My build as support lux: start with boots, ward and health pot. Rush sorc's boots for damage, not some philo that won't help you at bursting down your enemies. Then kage's lucky pick, mejai, rabadon and voidstaff. Mejai's because it's cheap and lux can easily maintain her stacks. Note: game usually ends before you get voidstaff, but you can get rylai for cc and survibility or deathfire for cdr and burst after it. As masteries I use 21 offence and 9 utility, runes I have magic pen, ap and mana regen.

Lux shield is the strongest shield in the game at lvl 1, giving both you and your carry 90/180 health with some flat ap runes. Learn to always aim at your carry, it's one of the hardest skill shots in the game if you have to take lead according to your carry's intentions. Due to her shield lux is very strong especially at levels 2-3, so dont be afraid of being aggro.

Despite shield being strong, it doesn't benefit so much of leveling. Max q for damage because it's less manahungry than e and has higher single-target damage. It's cd also gets lower, so it's better for dps later on while also having better cc.

In lane, focus on snaring enemy carry instead of support. If they initiate on you, focus on getting away while snaring the enemies and shielding yourself and your carry. If they chase you, your carry should kill them while you get away and support him with your long range abilities. Lux isn't a tank but her shield can take heavy damage on early levels. On level 6 her shield get's less useful but her ulti has way more damage than other supports', so lvl 6 fights are also her strongpoint.

In teamfights, you can use your ulti two differend ways: either target as many as possible, just like with other aoe spells, or if your bruiser or assassin has caught their carry you can help bursting him down with your 3000 range (supportassassin ftw). Don't be afraid to ks, you have mejai and you can think about it as kill secure.

About team combination: because lux is squishy supportcarry unlike other supports, so your top and jungler should build tanky enough. Support Lux also allows tanky midlaners due to her damage output which covers the burst your ap carry lacks. Lux works well against squishy teams who cant tank the extra damage she brings.

And always remember: your a goddamn support, so buy those wards, not doran's rings. Though you can ask your carry to buy a ward if you have just enough money for boots because they give her tons of damage.

This build has been proven to work in 1800 elo and lower.
