I main Elise and havnt been able to play since the nerf.
This isnt a complain thread but a how is she now thread.
So to the question after the nerf. Is she still a beast in the jungle and ganks? or did the nerf render her useless?
Chroud2 votesSo shes still strong just with a little slower start i take then?
Tormentula2 votesPretty much, her early game is a bit riskier as she can't 1v1 as many things (keep in mind she's balanced once she gets runic echoes, but before that she's suffering majorly with her power nerf), so I'd suggest not trying to invade or counter jungle until you get an idea of how much burst you actually do.
and of course with the nerfs, while it was "viable" to do something like cinderhulk, now it's just pointless, don't do anything but runic echoes elise.
Tormentula2 votesShe's OK
I mean, she still does what she does, but the power difference is very noticable. If you spider bomb camps as you walk away to last hit minis, chances are they're still alive. Just gotta be a bit more judgemental and get used to her new damage output.
The one thing I'm contemplating is whether or not maxing W is even worth it over E.. I'd still start with it but idk if I'd max it before coon now.
Also she has a bug right now... since this patch her spider form has no audio of the spider form, instead everything is human's audio. I don't know why this happened but it's a regular thing now. Hopefully it's fixed soon..
Rhòmbus1 votesThe W nerf just lowers her insane burst with her Spiderling and Runic Echos. The movement speed nerfs just take down her early gank potential. She will be anything BUT useless trust me.
Chroud1 votesIf thats the case im still happy :)
Restless Slumber1 votesHaven't played yet, but as an Elise main myself this should balance her a lot more. With runic echoes being added she had been pretty broken given a lead, being able to one shot any squishy given the opportunity. If you're running cinderhulk Elise though, maxing E second would probably be smarter now. Overall I can say that this isn't going to impact her that much and is only going to hurt her early game.
Chroud1 votesGreat constructive reply's guys thanks for taking the time to answer my questions :)
