I've never once thought that there exists one single champion that is the best for any given role, and that is not what I meant by my post either. I simply meant that since she doesn't have as much utility in her kit as some other support champions, she's going to have to bring something else to the table to be "equally" viable. And while utility is very hard or even impossible to measure perfectly, it's still quite clear that Lux doesn't have as much of it as a Lulu or Janna. And that is just how it should be, because Lux is balanced around being a damage dealer, which is why I'm arguing that you need to be able to use this even if you're playing her as a support.

I would say that because the original poster Komogee stated that he had started "building AP instead of SUPPORT" that meant that his other build wasn't including much/ or even any AP (but I suppose this can be interpreted in different ways). This could include items such as Redemption, Locket of the Iron Solari, Eye of the Oasis and Mikael's Crucible, which are all perfectly viable items on some support champions. Since FeatherPaw disagreed with me on this part I would assume they also shared the mindset of a no-AP support Lux. This is also strengthened by their comment "A two person root that is completely independant from AP", which indicates that they are currently thinking of a no-AP build (but clearly this is also something that can be interpreted in different ways). And in some cases they work and would be considered a good purchase, but just like your example with a support Yasuo, it's not something that should be done every game.

And, although this is too late now, I wouldn't spend to much time analyzing and breaking down my first post. It was a short answer to (from what I can understand) a new player that was meant to reassure them of their new choice of items. It was not created for an indepth discussion about support utility, even though that is clearly what this has spiraled into.
