Lux wins the early walk-up by simply out-ranging Alistar: her Q and E let her poke him and his ADC from a distance he can never close, and any step forward into W-Q range means eating a nuke. His mana pool can't sustain repeated failed engages, so he falls behind on health and pressure in the first two levels.
