How to beat Lucian as Miss Fortune: the early game

Levels 1-2 Lucian already out-trades you: his Lightslinger passive turns every ability into a double hit and his Q pokes you through the minion line while your kit has no dash to answer, so give ground and focus on last-hitting. His window is short and violent, so give ground and poke rather than trading in place. Bounce Double Up off the wave for chip you do not have to walk for. Keep Make It Rain for his dash, because a slowed Lucian who has already committed cannot finish the exchange he started.
