Who Wins

Pre-6, you and Lux win the 2v2 — your range advantage over Ezreal is significant, and Lux E into your headshot is a reliable kill pattern that Soraka cannot fully sustain through because her W costs health and has a cooldown.
Post-6, you continue to win because your combined burst with Lux R can kill Ezreal before Soraka's R heals land, especially if Lux lands E first.

Your best trading pattern is to place a trap in the brush or under Ezreal's feet during a Lux E, then auto for the headshot — this forces Soraka to W, which costs her health and mana, and repeated cycles drain her sustain entirely.
After Soraka is low on mana or health, you can play aggressively for a kill because the lane's sustain engine is gone.

Push the wave with Lux to deny Soraka's safe Q-on-minion healing, then set traps at the wave boundary to punish Ezreal's farming.
A shoved wave also gives you and Lux roam priority, which is valuable since Soraka's global R can counter-roam but Ezreal alone cannot hold the wave safely.

Do not waste E traps randomly in lane — place them deliberately at chokepoints or during Lux E combos to guarantee headshot procs.
Randomly placed traps that Ezreal avoids are wasted pressure and give him free information about your positioning intentions.
