So Elise's rappel...

Honestly, if Elise just got her rappel nerf reverted, she'd be fine again. She could finally actually do something. Every time I'm about to rappel onto someone, I'm half a centimeter away from being in range.

There's obviously something wrong if we're in a tank meta and a champion with %current HP and %current missing hp damage is considered trash.

If her rappel had it's range from back in Season 4, she'd be so much better. One of her best qualities was being able to gank from behind the enemy tower using minions as rappel target, or standing in their Wraiths (now Raptors) and rappelling onto them. She can't do that now. He best chasing tool isn't even good for chasing because unless they are literally inside of you, it takes too long to go up and they get out of range, especially with the metric fuckton of dashes new champions have.

lol they took away a lot of shit man.. the width on her E is what kills her for me.

Honestly, as someone who's played her before and after the E nerfs, I can honestly say that this alone wouldnt even help her right now, not that they shouldnt because those were bullshit blanket nerfs anyway.

You might disagree, but i feel like the tank meta makes it harder (not easier) for Elise with %current HP and %missing HP scaling damage. Think of it this way - back when teams would play 4 squishies and a bruiser like Lee Sin in the jungle, Elise could build full tank and be relevant due to the % damages in her kit. Now the amount of MR most of the team buys reduces the actual damage they take, so the % current damage just doesnt do enough to cut through the tank to make the % missing HP be strong.

And then on top of that, who is popular in this tank meta? Maokai, Gnar, Sej and Gragas - all who are naturally tankier than elise with % max health damage in their kit.

She was already in a weakened state before this meta, but this meta isnt helping her out. this is not the meta for Elise to shine, even if you revert the E range.

Me I just wish it wouldn't randomly auto fail when using quick cast. Without quick case landing cocoon is way more annoying. From the discretion is almost sound like a mobile version of the hourglass but I harderly get into the air before I just randomly drop down in the same spot. Not to mention is has set up time.

On a side note it would be cooler if you could repel for longer instead of having the range increased.
