@Riot: Get rid of the delay on Lissandra's ult

Why is it there at all, it holds her back so much. Its so stupid that a Zed can turret dive me, I ult him, AND THEN LITERALLY HEAR LISSANDRA SAY "Entomb", and Zed kill me before her ult actually goes off. Lissandra's ult has a 0.4 second delay which makes no sense, its a non-channeled targeted ability that doesn't travel at all, why does it have a delay?

If Zed is killing you as Lissandra then you are just doing it wrong.

Also never ult anyone except yourself under tower. True, the stun would be more beneficial but if you get a Ring of Frost before selfcasting Frozen Tomb, then the tower will still chunk whichever idiot just tried to dive a Lissandra. Oh, and selfcast heal you.

or Ring into ulting them for a confermed kill unless you are about to die.

Ring of Frost is just a root, and its range isn't very far, any assassin caught in it would likely still be in melee range and capable of using their abilities. Also Ring of Frost has a very punishable cooldown, and someone like Zed can make multiple dives in a short amount of time. I only used Zed as an example in my post, it could be any assassin.

I believe Lissandra has the tools to deal with a Zed, which is why I continued with him as an example. Not sure about that many assassins as I usually take her top.

I just meant in general diving a Lissindra with her ult up is just a bad idea. The only champion I have an issue regarding the delay on her ult is Fizz McTrollPole. Because the delay means he can get a Trickster up and send your ult on CD.

For most champs diving her is just plain suicidal, but not for a lot of assassins. If she gets dived on when she has full health then 0.4 seconds doesn't seems like a big deal, but when a low health assassin dives a low health Liss then its crippling. For some common assassins this is how it goes, FIzz dives then trolls polls before the ult activates, Zed dives and trades places with his shadow before it activates, Leblanc dives and Liss's ult might as well have a 3 second channel, Yi dives and his Q make him untargetable before it activates thus canceling her ult, Kat dives and ward hops out before it activates. My point is with proper timing its a huge weakness for her against assassins, who she's supposed to be strongest against in mid lane.
