I often play Swain, but started testing out a new build on Lissandra. It's amazing. I've been crushing low Platinum with a 60% winrate with her.

Core build is basically Hourglass / Nomicon / Deathcap. Runes, all AP, scaling AP and spell pen. Teleport + flash. Basically, I used to build her a little tanky with RoA, Liandry's, but I thought -- her R causes so much chaos and her rotation is so devastating to a team, why not just flash in and blow up?

Once you hit 600+ AP, there's almost nothing they can do. It's like Veigar only worse because her stun can't miss, and she's bringing two AoE CCs with huge damage.

Maybe this isn't so wonderful in competitive play, but in SoloQ, total devastation. If you think about the games you lose, the main reason is an enemy snowballs and there's nothing you can do. But her R effectively shuts them out if played right.

She's also probably one of the best champions in the game for a teleport gank at bottom.

Even if you go 1/10, it doesn't matter so much, since all you really need to do in a team fight is get off a good R and W.

ALSO -- is her R, if targeting an enemy for the stun, dealing damage twice? I almost never use her R defensively.
