Ok as a lux main I have to set you straight a little bit. Lux CAN support, i will not however say that she is a good support, or anywhere near the best support, and there area couple reasons  for that; 1. Mana, Lux support is mostly just a poke lane, and she CAN lay down the harass, and consistently too, but shes runs out of mana VERY quickly if you keep harassing. And the of course you have to be hitting it. You can't rush a chalice if you're rushing talisman. 2. Her Kit. I know her kit looks reallly built for supporting,  but trst me its not as good as you think it is. Her passive is straight damage, and the VAST majority of the time you wil get caught out by the enemy support trying to proc it ( not worth). Her damaging abilities/cc. Her q is on a pretty long cooldown with no cdr, and its still decent with some. Add to that the fact that its her go to for self peel, meaning that pre-6, before she gets her burst missing her q means that she cant peel for herself or her adc, I mean yah she does her lucent singularity, but again, its on a long cooldown and its pretty easy to avoid the slow field. Her sheild may sometimes be enough, but considering that she wont have ap or even more than 1 level in it for a while, dont count on it. 3. the damage is lacking, yah lux has good base damage, most of the time the only thing you can hit consistently is lucent singualrity (unless the enemy lane just isnt paying attention) and that doesn't even do much, now over time, lux support can very well put the enemy lane in an unfavorable position for engagements, and her ult can secure kills/ force early back. But she just gets countered SO hard by all in supports, because lux can't al l in immediatly, she can poke, thats it. 4. Its lux. lux is a sieging/poking champion. As a result she has very long range abiliites but she dies when she get caught out. And it is VERY easy for lux to get caught out. Should the enemy lane get aggressive and counter initiate, its very likely that either she and/or her adc will die. Lux needs to be peeled for, not to peel.

Now I'm not saying that shes a horrible support or anything. Lux can be a very very good support for solidifying lane dominance. If you're adc can prevent counter aggression (caitlyn is good at this) then having a lux support basically means free kills. This also works if the enemy adc doesnt have much lane prescence ( kog maw). However in the case that YOUR adc is kog maw, any aggression on your oppenent's part will likely lead to both of your deaths.
