I want to hear about Riot's opinion on Elise, and what plan do you have for her

As said in title, I wanna know what the balance team thinks about Elise as a champion and how they can make her adapt to the current meta.

So far I haven't seen anything from Riot regarding her current situation. She's got very little attention overall, I think there was like 1 or 2 small buffs since she's totally gutted a year ago? It's almost like the stuff don't want touch her or just don't know how to fix her, they don't even wanna talk about her it feels to me.

I'd just wanna hear at least something from Riot about this poor spider lady. No disrespect to Urgot mains but you know the situation is pretty bad when she's considered the best pick for your opposite team over Urgot in Nemesis Mode. Do you think she's fine as she is? Are you going to adjust her base stat? Is there a rework on the way? Please, anything that gives a basic idea of what is happening (or not happening) to her will be just enough.

I really like this champ, but to be honest if you look at her kit, it sounds broken as fuck, so its hard to buff a champ like this w.o making her OP. She has E (escape/gap close) %HP damage max/missing a stun an attack speed steroid and the long range aoe W spider. Like I said, I love this champ and I hope to see some more Minor buffs to balance her. Right now shes a bit underwhelming.

I don't think the balance team can do much for Elise . Her problems mostly come from her design: she has six (seven?) different abilities, all of which can be used on-demand to maximum power, and each provide a completely different kind of effect that end up giving her literally every bonus in the game (DPS, tankiness, crowd control, utility, mobility, burst, sustain, etc.) in small amounts. She first needs to be designed around a much more restricted set of skills which she can then be made really good at. She'd also likely benefit from the Nidalee treatment and have some combo mechanic in place between her forms, which would gate her kit a bit better and allow it to become even stronger.

I remember RIOT saying that they are purposely keeping her in a bad spot because they think Elise is too oppressive when she's good. Only thing is that that's true with almost every champion in the game.

A long time ago they created a thread for her called.

"Let's talk about Elise"

Pretty much the exact same thing they did with Olaf and Xerath.
