Tl;DR: Lux's AP deals ton of damage if you proc her passive and Lux support in a kill lane is awesome.

AP lux is only bad if you don't learn to aim her skill shot or use her passive.

She actually has a very high burst potential if you proc her passive. For a full combo at lv 6, she can do a QRAAEAA combo for a total of 70*3 proc + 60 + 300 + 150 = 720 damage burst, not counting that 2.05 AP ratio as well.

Let's compare it to another mage with huge burst like LB at lv 6

210 (Sigil) + 231 (mimic) + 85 + 80 = 606 damage base with 3.49 ratio.

Considering that it's only early game (lv6), let's assume that both side has around 45 AP (1 doran, 15 AP from runes and mastery)

Lux deals 720 + 45*2.05 = 812.25 damage

LB deals 606 + 45*3.49 = 763.05 damage

Do note that I did not add in the 2 AA hit that both side will be exchanging when Lux tries to proc her passive after her ult and after her E because they will cancel each other out or deal only 2-3 more damage than the other side.

Her early damage is even higher than LB, a champ that speciailizes in early game burst. Also, her moves are AoE. Late game, she can initate a fight with her Q on people that overextend or are out of position, poke with E and nuke the whole group with simple ER combo and shield the whole group, pretty much adding 360 + 0.7 hp to the ally being targeted and 360 + 0.7 is huge. With great team positioning, shielding at least 2 allies happen all the time so that's 720+1.4 minimum effective health for the enemies to deal with.

About support Lux, bot suck if they fail to get at least 5 kills within 15 minutes with a 2 sec 1175 range snare, a free tempory nuking harassing slowing ward and a kill secure move.
