Reminder that if mana regen wasn't so shit for every other mage out there except Xerath and Lissandra, she would be called "mediocre".

mana regen needed nerfs so we should just nerf Liss instead

we can also ignore the Q buff if you'd like, that's fine

It needed nerfs before resourceless champions started infesting the game. It was a bit too late for that.

The Q buff was paired with a W nerf, which pretty much killed her DFG nuke potential back then and threw her down to utility mage status again.

You can also blame MR itemisation being pure and utter shit.

She can fit an extra Q during her ult, though.

Once at the start, then once at the end.

She could always do that if you timed things properly to be fair.

The cooldown change was only 1 second down.

A big offender in that department is also the introduction of 80 AP Morello's. There's only so few occasions where I felt that rushing my 40% CDR wouldn't be worth skipping RoA altogether.

In fact, there's times where I can skip Void Staff as well entirely nowadays with Lissandra.

MR itemization needs some serious looking into. Lissandra has some problems when she has a front line to keep her away from her priority targets with her low range skills (R has smaller range than her auto attack).

When I can just nuke the frontline and control the fight anyway, the problem isn't really Lissandra. It's the excessive and repeated nerfs to the front-liner's strength.

Cowl also needs some HUGE buggs to the regen passive, because it's nowhere near the old one. It was one of the most efficient ways to lane with Lissandra early, due to her low base damages early.

Generally, the hp/mana regen changes were awful and pure crap. They are responsible for most of this mess like Lissandra becoming a top tier mage and Zed becoming a top tier everything.

...which might be a reason why she has a nerf scheduled on the PBE.

Lissandra Ice Shard (Q) damage lowered to 70/100/130/160/190 from 75/110/145/180/215

According to current PBE changes set for 5.5

Patch 4.19 Ryze Overload (Q) damage lowered to 40/60/80/100/120 from 60/85/110/135/160

Shouldn't Liss be receiving the heavy damage punishment as Ryze does? She gets to cast an AOE Q for free, for crying out loud, plus a slow....

Who even cares about Zed anymore?

Liss goes top anyways.

could you NOT point this kind of stuff out... how else is she going to become queen if people keep pushing her in the lime light and exposing her?
