What happened to Elise?

Everyone has forgotten about the spider queen, the top tier pick in season 3/2, I dunno. However I do know she was a top tier pick. She was garbage in season 4, practically unusable. Then you decide to make the jungle monsters stronger, and she barely can gank anymore. Her whole gank is depended on one skill shot, with high cooldowns and rappel isn't as good as it was before.

You may be asking me this - well then smarty pants, what should we do?

Make her base mana MUCH higher. This will let Elise players use this extra mana to go through the jungle easily and get great ganks.

Her amount of spiderlings should buff her human form spells.

This is an interesting idea - supposedly because of how then Elise players have to get all of their spiderlings to do some good damage, and bite their targets. (Pun intended)

For example, her human form Q shall now have a higher base magic damage ratio, and apply a longer poison effect. Or she has a very large cobweb to throw at her enemies if she has all of her spiderlings. This lets her be much more helpful in teamfights while still not being over the top.

Lower cooldowns.

This is probably the most major thing I can say, LOWER THOSE COOLDOWNS. Elise's cooldowns are extremely high, like 6-8 seconds for a basic ability that is just a click on skill shot that applies over time damage. Warwick has basically half of that range, but does EIGHT percent of the target's maximum health. Elise doesn't need damage, she needs to be more versatile and a strong ganker.

Her rappel should be lowered down, and all of her human form abilities will be lowered, but the rest of the spider form abilities should not.

These changes will make sure Elise doesn't get over the top with insane damage and tankiness, while giving her that jungle clearing speed she really needs to gank the lanes. Elise is probably one of the most UNVIABLE champions in League Of Legends right now.

Give the Spider Queen her throne back. :(

Raped the competitve and normal scene, got nerfed hard for it. A quote from a replyer - My answer: First off, that was two seasons ago. Secondly, being nerfed hardcore for two seasons and being completely unplayable IS not right. Elise should deserve some compensation to at least compete with some of the junglers in S5.
