The primary issue with "Support Lux" is that it suffers from the main issue that every other support champ suffers from. AP ratios on all abilities functionally guarantees that it will be more efficient mid-late game to work on items that bolster your casting ability. Her shield is the perfect example of this; it's functionally useless unless leveled early on or given sufficient AP.

But if she has the AP, then it turns into a shield that blocks well over 300 damage per pass, on your entire team. This can block Karthus ults, save your team from Caitlyn, destroy the offensive strength of Brand, etc.

In the end, she can support most effectively simply by stacking offensive power. That is the issue with all "support" champs in the game; stacking them offensively is how you increase the strength of their support abilities. In the end, Lux plays largely as an AP burst simply because of how potent and spammable her ult is.
