Whoever can play good with this champion is a god, i couldnt stand playing this champion for one moment, im not saying shes bad mind you.

I have played a ton of junglers, even Evelynn and such and i had low hp through my jungle even though guides said to let spiderlings tank.

I honestly had more health with Evelynn in the jungle than with Elise, thats retarded.

Controlling her was hell, i had no idea wtf i was doing half the time.

Ive never, ever had this much trouble controlling any champion before ever in my life, controlling Elise felt like i was being tortured.

My teammates were good people so they didnt flame me which was the saving grace of my first match.

Ive never felt so useless in a game in my LoL career.

To whoever can properly play with this champion, i commend you, you are a god.

I just had to vent this frustration of mine out there, gonna remind you guys that im not saying shes bad.

If you master her, all your games should proceed as the following Step 1: clear your buffs. Step 2: gank top step 3: gank mid step 4: gank bot step 5: counterjungle and kill their jungler and take his jungle creeps instead of yours because fok you im spiderman step6: gg

Elise has very awkward mechanics to pick up so it's not surprising you'd struggle at first - I think everyone has a terrible first game with Elise. When you learn her it's fine though - her clear sustain is one of the best in the game if you can do it properly. The most important things are to use Skittering Frenzy as an auto attack reset and to tank with your spiders correctly. Elise is my favourite jungler and yet I can't even say I use her spiderlings ideally, but my clears are very healthy on her. I tend to start every camp tanking it myself, then switch to letting the spiderlings tank when the camp is relatively low (e.g. if going Krugs > Red, letting spiderlings tank when Red has 900 HP left). By the time the camp dies the spiderlings are probably dead too but you still spend loads of time taking no damage.

After that you just have to learn ridiculous stuff such as "how to juggle tower aggro perfectly feat. Rappel" and "how to best line up Cocoon when minions are cockblocking you". I'm still not great at those things! My best tip is for you to spend time in a custom practicing your clear - do it properly and you can do a full clear with no leash and end healthy. Also, make sure to take scuttlecrab before or after your third camp (ideally after third because Cocoon speeds it up massively, but you can do it before if you're lower than expected and need the sustain).

She isn't hardish just difficult based on what you build because sure if you go damage you will literally kill anyone . she is like the top duelist in the game . Her mechanics aren't hard tbh just be fast at them because she is 1 long combo . and most people will make q first then u can max w or e it really doesn't matter a for lower cd and raise the damage on your passive
