I dont know what it is but the new items for elise just arnt cutting it. Before I would win and lose games with elise but i was just fine but now its just so underpowered that i cant enjoy her in the jungle anymore. Does anyone know why she is underpowered or why she cant thrive against other champs as well anymore?
I think the fact she was nerfed for patches upon patches might have had something to do with it. She needs a serious rework to be viable again because as it stands she's a ball of stats that's good at everything and Riot doesn't want those in the game. Just have to swap mains for awhile, I figure.
Build the tank jungle item. She heals enough to deal with the camps, I haven't had any probs with her.
I think it's because the jungle is harder to stay in now and the enchantments don't come till later on. I used to build damage Elise going Spectral->Sorc->void->Haunted Guise and then whatever. If I was ahead I then it felt like I was ahead. If I was behind, that was noticeable but not underwhelming.
However with the slow jungle spawn, the more difficult clear and the items that don't give major stats readily means she's going to struggle if some good things don't happen early on. Even if you build tanky off the bat, there's no guarantee that she'll be able to do "enough" with the other item changes late game. Sad too because she's getting a skin.
Build Elise AP, she can 1 combo most of the camps and she does a ton of damage. It's not as forgiving as tank Elise, but it's more fun. I have had a ton of success with Elise.
10-1 you are dong jungle wrong. Go learn Superior routes. Its Season 1 jungle.
Well, I see the new items much better than before.
Machete + Upgrades now work while in combat, not after being hit, so you can still recover health and mana while tanking with spiderlings. And both Magus and Juggernaut give her what she wants when she wants.
If you need damage you take Magus and after that you can go Banner/Rilay (Banner is a MUST on elise. Aegis aura (What she wants) plus AP plus CDR plus the passive. So sweet) so you keep hurting while having some tankyness.
Juggernaut in the other han gives her a really huge chunk of Health and Tenacity, so just after that she can rush Zhonya/Firegrast/Abyssal/Void whatever she wants and still be thought.
I love her. :D
hm well, i also would agree she could need her tankstats on spiderform back as it is now. Since the game did switch more to teamfighting recently her weakness of only offering single-target-impact bacme pretty evident again, so she could use some more power to make up for that. Also she scales pretty losy with defensive-itemization. Maybe try just ignoring defens and go for a fast voidstaff+zonias, at least i´m more susccessful with her that way than the other way (+ s´s pretty reliant on snowballing anyway).
