The thing that makes her deadly imo is if she's paired with a kill lane adc like Graves or Draven. Unlike Zyra, you KNOW when she's gonna try to cc because Lissandra will throw her claw out. As an ADC i'm constantly watching my support if they're a champ like Leona, Taric, or Ali for the reason that I need to know when we're going for something. Otherwise my support dies, we fall behind. So knowing my support is going in gives me time to react, And unlike most supports, Lissandra doesn't HAVE to tele.

In teamfights Lissandra's best asset seems to be the insta stun on the carry. In a burst team comp or a cc comp it's massive enough to kill the carry easily with little effort. But in teamfights, Zyra has the better CC ult. Her ult's range is big does nice damage, and is a knockup as well.

Laning: I'd probably take Lissandra when I play my Graves, Sivir, Vayne or Draven, and Zyra for Ez, Cait, and Varus.

If I'm considering team fights, I'd want a good zyra support over a lissandra support because of the ult.
