Starting boots is a great tip when fighting Lux.

Her skills are indeed on the somewhat slow side so boots help a ton. They also help you fight her poke with the extra health potions.

Two champions I really recommend using vs Lux are Karma and Kassadin. Karma has very strong lane pushing powers early with low costs, and a shield which grants movespeed which is a huge benefit vs an all-skillshot kit.

Kassadin has a fairly moderate skill curve to his kit but once you understand him he works really well vs lux. He can ignore unit collision which is great for scewing with her Q and he's fairly tolerant to poke. Maxing E also lets him counter-harass and push the wave back when needed. Like I said before though he does have quite the skill curve needed to understand his kit. He's a champion that feels like he does no damage until you understand his playstyle and then suddenly he does so much damage.

Both champions also work really well with building Rod of Ages into Athene's. It's a more bruiser styled build that gives tankiness early while relying on base damage, then gives nice CDR later in the game when you need more spells.
