Who Wins

Pre-6, you win the poke war clearly due to your 650 range advantage over both Lux and Miss Fortune — consistently auto-attack them when they step up to CS and place W traps in the brush to deny Pyke's roam angles and punish Lux's Q walk-ups.
Post-6, you maintain the range advantage but Lux's R is a long-range execute threat and Miss Fortune's R can shred you if Lux lands a root, so you must respect their all-in potential and not overcommit to trades.

Your best pattern is to poke with autos from max range, place W traps at the edge of Lux's Q range to punish her walk-ups, and use E to reposition away from any rooted state — if Lux lands Q on you, immediately E backward to reduce the follow-up damage window.
Avoid standing still to headshot when Lux has Q available; the headshot is not worth eating a full Q+E+auto combo.

Maintain a slow push or slight freeze near your side of the lane to force Lux and Miss Fortune to walk up into your range and Pyke's hook angles — do not hard shove the wave because that removes Pyke's hook setup in the brush and gives the enemy lane a free reset.
Use your W traps proactively in river and tri-brush to track Pyke's positioning and deny Lux roam follow-ups.

Do not stand in a straight line with your support when Lux has Q up — her Q passes through targets and can root both of you simultaneously, which is the primary setup for a Miss Fortune R that will likely kill one of you.
Constant lateral movement and positioning offset from Pyke is mandatory in this matchup.
