During laning, while the range of her spells are really long, her AA range is pretty short. Procing her passive will put her in her opponent's spell range.

Her E, which is is bread and butter move, is not a reliable farming spell because of low damage. You wont be oneshoting even the ranged minions during the laning phase. At full HP, you need 2 E's to kill them, or AA them (which leads to problem number 1).

Low damage of E, plus it being a skillshot, and being quite mana intensive, means her poking isn't top tier. You can deal sick damage if you hit with Q and E, then proc both passives, but you'll most likely eat your lane opponent's spells too. This is a pretty bad deal for her when laning against certain champs like LB and Kass.

Teams want their AP solo mid lane to be rock solid, and not be reliant on "lucky" skillshots. And teams want their AP solo to be able to handle most of the situations. Lux is ok for us non-pro gamers. But in the professional scene, (like the recent kiev), lux will probably not be used. Too many popular solo mid picks counter her easily.
