Well watching someone at a ranked level vs watching or playing against scrubs...I think there is disparity there in terms of the use and playstyle of a player or champion. He plays her one way someone might play her differently.

I really like Lux and Orianna, hate them just as much. Too much range, too much CC, too easy mode to play. The point that I was trying to make about Lux is that she has support fucntionality. Maybe I should have clarified. Calling her a mage that just deals damage might give people the wrong impression too. It's like picking Nidalee and not getting her traps out ASAP. People won't understand the core functionality of Lux's shield or Orinanna's shield if we call them "nukes" or "mages" nor would they understand the versatility of those abilities. I'll retitle or just remove her in the "support" section. To me she is an untraditional support, which I think I mentioned in the section itself.

AP Support: champions who have a heal or a defensive capability that makes their role extend beyond a nuke. They are capable of working with multiple other champions in lane to secure kills or support their lane partner in other ways. Additonally they can support their whole team late game with heals or buffs. Some of these champs include Lux , Sona Soraka , and Taric

Just thought I'd bring up the actual blurb I made about the "AP Support" champs...I should have brought it up earlier, because to me that seems to support both of our claims...I say she has a role that extends beyond a nuke....Haha @_@ This would have been nice about 5 posts earlier.

but still

they are both nukes

and no they aren't easy wtf

they are actually both pretty difficult champs to do well with

they are AP carries with support traits, they SHOULD NOT be stuck with actual supports, since as I just said, people might confuse them and end up playing Orianna or Lux bot with an AD carry T_T

Well I never seem to have trouble with them :P makes them easy to me XD. Meh not many people are taking notice of this thread, but I'll edit it so "people dont get confused" The key to that previous quote is the "EXTEND BEYOND NUKES" part.

You're welcome. I'm glad it helped you out. I'm probably going to turn this into a guide. Just have to think up a champ list for both sides @_@. Glad the revision did what it was supposed to :)

Can anyone help me please? I wanna know exactly what Archaic Knowledge do. It says that your magic spells get 15% magic penetration, but what are exactly considered magic spells, like, every spell from every champ is a magic spell? for example Master Yi's "q". Ty for the help.

Every spell is magic damage unless stated otherwise (it will say if it is physical or applies on-hit).
