Plat Lissandra main here, I don't think she's in need of any changes and is one of the most balanced champs in the game at the moment. She's still used to good effect in pro matches where they are building her semi-tanky and have a good team to follow up on her strong CC. Her solo queue win rate is just low for two reasons: if you build her tanky, you need to rely on your team mates too much to follow up and that's tough. If you build her like a glass cannon, the skill cap required to play her skyrockets because she's so unforgiving if you miss a Q or can't use your ultimate properly.

My advice to all of you is to go 2 Doran's > DFG > Zhonya's > 2 more offensive items > Abyssal last. With a DFG you can blow up literally anyone you want in the early and mid game, so abuse it.

And one last thing... chill with the Athene's rushes. IMO it's actually a very lackluster item for someone who has a mana sustain passive and makes you apply little to no pressure on your lane opponent. It's only good to rush against strong pushers like Ziggs/Malz/Zyra/Morgana/Xerath, and so on.
