A question about Elise

Elise I have a few question about Elise. I'm fairly new with her and I kind of get her concept, but at the same time, I kind of don't. Question) What is Elise's objective in teamfights? I have no idea, I feel like I have to be like those other mages and aim for ADC, and I tried but it didn't really work out even when I got to the ADC.... I also tried to just play safe and get in when I can, but I realized I was so useless throughout the whole teamfight... I also realized that Elise's rappel doesn't really respond well. Whenever I press "E" the ability "Rappel" isn't going off.... It does work if I press "E" a few times, but that defeats the purpose of immediately going off to dodge turret aggro. :( Also, is it me, or does Elise's Transform (R) doesn't work either...? Sometimes, it doesn't work... (I have no idea why.) Other times, Elise's Spider form Q doesn't give the gap closer it should... I don't know... I feel like Elise is overall bugged. At the same time, I feel like Elise should also get a QoL buff. Something that really kills me is that Elise's spiderform Q is not instantaneous, and it's a fairly slow projectile (Elise moving to her targeted unit) this really gives time for champions to flash or make a gap while Elise is on her way to use the ability or has already used the ability, and thus the enemy is left with like one auto that could've been fulfilled if Elise's Q was instantaneous, (since Elise's autos are very important.) Also, I get the impression that Elise's transforming ability and Rappel has a delay. Sometimes, I know when the enemy champion is going to use some sort of ability that I know I can dodge with Repel. But transforming has a delay where I cannot cast the spell until Elise has finally transformed and Rappel also seems to have a delay. This makes Elise players unable to instantly R+E to dodge abilities and make cool plays. It would be really really awesome (and helpful) if Elise's Q, R and E (spider form) was instantaneous. These are the minutes in-video when the player seems to also have the same problem as me :/ 20:54 23:25 23:51

Her role in teamfights is to try and not be useless >_>. They really over-did it on her. She needed nerfs back in the day, yeah, but holy balls. Take a look at her patch history,...

Elise is basically urgot tier right now, no matter the bans, enemy picks, pick position... There is always a better champion pick for any role on a team. Best option? Don't bother learning her right now.

Elise is simply not a team fighter. Her role is typically to power everyone else up with great ganks, and when teamfighting rolls around, try to cocoon a squishy, then have your team jump onto them. If possible, your end-objective in a teamfight is to rappel to steal important cooldowns (if possible) or rappel onto a low health target and then assassinate them with you spider Q's % missing health.

I don't have trouble getting her combo off so that might be something on your end?

But yeah, she's definitely a bit weak right now.
