Lissandra's viability in the jungle
So I was looking over all the champions theorizing what champions could have some potential in the jungle. After searching I ended up setting my sights on Lissandra, and after testing it a little it's not viable in the current state but I believe there is so much potential brewing there. Her E allows her to produce ganks similar to that of Rek'Sai, and I know that this begs the question: "if she's like Rek'Sai why wouldn't I just play that?" Simple, Lissandra has a lot of CC within her kit and can lock down a target way harder than Rek'Sai ever could. As well as her ganks and formidable cc, her passive is very strong for teamfighting, counterganking, or contesting an objective if she or a teammate secure a kill. The only thing that keeps Lissandra from being even remotely viable is her early clear, her cooldowns are so unbelievably high early that she is incapable of having a healthy clear. While I see the reluctancy to lower her cooldowns because it could improve her strength in the mid lane, she's not seeing much play there either. I think it's very unfortunate that her Q is on 10-7 CD on it's first 3 levels, that is absurdly high for an ability such as that. There are plenty of champions with wave clear ability on far less CD than that. I think lowering her CDs to a degree that isn't to much would greatly benefit her not just in the mid lane but also her viability within the jungle.
and you can convert a decent amount of CDR from tank/off-tank and support items into AP. You can also bring font of life to open up the choice to build
if you like. I've started experimenting with it recently and am still getting better with it. Check out my match history.
