QoL for Lissandra

{quoted}

Which brings us to our second point, please show some love for lissandra and give her a more meaningful passive. Her theme also feels out of place, she's a semi tanky CC bot who's kit feels a bit underwhelming.

Repertoir answered this question somewhere (i saw it on the Surr at 20 yesterday) but it looks like that attempts to make Liss a better passive are still not in a place where Riot wants it to be and the projection for her chances was supposed to be in 8.8. That's unlikely to happen, as far as i've gathered.

I play a lot of Liss and it's really painful how her damage is low. Her E also has bugs that need to be addressed, where some champs that dash/blink can still get out of the root and take damage, effectively making her E useless if you need to be that close to them and be open for getting attacked before you even have a chance to combo. Fizz and Zed, in my cases managed to do this and they don't share the same untargetable E/W blink mechanics. Even encountered a Kayn problem when he's getting out of his ult because his description doesn't state that he's untargetable upon exiting the target champion. But his HP bar does fade to background, denoting he is.

Not to mention that her ult damage is low and since it can be cleansed (it's just a stun), QSS (or Cleanse/Tenacity) can ruin her comboing entirely, which leaves her to play as if she can't even kill her opponent, just clear waves and survive until teamfights start happening.

She could at least get some love in terms of damage/lower mana costs/QoL changes before her eventual passive replacement because Liss does feel bad to play in many occasions. New AP items don't really do her justice either because you have to go for mana options or else you're spending mana like Lux, without her long range. You don't even have kill potential with a full combo and at the range that leaves you in relative to targets that can attack you, you are required to have a Zhonya's, R or E ready to get out.

In the lore she's supposed to be a malevolent Ice witch who betrayed the frozen watchers, but her kit doesn't really show it.

That's not true. Lissandra didn't betray the Watchers, she very much enjoyed their gifts (of great magic) in exchange for the her loyalty and the loyalty of her people. Two other sisters Serylda and Avarosa went against the Watchers and Lissandra led an army against them. Ultimately, she lost and the Watchers were driven away ,howling in the abyss (the name of the ARAM map - the Howling Abyss). She then played the long con, killed her sisters and shapeshifted into their appearance/children and slowly started rewriting history of the Watchers throughout the years of Freljord. She had a lot of time on her hands to make sure the Watchers were erased from history and forgotten so that she could find a way to bring them back.

since it's such an oddly shaped projectile, I'd really like to see an indicator on the ground like jinx W or Zac Q as well, but hide it for enemies

it could have an indicator just like graves r

By fanatic one-trick ponies like myself.

Why not give her Q bonus damage on targets rooted with W or stunned with R? Like a shatter combo? Just an idea I had.

that seems/ feels like just free damage to me, especially with how her kit and combo works.
