Hi, my name is Myk. I've been playing Lissandra support since she came out (which isn't saying much), and love her kit. To answer your question, I am nobody. I barely, if ever, play ranked. And i'm not really that great. I main support and jungle as of the last 2 months, and have been eagerly awaiting lissandra's release. I am writing this because i am a good support and feel that Lissandra's made for the part. Add that to the recent speculation that she is OP and will be nerfed down, there really isn't much nerfing that can be done to take away her support power. they usually lower damage output, which honestly gets in the way of her supporting sometimes, as you will catch yourself taking kills trying to stun people. But my ADC loves playing with her, and she is a fun support to play. Feel free to leave this guide at any time, but i hope you at least hear me out.
I take my first point in

I prefer
Exhaust and
Teleport, for the forementioned play early game, and it allows you to go back more frequently. But i also like
Flash, because it's a good spell on just about everyone, but because Lissandra has
Glacial Path, i can live without it.

My build is focused around being useful to your team, while being able to dive in, root enemies, and GTFO. I start Lissandra with a

Overall, this build (without wards) costs just under 15000 Gold.
The most important thing when playing lissandra support is communication. Your ADC must know when you are going in, or your dead for no reason. I accomplish this by Pinging the person i want targeted and then making sure my adc is in position before doing anything. If the other team initiates on you and focuses you, use your
Frozen Tomb on yourself and ping for your ADC to focus the squishiest laner, many times you can easily pick up a kill with the slow from your ult, especially if they dive you. Lissandra's ultimate is like a free
Zhonya's Hourglass.
As far as your ADC goes, I like really mobile characters with Lissandra. My favorites are
Quinn and
Ashe (ironic much?) because your slow can let them do so much damage, and their speed and range lets them chase for the kill. Never miss an opportunity to
Frozen Tomb the enemy ADC if you know yours can get the kill. And with characters like Ashe and Quinn, your ult is the perfect amount of time to finish someone.

Up til this point, I've barely touched on the drawbacks to lissandra, especially support. Here it goes, Top Six Style
6-You will Killsteal. Maybe not on purpose, but it will happen
5-You have to have a ballsy ADC. If they aren't going to finish people, there's no point in you being there.
4-Cooldowns are bad, luckely, this is tackled in this guide.
3-Squishy early game and going into mid game.
2-You WILL get focused in teamfights. That is why it is YOUR job to disrupt as much as possible, then GTFO
1- Everyone is playing her- At the time of this writing, i have tried to play her at least 10 more times and had someone beat me to her. And when you do get her, people are surprised your supporting and think your trolling. Just do what i do, show them with your actions how good she is.

Hopefully you liked my guide. I just didn't see any support guides that i liked, so i made mine how I play her. But take my advise, you don't have to follow this guide completely. We all have item preferences and I don't think following a guide perfectly will ever help. Take the parts of my guide that you like and tweak it to your playstyle. This is (obviously) my first guide, and I hope you guys like it. If I did something wrong, please leave a comment. I know this won't be the top guide for Lissandra, and i probably won't be the top support guide for her either. But i can dream, right? :) Thanks for reading
Thank you for reading my guide, and hopefully you will enjoy Support Lissandra as much as I have.
