Is Lissandra Support a Thing?

I'm asking because I had this thought last night. She seems like she'd function like Zyra or Malz, a kind of off-mage AP support. She has a lot of CC and survivability, but does she work? Has anyone here tried it yet?

I think her mana costs would be too high for the role.

I think her mana costs would be too high for the role.

Even with her passive and supp items? She's kinda like Ori and Anivia then, right?

The problem is that Riot offset her passive with really high mana costs. Orianna and Anivia are similar in that their mana costs are too high for them to be effective.

Anyone can be played as a support techincally. Its all in hlw you itemize, play, and work with others. Support play is a mind set. Utility supports are just simpler and more straight forward but not the only thing that can support.

I mean think about others like pantheon. He can have map pressure to protect towers, help jungler, and helps other lanes with ult. He can stun on demand and get a free targeted damage block. He gets free damage against low hp targets that can help him even if he builds tank. You can harass with spears to keep enemies without sustain lower. But if you try and build carry and not play with your team none of that will matter and you just end up working against your team and your lane partner.

I’m main Lissandra, and No. she’s not fun support like Zyra, Lux, Malza due to her lack of skill range for poking. She needs to bounce her Q to minions to get more range to poke the enemy that makes difficult for your adc to cs.

I tried it and it works, ult the carry and then w them, then exhaust, it's like 5 seconds of them being useless.

hey I'm a support main who dabbles in Karma Velkoz Malzahar . I'll add on to whats wrong with Lissandra as a support.

Pro's: ok poke W counters engage supports like Thresh and Leona . E is good for getting to position to W root for gank. R good for locking ADC down and stopping ganks long enough to save adc. Con's: HORRIBLE mana costs. passive not so good squishy (all mages)

Synergy's that come to mind: Lucian Locking down adc with R to keep Drive by on her longer Jhin Same reason as above but just with jhin's R KogMaw He hurts and locking a support with W and adc with R can only make them cry as they do nothing

overally if her changes in a few patches go through (meddler or some rioter stated buffs coming soon) she may be viable. Right now? she's probably Niche.

Notes: I've posted this on my non-support account my Support main account for reference is TUPACO

yes. she works if your goal is to support your ally by tanking damage with one of the resolve keystones or slowing your opponent with the cooldown reduction from the cunning tree. just make sure you get the expose weakness skill in the ferocity section.
