She is far more effective top. Now before you ridicule me into the ground hear me out.

A thing most people can't quite comprehend about Lissandra is that she is a burst mage. Sounds weird since her passive and her Q make you think she isbest fit for passive play, but you can dish out a ton of damage by getting near the enemy with her E and bursting them with everything you have (use W first since the CD on your ult doesn't really matter anyways for the remainder of that fight).

She is best kitted out in an Ap Cho'Gath way, which may seem really ineffective but actually works really well.

Start off with Cloth Armor and 5 Health pots, then go forth to get a catalyst and the Armguard, then some boots. Conclude with Rod of Ages and then some Sorcerors's Shoes.

After that it's AP items fit to taste, just make sure you get yourself an Abyssal Sceptre as well.

Just note that this solely works against AD champs, and will probably fail against most AP based Champions.


I'm streets ahead. If you don't get it you're streets behind.

I'm not going to ridicule you, but I'm just going to point out that Lissandra has seen much success in mid in LCS.

ROA isn't good on Liss. Also what sirell said.

With her Glacial Path, lissandra gets SO much mobility. Also, her Q gives her a really fast wave clear. Both of those traits about lissandra make her an absolutely excellent roamer.

With that in mind, she's probably best mid because of her ability to roam.

Also, she's a really good & safe lane bully, which is really good in mid - which is one of the most aggressive lanes. Oh, and she can set up ganks/tower dives like no other
If I helped you out, be sure to throw me a +Rep!

Liss is great in the top lane, agreed but no more than she is in mid-lane. In mid she can really abuse her mobility a lot better; which is the main difference.

Valid points regarding her mobility, but the problem is that most Ap mids have more range than her, which counteract her harassing ability pretty harshly.


See you later, armadillos! Unless I see you first!

You'd be wasting her roaming potential in top.
Shes kind of a mix between a burst & a sustained damage mage imo, and you can't really burst anything down without dfg, especially not with a roa rush.
Her Q is a safe enough wave clear if utilized properly and it's a lot easier to utilize her Glacial Path in mid lane as the lane length is shorter. Her range isn't really a problem as you basically just wait for your jungler to come and set up ganks with all your cc and then once you force a recall you roam around :3
Not saying top liss is bad, just not better than mid liss.
That's my opinion at least :3

She's not a burst mage at all, therefore do not build DFG. Liss is about being disruptive and dps.

Still a good item when you need to get rid of a huge damage threat on the enemy team, I never said I always build it. I wouldn't write it off though, it's a situational item.

Meh I wouldn't ever build it on her; there's simply no need.
