Can Lissandra's Q not cost 85 mana at level 1?

Lissandra has remained in obscurity since patch 6.23 last summer. Her insane mana costs on her core ability combined with her overall short range doesn't allow her to compete with the rest of the toplane cast, and even then she was quickly getting overshadowed by Kennen and Gnar who were able to harass much better in lane and carry much harder later on. In spite of meta shifts, she hasn't re-emerged. Are there any plans to look into the Ice Witch sometimes in the future?

mana management is part of the skill behind lissandra, if they nerf her Q mana cost she is just going to dominate melee lanes effortlessly until she is nerfed again. her Q has a short cooldown, a decent slow bound to it, and it doubles as harass/waveclear, it has to be gated by something

No thanks don't want her being spammed top lane until she has counterplay for melees

I prefer to have her Passive more powerful in the Late Game than to buff her Early Game.
