I like to play Lux support, but....

Lux support isn't scored as such; she's only counted as a mage. So, I end up with a lower score than I would have gotten had I played, for example, Leona support. Vision score and assists aren't counted for as much for a midlaner than for a support. Is there any chance Riot could implement Lux selections being scored as supports for someone who queued as support? I know it might cause issues for someone who got support but switched to mid, but the chances of that are far lower than those of someone playing Lux as an actual support.

For example, in my last game I played, I dealt more damage than anyone on the enemy team except their ADC, went 5/6/20 (the next highest number of assists was 16), and had a vision score of over twice that of anyone on the enemy team, but I only had 46 CS, so I ended up getting scored fairly low. I don't want to steal kills or CS, but I would like to reach mastery 7 on her (currently mastery 6 with 2 tokens), and I can't see that happening any time soon if I continue to play her as support.

To summarize: Is there any way Riot could implement Lux support for those who queue as support, so we get scored correctly?

5/6/20 isn't S rank for a lot of supports so I don't see an issue here.

It happens champion to champion and the problem is that grading them differently means you basically have two separate Lux grades then, and the whole point of the grading system was 'whoa, they're good at this champ.'

Unfortunately, and I don't mean to criticize, negative KDA of any kinda pretty much exempts from even an S- on all but the unpickliest of juggs. You can run 30 assists instead of 20 and at 5/6, you're not likely to make more than an A-.

The real answer is to play her harder as a support. 2/2/20 would probably look better. You have to consider that it's a comparison of sorts. Lux performance, because she's played lots and isn't exactly difficult in concept, not to mention being insanely safe and stocked with utility (cc and shield), is going to be stacked up against a lot of comparison. You're not going to make an S unless you're destroying those charts.

Support probably just isn't the way for her to do that.
