It's a problem a lot of people in low elo don't understand. Lux has some supportive features, but none of them are really good. Her CC has consits in an easy dodgable root and a dlow field that is mostly used for only its damage, both spells have a high cooldown, aren't THAT good for peeling nor for zoning. Her damage is good, but needs items to ramp up, unlike Zyra's or Brands damage which are effective with only a few or even none damage items. And her utility is limited to a skillshot shield that even woth both instances isn't really strong.

Lux works so well in midlane, because she has a good combination of damage, CC and utility, but this combination only works if she is building damage. Her CC isn't strong enough on its on, neither is her utility. That's why she isn't that good of a support. Naturally, a good Lux can do well as support, even with supportive items, but in that case there is a lot of wasted potential aswell in Lux with a build like this as in the support role that got manned with her. If she had higher base damages and lower scalings or a bigger shield or something like that, she would be a good support, but a change like that could break mid Lux.
