How to beat Lux as Lulu: the early game

Lux out-ranges and out-pokes you at 1-2: her Q-E combo punishes any step-up and threatens a catch. Play back, Whimsy to dodge her Q, and pre-shield your ADC. Concede lane priority rather than eating a snare with no escape. Her rotation punishes every step-up and threatens a catch, so hold position and shield the chip instead. Keep your carry off her line. Hold the polymorph for the moment her root lands rather than before it, and push the wave while she is waiting for it to return.
