Because those players are trolling idiots. Mejaj's is most likely to blow up in your face on a super-squishy mage like Lux. Lichbane is stupid as an early game item. Sheen? Fine. It's cheap, and provides Lux with stuff she can exploit. It sits in the back and supplements your skillset until you're ready to upgrade it after getting all your other items.

Lichbane? Way too expensive, and weak without other AP items.

In theory, this works fine. You get tons of AP from Mejaj's ganks, and snowball. But the problem is in practice: *one gank* ruins your strategy. If you can't recover from that quickly enough (either through killsteals or teamfight ganks), you stagnate.

And as a Mage, Lux does not scale well into end-game (level 16+ and items).
