The State of Elise after the minor buff

So...Elise used to be solidily in the top 3 junglers for a great deal of season 4...then some nerfs fell on her hard and you couldn't even smell a trace of her in a higher end game for months. I'm curious with the minor buff they gave her Q if anyone has tried her out and see where she's currently sitting. Is she a viable jungling option again? I know she was still in a bad place with the jungle changes...just curious if this has helped or if she's still near the bottom of the rung.

She has always been viable (sorta), not being in the top 3 or so doesn't mean she is completely off the viability grid.

Well...she went from top 3...to I could probably list 15-20 junglers that were more useful. I'm just curious if the buff helped her state of play. I'll play her regardless in a normal. I realize that not being a top tiered player means that I shouldn't worry about this kind of thing...and honestly I don't. I'm just curious overall. To be honest...I watch about 50-100 games for every game I actually play...that's what happens when you're an old fart. I miss seeing her...and the top tier players don't play her anymore because she wasn't viable competitively. I was hoping this minor buff changed that.

From what ive seen she isnt that bad, but it takes her awhile to gank or at least my friend said that it was still hard for him to get buffs then gank.

You can tell just by looking at the buff that it solves nothing. It's a buff but in a vague "throw her a bone" way, not a meaningful way. So she's basically the same.

Here's hoping more is planned for her, but I'd be more than a bit surprised. When this is their idea of a buff it seems clear they don't really want to raise her power level.

A shame...she's a fun champ that requires quite a bit of skill and knowledge. That's why it was so enjoyable to see her in the hands of pro teams.
