Elise is a champion much like niddalee with a double kit. It to say she's just as hard chqmpion, But my main concern is how high is her skill floor. I'm a bronze so my mechanics suck. I suck at this game( by accepting this fact, I will climb). Elise has always been a highly contested pick. How hard is she to learn and to master.
LitAF3 votesI dont think she is too hard just gotta land her EWQ combo in human form then switch over to spider to eat their faces
exiledFromBadmen1 votesI used to play 
a lot in Season 4 before moving to Vanguards. Her skill ceiling is not extremely high, but more difficult than champions like 
Just get used to skillshot landing (Her E is relatively thin compared to a general mage hard CC) in general and you'll be able to play her.
I'm just a silver trash, so you don't have to listen to me lol
TL;DR: Not so hard
d4rkshock1 votesSo the web is the hard part. Is it thinner than a brand q or ahri charm.
exiledFromBadmen1 votesYes Cocoon is the hard part, it's only 10 units thicker than a 
spear if I recall correctly (not sure on charm and Brand Q, let me look up)
Jaygo411 votesHer main combat pattern is pretty straight forward. When you get used to E-QW-R-WQ, the main way you express skill defensively is how you dodge stuff w/ rappel
Tormentula1 votesElise is hard, but not in a mechanical sense, but her playstyle.
She's not difficult in terms of understanding mechanics, after a game or two you pretty much understand everything her kit does and combos, but being an effective, aggressive, and early pressuring Elise takes a lot of confidence in using her properly. An Elise main will be more commited to diving towers early on either with flash cocoon combos or just going deep in but a new Elise may mess something up like cocoon a minion or never commit to dives despite having rappel.
In bronze she's very good to carry and climb out as since she can get lanes fed and snowballing so stupidly quick, and people are used to Elise players being a little skiddish and underestimating their actual damage when they commit, but its a matter of the Elise player's performance and commiting to ganks/kills even under tower.
She takes practice but she's definitly no where near 
in terms of skill ceiling, possibility to screw up hard, or very difficult jungle clears that you can barely handle when new. I am a one trick, but I've seen friends climb out of bronze by just reaching level 5 on her and gank lanes early without actually dueling much theirselves.
TL;DR; Very easy to learn, a little tricky to master.
Gary B Enkelis1 votesShe has lots of targeted abilities so she's not too tough.
Terchio1 votesI'd say low floor and high ceiling. Low-level play is actually pretty easy because she's extremely effective, no matter her target, by maxing her Q, grabbing all the flat magic pen she can find, and QRQ the enemy quickly, with little counterplay. Her only issue at low ELO is being able to carry her assassin tendencies into the lategame, and being effective at endgame teamfights. However, once you start getting skilled with her, you can find ways to keep some of that power while also boosting your effectiveness in teamfights, whether by "tanking" huge amounts of damage through her slippery behavior, or by splitpushing and punishing folks who attempt to chase you down outside the range of their allies. Most of the time, once you get her mechanics down, she can put away most non-tanks before they can react, and then walk off with one fewer enemy to worry about.
