Their tags are classified by their kit before players play them by how they like them.

Lux has CC and Shield and is able to support a carry? thus she has a support tag.

Shen has a mini-heal and an aggressive taunt to help the carry, plus global shield teleport? thus he is tagged as a support.

the fact people use shen's taunt and global tele as ganking tools and play him as a jungler, is another thing. I'm sure riot can forsee how players will decide to classify new champions, but that's another thing to look at.
