Yeah, that bit was poorly explained by me, so sorry.

But then again, the issue with the Package is that, at the core of it, merely ends up being either a cheap roaming tool or a Nope Button...which makes it's Equalizer level damage be almost completely wasted. On the other hand, the thing has so much power in terms of pressure, there's not much room to improve it as an actual offensive without breaking it even further, unless you chip away at alot of it's current power and or redo it completely.

Again i don't think i'm "overshooting" Lissandra's particular power budget. As a mage overall she's currently subpar in almost every aspect. Her burst power falls off harder than season 3 Ezreal, her primary control tool gets cucked by Cleanse/QSS, her roaming potential gets outdone by other control mages (hell Taliyah outdoes Liss in almost every aspect) and she's naturally much riskier as a control mage because of her all in nature.

Lategame she can't burst people down, she can't lock them down all that well either and has to rely on a cheese double Stasis feint engage, which can have about as much success as playing Russian Roulette blind. She's a control mage whose control becomes less and less overtime. No other control mage has this issue. At best she can act as a glorified filibuster. At worse she becomes completely useless. So if anything her power budget has been severly undershot for almost 2 years (season 5-ish IIRC?).
