Elise Rappel in Combat

I have been unable to activate rappel while in combat with champions as spider form Elise. If I have taken damage from or dealt damage to an enemy champion within about three seconds before attempting to use rappel, it simply does not work, nothing happens at all. On occasion, I enter rappel before a fight begins, and if there are champions in combat within the range of rappel, I cannot select a target to drop onto, and I have to wait until the ability ends, and fall directly back down onto the spot I started from. To the best of my knowledge, neither of those things should occur, unless I am unaware of restrictions due to burn damage or something else. This problem surfaced for me about three months ago, and has not gone away since.

There is most certainly a bug with Rappel. Most of this sounds like a problem not quite what I've found, but here's my problem: Whenever using Rappel on any object outside her immediate Rappel range, she used to approach the target, then Rappel to it. Now instead, she approaches the target as normal, but as soon as she gets immediately in range, she does a complete stop.

I have played Elise a long time, and that's not how she ever worked, and it doesn't seem like a logical fix, either. Additionally, she could use a QoL update as well, as Elise should be aggroing that target, in my opinion. Instead, she tends to simply stand there until you give the command. Maybe not on the agenda, but I don't know why she's better off without that aggro.

First bug is certain, though. She should not be casting a skill just to see it not cast and stop all movement whatsoever as soon as you get in range. This is most definitely what is happening, as I just tested it moments ago.

they do need to do something i like elise's kit alot but sometimes it seems like she comes down to slow and i cant get my q in for the kill, also it would be nice if she could use summoner skills like heal or barrier.

I played Elise recently and it's quite annoying. I died about 3 times in a row just because of this bug. I think its simillar to the Warwick W bug wich you are not able to cast for a while, but with Elise I think it happens when you change forms from human to spider. I've tried to replicate the bug out of combat and still happens for about 3 seconds, wich means trouble when in combat especially if you play Elise in a more offensive way, going for damage.
