When you have to click on a champion to deliver an attack it all depends on what you are doing exactly. Who you did it too. And what you are building to make it matter. Its really easy to screw yourself as Ryze when you focus down on someone and you just don't have the power to kill them.

Skillshot is different but in some ways worse. You trade off the safety of being at a distance to your target by instead having to figure out the best way to hit them. When you use skillshots you have to be a good shot. Otherwise you will just waste mana missing lots of shots. All of Lux's skill shots are easy to dodge. Light binding can be easily messed up any and all targets.

And arguably it's the core spell in her kit. If you don't snare the target her other attacks have a better chance of missing.

Once you get good at skillshots the only thing that can get in your way is someone who is good at DODGING skillshots. Positioning is like everything. But it's really hard to do because not every champion has an easy way of getting away or controlling a lane. And that's probably why Lux is very popular and considered Overpowered.

People get good at making those skillshots land. But the opposing player has to play as someone that can let them easily dodge all those projectiles and stuff. It's just another thing to learn.
