She really really isn't that powerful. Her pick rate is a pathetic 8.6%, sure it went up a bit but when compared to who's picked twice as much AND wins more games. I think your bans are mis-located.

This is the "Kassadin Syndrome" as I like to call it. People think a champ is OP like it is 2 seasons ago ( they're 2 seasons behind basically) and keep banning it without playing it themselves/ looking at patch notes, because they're terrified having witnessed that champ's power that they still believe they're OP

If elise is winning games, it's because her mains are using the buffs to the full advantage not because a new item came out that broke her cough cough

or she was pure bs from the start

So, ya try out elise ( she's free this week) and consider whether she's worth banning

This is exactly what I mean when I say players remember the Elise of old and therefore ban her without knowing her true strength.

But I'm not saying Elise isn't ban worthy. She is ban worthy because players don't know her true strength and haven't had to consider her as viable. Players don't like unknowns in their games. Ahri, on the other hand is a known quantity, which is one reason why Ahri isn't banned as often despite the fact that she is stronger and more popular than Elise.

Also, Ahri is way hotter than Elise. Don't underestimate the power of her charm.

Well when her pick rate is actually 12% and she wins 54% of the games, she is indeed ban worthy. Ahri wins roughly .7% more of her games than Elise.

Devourer junglers aren't very threatening, you pick a strong early jungle, Elise is a perfect example, and then snowball all your lanes to the point that a sated devourer coming out of the jungle into already lost lanes, just makes you laugh.

You genuinely don't need to be an Elise main to crush games with her, play her half assed decently and you completely crush games.

Aatrox is terrible in general, Jax still performs poorly despite how strong sated devourer is, Yi is super easy to shut down and all it takes is minor amounts of CC to blow him up if he does get off the ground., Kayle and Shyvana are in fact ban worthy, finally if someone actually still plays Fizz jungle with sated, good for them, he doesn't use it well so it's a waste of time.

Only reason her early game is powerful as it is atm is because of the devourer junglers. its immensely powerful and popular but it needs to be farmed. While elise on the other hand doesn't use devourer. You know how to lower her win rates? dont go devourer all the time and start ganking early game.

The fact remains that she is immensely powerful right now, and still ban worthy, devourer junglers mostly aren't.

All beating them takes is for your jungler to not be a complete twit.

Shes powerful because all devourer junglers do is farm.
