Sooooooo.... Will this guide get a makeover with the items rework next season? I would love that but just imagining how much work that would be makes me keep my hopes in check ^^'

Oh mama, what a guide! I am glad there are dedicated mains that teach the ways of less popular champs. But is there any room for some Aftershock shenanigans? It worked quite well for me as for now and I am curious whether you would consider it a good keystone.

I just decided to main this champ so this guide was extremely helpful :D

So I wanted to quickly ask you on your opinion about Future's Market Lost Chapter rush tech. I have seen quite a lot of control mages go for it in slower and less dangerous matchups in order to win the war of attrition and generate big lead. In case you aren't familiar with it, in short you start the game with Sapphire Crystal, Future's Market and Teleport. You carefully clear first five minion waves and then you recall >>> teleport/walk back to lane with Lost Chapter finished. Which in theory should allow you to deny CS from your opponent, force awkward recalls and eventually result in you being super ahead. So my question is, could it be applicable to Lissandra in certain farming matchups?

Hey I loved your guide, it really got me into OTPing(?) Lissandra when I started playing LOL in season 10 and I noticed it says that the guide itself has been archived, so my question is what happened? ;-;

Hi, and thanks for the Lissandra guide. I wanna only say one thing: when you see some videos, like freezing lane and others, you can see they are bugged(?)
But I have to say that this guide is one of the best i've ever read on this site, and, for me, the best one for Lissandra

Great guide! I'm a lol elo(Bronze 1) and I want too much learn how use Lissandra and your guide is helping me, but I don't know what are the worst champions to she, to who I try ban

Amazing!

Great guide, i learned a lot about lissandra , you are indeed the goddes of Tables the guide is really beautifull, and i have learned a lot from your table guide!

I really love your dedication towards Lissandra and this guide! Really detailed and filled with knowleage up to the top!
I do not play her myself but you make me want to do so :(

Hello there Katasandra, here is the review you (I forced on you, jk) asked for. :)

---

When it comes to runes in your cheatsheet you only explain what they are good for on Lissandra, yet as for me, I don't know which one to pick. If Electrocute is the standard one, and the one that you use most of the time, then why should I even consider going the Aftershock page then? For example idk, Electro could be good against squishy snowballing matchups and aftershock could be useful against harder matchups where you need to survive, stuff like that, to let the reader know what runes to choose. Instead of just having "aftershock is really good, electrocute is really good I prefer electro more", you get my idea.

Same goes for the summoner spells here, if Ignite is the most standard one (or the one you'll see first when you look at the guide), i'm mostly going to pick that one. Why should I pick Teleport if I can just pick Ignite instead? In what matchups can TP even be good to favor Lissandra?

As for items mostly consumables, when should I pick up health pots and when to go for refillable, ahead? behind? another reason? :o You say that the Luden rush build is good against tanky enemies, what about the protobelt build then? When should I decide to go for this build path, squishier enemies or harder/easier enemies? Why should I decide to go for protobelt rush and that build path if I could just go for the Luden's Echo one instead.

Abilities

I feel like the “Tooltip information and numbers” spoilers aren’t really necessary as it just replicates what is already shown if you look at the bbcoding of for example the “Ring of Frost” spell when you talk about it. If I or a new player wanted to know what that ability does, most people are most likely going to look at the bbcoding then to even notice that the spoiler is there.

If you could come up with another “Tips/Facts” for the passive section that’d be nice as only having 3 of them is bringing me nuts as I usually like when it’s symmetrical like your other ones. :P You did a much better job with this on your Q and E sections as they are symmetrical, only with a much bigger one at the end, but I like that. If you could come up with ones for the R and W ones so that it’ll look like the Q one for example, I think that’s going to be a bit more visually nice in my opinion.


Skill Sequence

In this section on your reasoning for “level 1-3” you say that you should take Ring of Frost at level 2, but that’s it. Why? explain a bit more about why we should take just that ability at level 2 and why not just go for E instead as you did mention that it’s an option for level 2. I think new readers will seek to know this knowledge as otherwise they won’t know any sort of reason as to why I or them should level that ability otherwise.


Summoner Spells

As for here, I’m unsure if the “Defensive summoner spells” section is even necessary in the first place. You mention that there aren’t any real scenarios for taking Barrier or Heal because of Glacial Path and Frozen Tomb so I don’t really get why they should be mentioned in the first place. As for the Cleanse part you mention there, i’d suggest just taking it out and putting it underneath Teleport with it’s on description.

If it becomes to weird you can just keep the “Defensive Summoner Spells” but only have Cleanse there and just make it look like the ones above like Teleport for example as I think it’d look much better like that.

If it’s possible you can also try and put cleanse into the slots that you have at the top there if you feel like merging the Teleport and Cleanse ones since they are indeed both situationals and not offensive like Ignite. I think by doing this new players will be able to see that there is another option to pick as a situational slot 2 spell other than Teleport as now you kinda just keep Cleanse in the shadows of the last description and most people won’t even notice it’s there in the first place because you start the sentence off by talking about two other spells that aren’t even useful for Lissandra.


