Is lux still a viable support?

I've been a way from league for a while so I was just wondering about this.

She never was. You wanna play mage support? Your options are Nami and Morgana. Even better, Braum and Thresh are unparalleled, except by each other.

Why pick lux instead of morgana or zyra?

reasons:

  1. Her snare can still hit you through minions or it can snare both support and ADC
  2. Her E: AOE slow, then can be popped to do some more damage + add a passive to pop for more damage. It also grants vision (so it could be used to give vision in bushes in fight, scouting to see if any enemies are waiting in that bush, etc.)
  3. her shield: shields from any damage source, can be applied twice effectively preventing almost all damage from a trade.
  4. her ult can be used to secure kills, or provide a good amount of burst
  5. she transforms just as well as morgana and zyra as a late game semi apc.

Only reason why Morgana and Zyra work is their utility.

Lux falls short

Did you not read it? Lux has plenty of Utility. She also does more damage than Zyra/Morgana generally.

Yeah... The biggest aoe knockup in the game, slow and a snare Zyra

5 seconds of hard cc and approx 4 sec slow plus spell shield Morgana

vs

2ish sec snare and a slow with a tiny area and a shield Lux

Morgana and Zyra sure are shitting their pants.

Also did you not listen? Only reason why mage supports work is because of their utility

Not sure what they are talking about, but Lux is still a good support.

Edit: And I'm saying that as someone that hates any kind of mage going bot support.

Oh yea definitely, I wouldn't recommend her for a passive lane but if your looking for an aggressive lane I would recommend her
