How do I beat the son of a gun, Lux?

She always beats my ass in lane, no matter how much I kite. I always lose. She E's me, then Q and bam I disappear. How do I deal with this annoying champion? I searched for answers, all I got is "just kite" which doesn't help at all.

I can tell you who I hate to lane vs when I play Lux. Yasuo Zed Talon Fizz Katarina Diana Leblanc Ziggs . Basically champions with stronger level 6s and more mobility to dodge her Qs. The melee units can build item 3155 to negate her burst. Ziggs can just simply out poke her better.

Play Ahri or LB. or a champ that outpushes her (keep Lux under her tower). Also possible you need to change up your laning/trade pattern.

Dodge her skillshots, bait out her E is the hardest part of that match up.

Well I don't know what champions you usually play, but kiting is not how I'd recommend fighting Lux. She -wants- you at a distance. As a Lux player myself, I've always had trouble with champions who can get up close to me, are faster than me or, worse, both at the same time. Champions with a lot of blinks or dashes - or basically anything that makes landing a skillshot hard - also tends to make me tear my hair out in frustration. lol Her E is very difficult to deal with, yes, but it costs a TON of mana, so if she's using it a lot in lane, she's gonna go OoM very quickly, especially in the early game. I saw someone say that early MR works well and they're very right; it takes a bit for Lux's damage to get to the point where she can actually one-shot you with her combo, so give her a rough time with some MR early. It's just 450g and it'll make the lane a bit safer for you.

What champions do you usually play? Some that give Lux a hard time (in my experience, at least) are; Yasuo (a good one), Fizz, LeBlanc, Ekko, Talon, Xerath, Vel'Koz. The last two can actually stay pretty safely outside of her range most of the time and can go in once she's used up her E. It's very hard for her to get close enough to use her Q without taking some kind of punishment in return, too, so landing her full Q-E-R combo takes some work. Long-range harass can really damper a Lux's day, as well as anyone who can get right up in her face and stay there.

Mate , she is pretty weak , Her Q is one of the easiest abilities to dodge , her Ult is dodged when her Q is dodged , she only hits E and Actually I can even dodge her E , if you can't dodge , buy Zhonia

I found item 3001 to be a great item if you play a lower range champion. It provides MR and Sustain, which make the laning phase much easier to handle. The bonus Damage can help you actually outscale your opponent once you get some AP.
