She's playable. I suspect the design team would prefer not to touch her at all aside from a few cosmetic buffs/number shifts because of how potentially insane a strong Lissandra could be. Her major niche (survivable short-ranged battle mage) is largely occupied by new Swain as it is.

It makes me sad because her E is one of the coolest skills in the game.

I've been playing jungle/support Fiddle, he's actually good right now (and rocking a 52%+ winrate in both roles). You still can get punished by invades but he feels good to play for sure. I guess that group is less about champion strength to be fair, but people should play more Fiddle!

RoA into Morellonomicon usually. AoE grievous wounds with E is really good. Catalyst -> Tear -> RoA -> Archangels also works well if you just want to scale

You can run Ultimate Hat and and Presence of Mind and have ult on a really, really short cooldown

Ultimate Hat + Presence of Mind seems to be great on quite a lot of dudes, honestly. Karthus, Lux, Malphite, etc. Pretty much anyone whose ult is most of the reason you pick them.

On Karthus, I also like Last Stand. You get 12% + full dmg on your ult if you ult in passive. Coup de Grace is good for execute but last stand will do more dmg to non low champions as well.

Kassadin is always good with Presence of Mind. Normally if you get a kill you are probably low on mana because of multiple ult usage. Refunding the mana + ult means you can takeover fights easily.

Only time you shouldn't go presence of mind is if you are going Sorcery/Resolve. In some lanes you want the resolve resistances because you will be farming a lot under turret and getting harassed.

Despite our team going 1-1 yesterday in games that weren't remotely close, Clash seems really fun. The process of scouting, drafting, and planning a real teamcomp is cool and so different from normal solo queue.

any mana-based champion with a very useful ultimate with a long cooldown and no inherent reset ability.

It seems strong enough right now that honestly you should look at it for anyone who

a) uses mana
b) isn't an assassin or ADC (they usually take Triumph)
c) has an ultimate

and b probably has a few exceptions too.

Did the level of play seem pretty balanced in your tier? It seems like tier 1 is v high level, but tier 2 apparently extends all the way to plat 5 which seems like it could be a p large range. I've really gotta play the next time this comes up, drat.

Definitely agree on organized play being more fun, some of my favorite league games were playing in the collegiate league and getting to get the occasional upset vs masters / high diamond teams thanks to lucky drafting and working real hard on team play. V glad they're finally bringing tourneys in client.

I think it's one of her classier skins and I like that it doesn't have as much (busy) stuff going on as Headhunter or Pulsefire. It's a shame that it no longer has the old loading screen art.

It wasn’t balanced. The first team was four silver/golds and a diamond and we took their bot tower before nine minutes, the second team had a “silver 3” Vayne that was smurfing and played diamond+ caliber.

E: the screen said we were tier 3 in one place and tier 2 in another place and matched us with a tier 2

I'm not very good at the game but Tristana is a solid pickup. She is pretty often a tier 1 or 2 pick in pro play.

Trist + Riot Girl skin from Riot's facebook (google riot girl trist for exact details).

Dreadknight Garen skin from Riot's twitter

formerly Alistar + Unchained skin from youtube. That doesnt work anymore, but you can get it by asking via support ticket, they have a bot for it.

edit:

https://support.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/202083184-Promotional-Content-Free-Swag-

There's a link from this support page to generate a skin code for Ali, so no need for ticket.

Are there any lane matchups you have a lot of trouble with? Zoe seems to be basically my worst enemy but I haven't run into too much trouble with anyone else in particular, though I've laned against a lot of mediocre people so that isn't really saying much of anything unfortunately.

Melee champs are generally worse, as they have the stats to survive your initial burst and then kill you. I got creamed by a Diana at one point.
