I feel like Lissandra has too many weaknesses for her lock down strength....

I was excited about her new passive. So I began mastering her even before the passive went live for the last 2-3 weeks. Overall, I feel like her lockdown is great, but she so many weaknesses for it that its not worth it.

Many times I've outplayed champs like Zed and Yas in lane, but I simply don't have the damage to get the kill. Her Q seems to tickle opponents while have very low range. Her mana runs out pretty fast if you are not careful and her passive while cool is so unreliable and buggy. Sometime the passive activates even after she dies and other times it does not. Her E is very slow and even indicates where its going to land like my opponent can't see the giant hand animation creeping there way.

I even weave auto attacks to help with her damage in lane but its just not enough.

I've played many mages from and I have to say, she is one of the worst I've played.

She has a terrible early game and subpar late game because she build less AP and more health than most mages.

Other than her lockdown/distraction selfcast, this mage has no real strengths and is highly reliant on her team.

IDK, she just may not be my cup of tea.
