Playing Elise in Low Elo

Call Ambulance·Apr 10, 2018·1 votes·1,126 views

Hey guys! I'm an Elise main in Silver 4. I have over 300 games on Elise this season.

I need help with a few things:

Is rushing mobis and spam ganking the right approach in low ELO?
Is building straight damage the best approach for carrying as Elise in low ELO?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Try this. It's a trick not many people know in low elo. This trick will take effect in champ select. Instead of locking in Elise, try out Maokai, Zac, or Sejuani. This one simple trick along with building locket+warmogs will get you to a fast gold.

I'm here to answer my own question!

Yes - rushing mobis and spam ganking is the correct approach even in low ELO as it maximizes your impact. Sorcerer's Shoes (or other boot upgrades) are a good swap at the point in the game where your team is grouping / teamfighting.
No - building straight damage items (e.g. Mejai's, Void Staff, Death Cap) is a very risky idea as it leaves you open to being one-shot or prematurely removed from fights - reducing your impact on fights.

It's better to build AP bruiser items (Rylai's, Liandry's, Morellonomicon, Zhonya's, Banshee's Veil, Protobelt) to give you the flexibility of being able to dish out or take damage as the situation requires.

Since it is low ELO, building fully defensive items such as dead man's plate or spirit visage might leave you without sufficient damage to take out fed targets.
