How to beat Lux as Morgana: the early game

Lux out-ranges and out-pokes you 1-4: her Q roots at 1175 range and her E zones the wave while your Q is shorter and on a long cooldown. Walk up and you eat a Q-root into E-auto trade you can't answer. Farm safely, hold Black Shield specifically for her Light Binding, and let her burn mana poking the wave rather than you. Her reach beats yours and her root sets up more damage than your zone, so hold position and let your carry farm. Pool your own ground, keep the shield for her root rather than the chip, and hunt the binding only in the window after hers has already been spent.
