@Rito: Making Elise viable/stronger again for S5; add damage to Cocoon (E) * /r/leagueoflegends

With the upcoming changes to Elise her Q, Riot is attempting to make her a bit more viable and stronger in the new jungle for the next season. While she will benefit from these changes, Elise will still scale fairly underwhelming into the late game if you build her as a utility tank (standardized build in current meta).

I'd suggest adding damage to her Cocoon (E). Most champions with CC skillshots have a damage multiplier but Elise hasn't. Like Xerath, Jayce, Ahri but Nidalee would be the best comparison in terms of gameplay and skillset.

Why not add similar damage per level (20\40\60\80\100) and perhaps a little something extra like a percentage damage based on enemy health over the duration of the stun (10/12/14/16/18% +1% per 50AP).

Other transform champions such as Nidalee, Jayce and Gnar all have some form of damage amplifiers on their respective skills but Elise hasn't. With the ever changing meta sure Elise is still in a healthy spot but it has declined with every patch release.

I hope you guys take this into consideration for future patches

Cocoon for damage on an already mana hungry champion? Ouch. Her main issue is she can't clear even close to as fast as other junglers. These changes mean she can finally clear her own jungle (couldn't last patch) but it also means others can do that, clear the river and the dragon in the same time frame.

What about damage amplification like ahri's charm ? It wold make more sense

Interesting, but I don't like the idea. Her cocoon is not an easy ability to land. I don't like the idea of power being shifted to and balanced around an ability with such a long CD that can only be cast in human form and is hard to land.
