald, Drake, or Baron Nashor.
You get a speed boost after using Teleport, so it can be used to quickly chase a low-health enemy and clean up a fight.
You can use Feast on Rift Herald after it is summoned (counting as an Epic Monster stack), so it is useful to Teleport to where it is to stop it charging or taking too much of your towers and get a Feast stack in the process.
Play defensive. Focus on vision, securing jungle objectives, preventing the death of you and your allies, and farming your Relic Shield/ Spellthief's Edge.
