Overall, Lux sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Gangplank. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN.

This clearly indicates that there is a bad bond between Lux and Gangplank that allows them to perform not as well together than without each other.
Gangplank has a much greater difficulty compared to Lux. That means you should be careful when lining up Gangplank teammates to play with, as they will require a much higher level of skill to be able to fight well with you.
Working cooperatively, Lux players will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magical damage. When paired, these two can blast through enemies with magic damage.
Conversely, by aligning Lux and Gangplank together, you will not be granting your other allies a great deal of anti-tank damage dealing potential. We recommend you have other champs on your team that offsets this relative disparity in their kit.
Regardless of your Gangplank ally's ability, you should focus on increasing your income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well, regardless.
