If you pick off an enemy that would require your carry to put themselves at serious risk to finish (like a tower dive or into a fresh enemy champ), then Lux is far from useless. And you would be surprised how often that scenario comes up.

Though only using it to killsteal is a very bad idea given its relatively quick cooldown. Generally speaking, if I can nuke 3+ champs with it and my team is committed to the fight, I'll fire it to contribute directly.

But if I can pick off stragglers to spare my teammates a gank they aren't likely to get, I'll take the shot without hesitation, and to the cacophony of people bitching about "kill steal!"

Good players make those judgment calls.
