AP in general scales off badly late game no matter what character you choose. The fact that Lux has a crapton of AOE in both a shield and attacks while retaining a lot of utility for teamfights (which is essentially what lategame is all about), she can carry pretty well. Just cause tournaments haven't shown it doesn't mean it's not possible, ever thought maybe those top players simply didn't enjoy playing Lux's style and wanted to exchange that utility for raw damage instead?

Some AP champs scales better late game because of higher damage or better utility.

Lux has AOE, brand, karthus and xerath has a lot more of them and larger damage.

Lux's utility during clashes is ok. Morgana's ulti is both great damage and great utility because of the stun. Plus a 3second binding that can make out of position characters pay. And a black shield that protects your carry from CC. Slowing offtanks is not good utility.

In tournaments, players choose the strongest champs, not the one's that have a fun playstyle.
