Lissandra is an initiation and control mage.

She has great damag eon low cooldowns, but she can't usually kill you in just one spell rotation.

She counters a decent number of champs both mid and top, but she loses hard to those who know how to abuse her weaknesses (champs with lots of poke, or those have a way to keep sticking ot her even when being slowed or snared (olaf and gangplank come to mind)

the best way to pick liss is when you have one high priority target to shut down, or if you just really need engage.

The new buff made it so you can actualy engage fearlessly because you will heal most of the damage taken anyways...so basically just build full AP, roll in with claw, W+ R yourself and let your team take care of the rest. After that continue to Q everyone in ranged until you or everyone else dies
