@Rioters

What is your intended goal with ?

I see a fragile control mage with good disengage and a fair bit of CC, but no clear end-goal beyond all-in and hope I don't die as a play-style strategy for Lissandra players. Is she supposed to be tanky, taking Aftershock and / / -type items, or is she intended to play as a burst mage? She doesn't have the AP scalings to be a proper burst mage, but she also lacks the sustain to be a proper tank of any sort. (Unless you consider Dive > Self-ult > Zhonya's a form of self-sustain... I guess you could consider chained stasis a form of sustain?)

Basically, what do you want from her? Nerfing her damage repeatedly seems like the endgoal is towards tankiness, but not giving her any form of self-sustain in placement of her damage also seems like even Rioters have no idea what to do with her.

Honestly she struggles with damage and mana. Now theyr ganna take any form of defence away from her short ranged Q that already doesnt do enough damage, because now we cant use it in lane enough like we used to. Its annoying how she became relevent for a few weeks but that was going over board apparently and all these nerfs to her damage, mana, and cd are being added, when its clear that aftershock has always been the problem.

I want to play her as a burst mage like I always do. I wish that when aftershock gets nerfed they will revert her Q cooldowns and give back some damage, and maybe revert the mana cost on the q.

They want her to become one with the Watchers. Frozen, dead, or useless.

All I hope for Lissandra is that she will instantly get buffed back when Aftershock will be nerfed.

(currently, Liss has a nerf on PBE : Ice Shard (Q) cooldown increased from 6/5.25/4.5/3.75/3 to 10/8.5/7/5.5/4 )

I don't know why they want to nerf her, knowing that they'll modify aftershock in the very next patch anyway. Lissandra, while being too strong, isn't too overbearing cause she has a relatively low pickrate (around 5%)

Lissandra is a champion only because of Aftershock atm, and she is being fully balanced around this rune. much diversity

Lissandra was originally a control mage, with decent power. Her value comes in baiting and zoning opponents until she can get within a burst window. Then it's Q + E + W + Q + R . Before the passive rework she had okay power and CC. Now she has very little power, and is very easily bullied out of lane by any champ with sustain damage, greater range, and strong poke. IMO, her passive needs to be changed to shift the power back into her actual kit. She shouldn't be making frozen thralls when she is dead. The thralls do tons of damage, but if you always die first what is the point of a uncontrollable passive that hardly ever helps out? Lissandra is so f-ing lost right now, even with the gimmicky Aftershock playstyle.
