How to win lane as Locke against Lissandra · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
A stationary spell-battery vs a blink with an execute — survive the poke tax pre-6, then every low-HP recall becomes a Purgatory receipt.
Track: Lissandra's E — Glacial Path (Claw, 24–12s cooldown). Her engage and escape in one button — she is immobile while it is down.
Read from Locke's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Lissandra.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is skill-based and decided by wave shove and spacing. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 stays even around her QW push and your poke. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 remains skill-based with neither ahead. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 stay even as you trade around cooldowns. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 your all-in beats her self-defensive ult. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item is skill-based and CC-decided. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Late is skill-based around her teamfight engage. |
Levels 1-2 are skill-based and about the wave: Lissandra pushes hard with QW, so match her shove, dodge the Q claw return, and keep distance from her point-blank W root. Even, wave-driven window: Lissandra shoves fast with QW and pokes with the Q claw, so match her push and hold your dash for her E gap-close so she can't root you into a combo.
