If you're in mid lane, call ganks. Lissandra has amazing CC, which makes it very easy for her to set up kills. That's also why her AP ratios are sub-par: she's meant to being crowd control to her team, not damage. She's the kind of mage that works really well with assassins and marksmen, due to her great initiation capabilities and peel. If you want more damage, you may want to pick another mid laner.

Also, Lissandra's AP ratios were actually a bit higher upon release, but they got nerfed when Riot realized she could output massive CC alongside her burst. There's a reason she can't deal as much damage as other mages.
