So about Elise

Craft Zeppelin·Jul 25, 2015·1 votes·537 views

As a person who has been using Elise time after time this buff was huge, huger than a inflated Zac with warmogs. She has the same amount of game impact as warwick or xin or diana in this patch. (Although not as popular, meaning Elise mains are leading this large ratio) The spiderlings scaling with ap and the rappel modifier with the stun made the planets all alligned . But again, I think riot will likely nerf her a bit to keep her in a good position what do you think? Personally I think the spiderling damage ratios define what makes her a assassin ,but making the cocoon into a morgana stun with more velocity was a bit...ummm....

Elise might actually still need a slight buff if she is going to see competitive play. The only thing this buff did was make her relevant enough that she is considered viable again. That is to say: competitive junglers will actually practice her because she isn't total trash anymore...

We should start to see a clearer picture of where she stands now that she's relevant.

I'd imagine her stun duration might go from 1.6 to like 1.4 at rank one, and her spiders will probably lose a bit of damage so she cant insta gib people early game

I hope riot keeps her as a assassin role and dont overnerf the ratios. I quite like the executes when it goes in. The stuns are a real problem, she has a huge duel potential now with it.

Well she's the 3rd most banned champ in the past week (higher than any devourer junglers) which indicates that people are remembering why Riot made her unviable in the first place. I was personally excited for the buffs because I love Elise and they didn't seem like they would be THAT huge but now she's just awful to play against like it was before. Riot will probably nerf her soon, although I think this shows she needs more than just number changes, because her kit just has everything so it's nearly impossible to balance.

It has no use to ban devourer champions, because they're all similar. You ban warwick? There's still Xin, Shyvana, Kayle, etc. I think the only one banworthy here is Kayle, because her ult is more gamechanging than any other ult.

Except Shyv, Xin, and Kayle are the only ones that REALLY need to be banned, because Warwick is honestly easy to deal with and doesn't utilize it as much as the others. Then Xin, despite being so strong with it is actually picked pretty rarely, at least in my games. I think that Kayle and Shyv are the only ones that are must-ban, and both have lower banrates than Elise.
