What makes Lissandra dangerous

Lissandra pokes with shattering ice, roots with slow claws (W is a point-blank AoE root), gap-closes with a re-usable claw dash (E), and her ultimate either entombs YOU for the team kill — or freezes HERSELF untargetable while healing. Anti-assassin and anti-dive in one kit.
