why not have Lissandra put allies in stasis?

So she can put her self in stasis, put enemies in stasis, and the previously thought absurd; putting allies in stasis, is now rekt by Bard

Lissandra doesn't put anyone in stasis. She shields herself inside ice so she becomes untargetable but her HP can still be affected (DoT). She encases the enemy in ice which does huge damage, and they're health can continue to be affected.

Stasis would mean everything stops. They stop losing/gaining hp. They do not receive damage or healing.

Yeah, I guess you could say that she, being an ice witch of sorts, is immune to the cold so her ult can't hurt her. However, other people are not magically immune to being frozen and it would hurt them (as her enemies) so you can't do it to allies.

"Let me protect you with my ICE!" ... "Oh no. My ally froze to death..."

EDIT

Ok, I pulled this from her info page:

FROZEN TOMB If cast on an enemy champion, the target is frozen solid, stunning it. If cast on Lissandra, she encases herself in dark ice, becoming untargetable and invulnerable. Dark ice then emanates from the target dealing magic damage to enemies and slowing Movement Speed.

Apparently it's different ice. If she casts it on an enemy, they take a butt-ton of damage and are stunned - so you can continue to attack them while they're frozen. But if Liss casts it on herself. it's BLACK ICE - which you slide on in your car - and this special ice makes her untargetable AND INVULNERABLE (which I think, mechanically, means she stops taking damage from all sources)....I guess DoTs will NOT continue to hurt her? That is kind of like a stasis...actually...
