Lux's late game is very item dependent. Without a lot of AP and MPEN her abiities don't do much damage (you can pretty much ignore her ult if you have resistance and hp), and she also needs the blue buff or mana regen to really utilize her poke.

In the ealy game in order to max her damage she has to get into AA range to use her passive. That dosn't work well against Oriana as Lux's AA is outranged by the ball. In that case Lux might need to play it safe and just farm and poke with Q and E, as she can lose close range trades. However that keeps her from effectively farming for a few levels if she is just zoned out. A few good ranged pokes might back Ori off enough for her to farm with her E/AA combo.
