From my point of view and extensive exclusive playing of burst mages, is a utility mage. She specializes in locking down several targets and disabling enemies' escapes with her insane mobility and gank potential. She can burst down 1 target at a time, but her main strength is setting up kills for her teammates and immobilizing key targets in teamfights. , while also a utility mage, has far less abilities and tankiness for ganking, making her more of a back-line spam champion rather than an all-in mage. What makes her, though, is her incredible AoE burst and long range poke and snipe- you poke a champion then fire your laser to kill said champion at an insane range even before a fight starts- tipping the tides into your favour. And while she does have that that Lissandra lacks, she is pretty much useless after she lays down her full combo in fights, mostly because of her long cooldowns. Lissandra has the and can tank a bit of damage before going down, whereas Lux will usually be the only survivor of a teamfight should her team lose. Lux also grants vision with 2 of her spells, making her one of the safest champions to play and amon the most frustrating to play against. Both champions have lock-down abilities, allowing them to land their full combos rather easily.

TL;DR, Lux excells at poking the enemy at long range, supporting her teamates with her shield and scouting, and sniping down tagets to secure kills. Lissandra excells at setting up kills, locking down key targets, and dealing near-constant damage in teamfights with her spam. Both are hard to catch and have decent CC.

TLL;DR, You can't compare these two, because they excell at different things.
