Trying to get better with Lissandra, but I can't seem to get the hang of her. Almost every game with her I've lost lane and I'm really trying to not get discouraged but I always seem to get rekt. Anyone have any tips?
DDasani1 votesThe thing about Lissandra is this: Choose Q over E or W. Then at level 2 choose E, then start clearing waves. Lissandra isn't llike Karthus where you spam Q all day (cheap, broken af ability) Lissandra is good at CC, not getting ganked and such. I play passive til about level 5, then I look for my enemy laner to goof up then I exploit that. What I usually do is: E, reactivate to dash, W to snare then Q. At that point my enemy laner is nearly dead, then all I have to do is Q again and that's it. Pick Doran's rind and pots, move to lane and then farm (when you spawn in). Now I will say this: I ma by no means an expert on Lissandra, but she's my main for now because I find her easy to play, tanky and she's got a lot of CC to use too.
Lucian Waifu1 votesLissandra is best at ccing one enemy to death or interfering with an enemy team's ability to team fight with her cc. As such you should play her like that. In lane between 1-4, be more passive and only use your abilities to harass, but be careful not to spam them or you will push your wave and become more vulnerable to ganks. Then at level 6, if you have the enemy laner down to around 60% hp, try to all-in them to get up in a kill. If you can't do this because they are playing too passively or are ahead of you through a kill or something like that, then play more passive and farm because Lissandra is very good at farming and wait for a gank because your cc should guarantee a kill. In team fights you should be either: peeling for your adc, ccing their most dangerous threat to death, and/or getting into the middle of their team and getting a 5 man ult to damage and disrupt their entire team.
Additionally, I like to ult myself in team fights because that usually means a lot of missed skill shots the enemy team wastes on me, so I key bound her ult to self cast on my 8 because my thumb is always over it. I would recommend you doing that so you can always reliability self cast your ult in team fights instead of accidentally ulting an enemy that's near you.
