Lissandra, the Ice Witch Champion Preview

Hi guys!

This time around we have Lissandra, the Ice Witch. A quick preview towards this new champion.
Lissandra is a ranged, ability power, caster. With a lot of mobility and crowd control effects.
In this preview of Lissandra I only took mana regeneration and cooldown reduction so the recording would go more smoothly and requires a little less time (Limits the amount of recalls required and time we have to wait on cooldowns).
My first impression of Lissandra is that she has the potential to be a very strong champion for Mid and even Top lane (She doesn't need blue buff and is self sufficient).
I hope you enjoyed this Lissandra Champion spotlight and liked the commentary.

Abilities:
Passive -- Iceborn:
After a brief cooldown, Lissandra's next ability costs no mana. Hitting an enemy with movement impairing abilities reduces Iceborn's cooldown.

Q -- Ice Shard:
Lissandra throws a spear of ice that shatters on contact with the first enemy struck, dealing damage and slowing their movement speed for a short duration. Enemies behind the struck target also take damage.

W -- Ring of Frost:
Lissandra freezes the area around her, dealing damage to nearby enemies and rooting them for a short duration.

E -- Glacial Path:
Lissandra casts a slow-moving, long-range ice claw in a line, dealing damage to all enemies in its path. Re-activating Glacial Path teleports Lissandra to the claw's current location.

R -- Frozen Tomb:
On enemy cast: Lissandra freezes an enemy champion, damaging and stunning them briefly. Dark Ice emanates from the target, dealing damage and slowing nearby enemies.
On self-cast: Lissandra encases herself in ice, rooting herself in place briefly and becoming untargetable and invulnerable.
Dark Ice emanates from Lissandra, dealing damage and slowing nearby enemies.

This footage was recorded on the PBE (Test Server) and shows you what she looks like and how her abilities work.

Again, any feedback is more than welcome (Video, suggestions and ideas, etc..), post a comment below or contact me via Facebook.

Thanks for the nice comment! :)

And Lissandra does look scary, but I really like that. Her animations are also so well done, really cool champ.

[SummonersWar]

It's on the PBE, it will be available on live later.

[SummonersWar]

That's what most people do :) if you want the official video, just check Riot's channel.
On your not about PBE being renamed to CBE, I partially agree. Registrations are not always open, but when they are everybody can register for a PBE account (most of the time it's about 2 days a month). They do this to fight the influx of new players whenever a new champion releases on the PBE -just- to check out the champion.

[SummonersWar]

Well, I don't tend to go too deeply into the stats or scaling of abilities because it's all highly tentative to change. (She's released on the test server after all :P )

[SummonersWar]

Friday next week at the latest. Could be tomorrow aswell. I would hold on to those hard earned IP's just a little while longer :)
Sorry for my late response.

[ShizzBallZ]

great video! keep them up! would you play this champion in future games?

[SummonersWar]

Thanks!
And I haven't played League of Legends in some time, but Lissandra seems to make me want to try it again (eventhough I will be very bad with the first few games :P)

[SummonersWar]

I know, but people asked me to type it out so they can better distinguish each emote :)

[jjwebb]

Makes sense, but they haven't had it open for months.

[SummonersWar]

Well, the PBE is situated in NA, i'm from the EU. So on the PBE I always have around 160 ping :) It's not optimal, but it works.

[vtada]

please, in the next review of Climb 100 bonus physical damage and 100 magic, and hovers on skills that would show how many% effect on skill, thank you and sorry for english.

[Vtelos]

i think two stuns for one character especially her moves is way overpowered.

[SummonersWar]

That's because we have a lot of different accents in our own language aswell. That reflects in our english :)

[SummonersWar]

I will create a channel update video this weekend and upload it somewhere next week. If you guys think of anything that you want to know more about, channel wise, let me know.

With the Lissandra release on the PBE there were also 4 new skins. I will upload those tomorrow.

[TehJohnny]

it's "champion spotlight" in the title because this video IS a champion spotlight

[jjwebb]

I didn't feel tricked. I was specifically LOOKING for a preview champion spotlight by someone in the PBE. Also, I think PBE (Public Beta Environment) needs to be renamed to PBE (Private Beta Environment) or CBE (Closed Beta Environment) since you can't PUBLICLY join anymore (or for now).

[akcat]

Hey, nice video, but i have a Question, how do you activate the bars, which shows how long the CC last.. i would be glad if you woulda help me :)

[JustCrumbz]

in the end i saw you typing the commands for laugh talk etc.. you can easily and faster do that with CTRL+1/2/3 or 4 :P

[chendrim]

I think she looks like a good champ but what will make her is her ap ratio's if bad shes no good if regular she balanced If high then a little higher than balenced

[Butagaz]

Can you launch the ultimate on allies? (not lissandra)
