This doesn't feel like a buff to Elise, it feels like a nerf

Before today I had high win % with Elise top, now today I have lost every game and I feel useless in lane.

This "buff" forces me to use Rappel offensively in order to do any dmg, that isn't how it should be. It was better as an active on the W, if you Rappel in on somebody they run away, so why would you need attack speed & on basic attack lifesteal if you can't get any basic attacks in? You can't switch to Cocoon and stop them or you lose the buff by the time you're back in spider form to attack either, this is terrible, ruined another champ that I enjoyed playing when nobody else did.

Thanks Riot.. notsrs

i agree, putting an offensive steroid on Her rappel makes playing her pretty unstatisfying, as you know you have that aditional steroid, but you nearly never can make any use of it. (her damage without it stayed the same though)

i think the steroid should rather get tied to W, as you would always want you W active at the same time anyway. The scaleing could stay tied to her E so the power is more delayed into the lategame, bu haveing to use rappel agressive feels counterintuitive and bad.

"Top lane Elise"

Stopped right there. Cancer detected.

Top lane Elise use to be very good back in the day when she first came out and her Rappel had such an insane range. But now not so much and with these changes I feel like her top lane got nerfed. But I think her jungle is a little bit better? She heals alot now in the jungle and I feel more comfortable with her jungle now but I still fear the jungle ganks.

Man i couldn't agree more, i used to play nothing but elise last season she was one of the first champs I ever mained prob over 400 games with her. This new buff pretty much forces her to go complete tank unless you wanna be a suicide bomber that does like 300 damage in auto's after you repel onto them, then getting blown up. And the heal for auto's late game doesn't heal/scale nearly as much as the w because of the raw amount of health you usually have by late game. The update imo is a nerf rather than a buff. In reality even though the heal buff is like 100% steroid, 100% of 20 is just 20 more. So its not really all that great late game. (Forgive my grammer mistakes)

Her jungle is loads better now. At the cost of her top and midlaning, sadly
