Thoughts on Lissandra?

RosalieRampage·Nov 6, 2016·3 votes·859 views

Hey, so I main Lissandra and was just wondering how others see her? A threat or nah? I love playing her, but I do think she's just a bit too slow and I've been trying to find other champions to become more versatile position-wise in game, although I always seem to land back to her. I think it's mostly a comfort thing, but I'd rather break out of the habit and learn new champs but don't really know where to go from here. Lissandra doesn't seem very popular, and doesn't have a lot going on recently - almost like she's been forgotten? I don't think I've seen anyone else play her other than myself, but I did see her be used during Worlds which was pretty cool. Just basically wanting to know any tips and thoughts. Thanks!

I absolutely love her utility and CC, but yeah she does seem a bit slow and her damage is almost always disappointing unless she gets fed in my opinion. Her ultimate tho is just so disruptive, definitely my favorite part of her kit. If you enjoy playing her tho I say don't give up on her! She can definitely carry in her own way if you land a juicy W or Ult! I wouldn't see playing her as a 'bad habit' but rather more as a niche pick.

I find her fun and unique but look at her as a tanky pokemage rather than a bursty champ. She's obnoxious in teamfights and very good at harassing. In my opinion swain might be a good fit if you like lissandra.

Honestly, I only play Lissandra in bot games. She is a lot of fun to play, but she doesn't do really any damage in PvP. I do wish something could be done about that. I tried playing support (the only lane where you don't have to do damage lol) and my adc got really mad because I couldn't heal or shield, and I had to get really close to slow or stun. So, in short, I think she deserves more attention, and possibly a damage buff?

Do you take TP summoner 12 with Lissandra? When I think of really good Lissandra plays, they often involve a teleport flank.

Also, the meta these days favors range or just chase down. Lissandra is pretty slow MS-wise, and quite short range with most of her abilities. In a meta where laning can be so crucial, that can be hard to play with. If you're looking for mobile playmakers, you should probably go towards assassins . Or in another way

It's not that Lissandra has fallen out of popularity, it is that she has reached a defined area. She balanced, has a decent skillcap, adds to the team, and is fun to play.
