[GAMEPLAY] Unfortunate interaction between Lissandra and Rod of Ages

Many things in the game use the mechanic of refunding many after cast, such as tear items and now manaflow band and presence of mind. This prevents anti synergy with things that are based on spent mana, like Rod of Ages' passive. Lissandra's passive doesn't refund mana, just makes the ability not cost any, meaning that whenever she uses a passive empowered ability she won't gain any health back from Rod of Ages. Rod of Ages is a fairly common item on her, and this has a noticable impact in sustaining health. Changing her passive to refund the mana cost should be fairly simple, and would fix this annoying anti synergy.

One of the unique things about Liss's passive(if not the only one tbh) is that it allows you to cast your spells even if you don't have the mana. If you change it to be like MFB keystone then you will gonna have to wait until you get back mana for those atrocious mana costs...especially early game. Let alone talk about that now it will be an exactly cheap copy of MFB with few differences.

I also don't think extra 15-20 hp every 18-9 sec will be that much useful anyway. People mostly take it on her for the stats and hp.
