That skill sequence -1

Uh... no.

There are some general glaring errors regardless: no ability maxed at level 9, tome start is the worst start possible and mastery page specced inefficiently, no more need by said.

There are also other questionable choices, but the above are pretty much the core reasons of why people are downvoting. I don't know if you're just not reading, being a selective reader, or just being bad.

masteries are pretty messed up, but i can see what you're trying to do. i would recommend adding a second build that is just your final items, and set that on as the core items. this will let the stats on the cheat sheet display properly. guide itself isnt THAT well written either. you have virtually no introduction and don't tell us who you are or why we should use this guide.

i disagree with maxing q first, if you harass enough with q they will be low enough for you to finish them with your stronger w and e. so you harass for a little, and then dive for the kill. then if it still doesn't go as planned, you have reduced cooldowns on your w and e so you can escape. at most you can get 3 Qs off during a fight, and unless youre building glass canon, that still wont be enough to kill them.

i rely on the kite power of liss and her ability to burst with her improved w and e

besides, isn't the point of a build guide to present you a different way of doing something? not just to stick to a meta with some different items and commentary? i guess i dont understand what youre looking for.

this is my build and it works. try it or dont, but dont downvote me because i dont fit the meta. especially when liss is a brand new champ.

i see you're trying to improve, but you NEED to fix those masteries and skill sequence. Sure you may win games with it, but that does not make it optimal. The 21st point in the defensive tree is in my opinion the best point in all three trees. You need to max Q first for the constant harass, farming, and kiting power.

NO SURPRISE, -1.

Masteries + Ability sequence. That is all.

i polished the guide as much as i could figure out how to. i do not have in game screenshots on hand. it looks better, has color, is divided better, has the important details highlighted, includes links, includes pictures, and is better organized.

im doing my best to give you all the best build i have worked out for Lissandra

Hey, didn't Voyboy once win a tournament without using masteries or runes? Well, since that works so well, why don't we all do that?

Derp.

I never lose mid with these masteries, runes, and skill sequence. I have also yet to encounter someone who is a "counter" for liss when I build her and play her this way. I just figured I would share my success with the community since she is a new champion and I have had tons of people in game say to me "ohhhhh thats how you should build her' and then ask me what runes, masteries, and sequence I chose.

I just made this to make it easier to share and more accessible to the community as a whole. I really do apologize for the messiness of the guide, I figured if you needed more than the initial information, then you wouldn't mind the little bit of reading I included. Especially since I tabulated the data and broke it into reasonable paragraphs. I really don't know how to how to make a guide with all the bells and whistles, nor do I want to commit my time learning it in depth like I have this champion.

I just wish ya'll wouldn't be biased towards my start, sequence, runes, and masteries. This build is very viable and it woul just take you trying it out once to see that.

good concept. wall of text.

Here's a genuine tip: keep the audience in mind.

Most people looking for a guide won't often look very far past the cheatsheet unless they actually want to take the time to do so, which is rare. As such, you might want to keep your cheat-sheet as correct as possible, such as masteries and skill sequence (which are actually wrong no matter how you look at it).

Those who DO want to read the guide don't want to struggle in doing so. Pictures, icons and links are a good way to lead others to additional information as well as provide helpful reminders and focus to topics.

If you are unable to keep the reader's attention, then I would prepare yourself for more downvotes.

Bad build/good guide = unviable = downvote
Good build/bad guide = no readers = downvote
Bad build/ bad guide = uninstall

We don't need to try it if we know it's not going to work. I believe an appropriate mastery page for tank Lissandra would be either 9/21/0 or 0/21/9. I like the concept of a tanky Lissandra, and i could see it working well in the jungle.

This guide has some good content, but it is not appealing to the reader, i recommend you to read some guides on layout and BBCode. FYI, first guide is not an excuse for not putting work into design and appeal. My Shyvana guide was my first, and it have lots of coding.
