Honestly I thought they should have tied Lissandra's CC into her passive instead of having them scale with the spells, that way all her spells could have CC and she would be more of a CC mage then. Riot already tried a shield passive but couldn't get the numbers to work like they wanted to. A Liandry's type passive wouldn't work well because it wouldn't help with the CC mage and would just be a brand-like passive. Riot has been trying to make an empowered auto attack that scales off mana passive viable for a while but the last time they put it one a champ, Taric, it really messed up the meta, making Taric viable top with his healing sustain and point and click stun that would proc Triforce along with his passive.

Lissandra's passive will be nerfed at least twice and I think will be gone by the end of the year. Empowered auto attacks on passives can be misused by items that also empower auto attacks so easily that I don't think a balanced passive like this will ever be possible.
