[Question]: Is it possible to play Elise outside of the Jungle?

Agent Corgi··1 votes·1,033 views

So recently, I've decided to pick up Elise Elise as a secondary (maybe Primary) Jungle champion. What I wanted to ask is if it's possible to play her in a Lane if I did not get the Jungle Role.

If so, how could it be done?

I mean, you can play elise top or mid. I wouldn't recommend it. Even as an Elise OTP, be ready to play other champs in other lanes. Unless you're low elo and are absolutely amazing at elise mechanic wise, it's a bad idea. Elise isn't really meant to be in a lane. She will have a really hard time clearing waves. And if the wave freezes for the enemy, you're fucked. I'd suggest learning to play 1 or 2 champs in every lane. Don't practice them constantly, just know some basic mechanics and how lanes work. When I used to One trick warwick. I legit was fucked every time I went mid or bot.

Recently had a smurf playing Elise top in one of my games. The smurf managed to get somewhat fed off the Garen top... but couldn't carry the game.

She used to be played top by pros. I think it was season 4 but I don't remember now

As a 2 mil

I wouldn't bother. You can play her mid as an assassin similar to ahri and then roam around the map and gank like a jungler, but top lane you really don't want to play her as every matchup shits on her. Tanks imidiately outdamage and become harder to kill for her after the first time, and juggernauts can just all in her and win off of raw bulk and damage. Her best matchups are the ranged ones where she can farm safer then most tops and blow up squishies, but she's very gank prone due to people seeing elise top and shutting her down early on, her only strength period in the game.

I pick her in mid whenever I'm against squishy immobile champs (Syndra Lux Brand ) or when I'm against Zed (she hard counters zed, he literally can't ult her if she rappels it.). She can all in anybody mid level 3 with ignite with ease.

Bot lane there is a high diamond elise otp successfully player her in the ADC role as an AP assassin, but a lot of his KDAs are significantly low, KP is low, and even he says he feeds a lot and gets carried which doesn't sound too good.

Support is possible but her mana cost really gate her, as all she can really do is an all in with cocoon then rappel out after chunking half somebody's health, then rinse and repeat.

Just stick with her in the jungle, she's bearly even viable there.
