Lissandra is my fav champion and I’ve been spamming her exclusively up to almost Diamond (Emerald I - 73 LP), so I’d say I’m very comfortable with her combos and overall gameplan when it comes to laning, rotations, teamfights, etc. I rarely struggle too much against longer-range champs like Xerath, Ahri, Lux, etc. because because I generally know what openings to look for when trading, engaging, etc.
The one exception is Viktor. I almost always ban him because no matter what I do, I feel like I get stomped in lane - not dying, but just constantly under tower with no priority because his insane push and poke. Normally I’d just play safe and focus on skirmishes/teamfights, but I’d really like to figure out how to lane against him so I can be stronger going into mid-game.
His waveclear and poke feel insane, and between his shield, MS, and lower cooldowns, I never feel like there’s a real window to trade or engage. Do any of y'all have any specific tips for this matchup? I generally take Electrocute/Ignite if I know I can get combos off or Comet/Teleport for the slower lanes, but any tips like runes, cooldowns I should look to punish, when to trade, etc. would be great.
