Compared to many other midlanes she's really safe with her ranges, shields and snares. She can fish enemy champs almost without a fear of retaliation with her Q, and once that hits there's no avoiding the rest of her combo.

Low skillcap (at least to me) means that there's no need to think how you cast your skills or that there's not many ways one skill can function. Besides trying to hit your stuff (I mean almost every mid laner is a skillshot based), Lux only has to think about how to get the most of her shield. Fizz at least needs to think his engage (and disengage, if things get hairy) and which one, Q or E, to use for it.

Xerath on the other hand, who's much more like Lux, has an additional layer of decision making in many of his skills.

Can he hit Q within the sight of the enemy or does he need to go in to the fog because of the windup; Circling around the creep wave to hit stun, Lux can just try to hit her snare though it; His W is just plain harder to his because of the indicator it gives, and Lux's E is just plain bigger area; And finally Xerath needs to get in a good spot to fire his whole ult, whereas Lux can just fire and forget hers, and can't even be stunned out of it during the animation.