Runes

When it comes to Electrocute where you mention that it has power in lane against ranged like Ahri, I’ll have to strongly disagree. Yes, sure it does give you power pre-3 but after that if you try to trade against an Ahri at level 3, you’ll lose trades way more often then ones that you can win, especially if you get hit a lot by Charm. Not only this but if you decide to go for Electrocute instead of Aftershock against Ahri, you’re going to become fox meat post-6 because you’re so squishy and Ahri has a lot of burst potentials to destroy squishies across the entire game apart from the early 3 levels. As for LeBlanc I think it works like you say though as you’re able to lock her in place when she uses Distortion thanks to Ring of Frost and you’re able to poke her down and lock her post-6 etc. so that’s fine. Why I say so much about Ahri though is because together with what i’ve already mentioned, if she builds Zhonya's Hourglass on you, pretty much all your spells are useless against her now, even R which was the biggest impact you had since E can just get stopped if she throws a Charm to predict your movement.

The reason why I’d say that Aftershock is a much better option is because it reduces Ahri’s potential to one shot, and not just hers most other ranged matchups as well. This because you’re able to go in for a trade, poke and then get out without even losing to much of your health because of Aftershock. As an Ahri main, I can promise that I have a much harder time facing Aftershock Lissandra then with Electrocute.

I like your experimental options for keystones to pick but i’m kinda clueless as to why or more accurately when I should pick Arcane Comet. You explain this pretty well with Dark Harvest explaining some matchups where this is really good for, kinda the same roughly for Glacial Augment, but as for Comet, there’s no reason to pick it. Apart from you explaining that it’s really good, most new players looking to play Lissandra will be completely clueless about that keystone and even the Glacial one too I think. If you can’t find an option to pick the keystone, then i’d just recommend to remove it altogether.

When it comes to the minor runes, i’m unsure if Hextech Flashtraption and Perfect Timing is even necessary to be there. As from what I’ve seen from the descriptions of those, it feels like you’re just trying to say that “it’s good, but the other four are technically better”. That’s what I get when I read as it feels like the other four just makes these two in particular really bad options for Lissandra. Because of this, it might just be better to remove them altogether.


Items

In the first base of items you say “sometimes you don't have enough gold to get one of the items below instead.” very small nitpick but I think it should say “sometimes you don’t have enough gold so try to get one of the items below instead.” Since what you’re referring to before is that you don’t have enough gold for the items below that you mention, even though technically you don’t have enough gold for Revolver/Lost Chapter and not the ones below. :P

Again with the whole Luden’s and Proto situation, I still don’t know when to pick the item. You still say that Luden's Echo is quote on quote “the best first item for Lissandra and if that’s the case, it seems like Proto isn’t even useful to get at all.

Boots: Might want to explain a bit more in-depth about why you go Sorcerer's Shoes 90% of your games. Something very simple as “the magic pen is really good for you as it’ll make your kill potentials great/it’ll higher your DPS by a lot, for examples, other than just “You have to go this almost all the time”, explain to your readers why all the time. The other two boot options does a much better job of explaining this, good job. :P

For Zhonya's Hourglass another nitpick, might be good to say that you can also build it second/third if you’re against a matchup where you desperately need it’s item active (such as Zed), especially at times when you don’t have Frozen Tomb because for example the early where it has a really long cooldown. Same nitpick goes for Banshee's Veil too, just say that the item is good against a heavy ap matchup like LeBlanc (you do kinda explain this but I think by putting in a champion example, it’ll give new readers a bigger explanation as to why this item is good against ap champions specifically).

Unsure if Spellbinder is needed, you say that you can replace boots for it, but since you just explained before that Sorcerer's Shoes was really good and you pick it 90% of games. That means that 10% of games you either opt for more defensive boots or for Spellbinder. Sure it does give you a lot more AP and makes you a better kill threat when you’re going for a bursty kind of playstyle, but I feel like having boots are just necessary even if you’re at full build. The only champion I could say that boots are never necessary is Cassiopeia because she can’t even get them, so that makes sense in itself.

Small spelling error in your “Ultra defensive niche options etc.” It’s “this item” and not “this items” since you only mention Abyssal Mask, plural makes it weird when it’s only singular :P Also I feel like you should just remove this and put it back into “other items” as it kinda serves the same reason. The readers kinda already understand that “This is something you should build in like 1% of your games.” because it’s a situational item and the description for it explains the reason for building it. If I had to say, I think you should remove Spellbinder and exchange that spot for Abyssal Mask with its description, while removing “Ultra Defensive Niche Item” along with the rest that’s there so that it’ll only be “Other Items” and then table of contents. I think that’d look much nicer and people won’t get mislead into thinking Abyssal Mask is a worse item compared to the other items because it’s in its own category.


Gameplay

Trading & Keystones nitpick, you said “agressive” it’s supposed to be “aggressive”. :P

Generally speaking, you got a lot of spelling errors in your guide, i’d suggest using a program (or just taking your text over to a google document) and fix the grammar. It’s gonna help for sure.


Matchups

I’ve seen the first few for this matchup section and it looks really nice, it isn’t done and it’s just a WIP but so far it’s something that will go a really long way once it’s actually finished, so keep up with the work :P

One thing to put in about Ahri, keep in mind that better ahri players will save their Charm’s to make it so that you won’t notice when it’s gonna be casted, which will result in you getting caught most of the times because of that reason.

I can completely tell that you've put a ton of effort into this from the length of the guide to the graphics as well as the visuals that makes this guide really fun, enjoyable and quite exciting to read through. I love the consistent blue theme and it’s really what makes this guide into what it is, not only that but it makes it really unique compared to other Lissandra guides.

I'm sure that there is a few other things that you can look to improve with your guide, but where you stand as of right now, you've got a really solid guide. I'm going to let you digest my input, and maybe make some changes. If you want me to revisit your guide at some later point in time, then it'd be my pleasure. Just reply if you feel like it or post on my My Review Service! :)
