Elise is strong, but very underplayed

When I have to jung, I always pick Elise. I used to have a really good win ratio with her before I got into diamond (like 65%). I thought: "well I'm doing good for now with Elise because I didn't get to the hard part yet, I'll probably see later when it gets harder why people don't play her". Nope, Diamond 3 now and still doing really well and she remains my main jungler. My win rate did drop a bit (around 58% atm), but I still get complimented often for my performance and overall I'm doing great with her. I think most people don't build her right, this is my build (always, except when full ad): hp jung item, t1 boots, abyssal, randuin, magic pen boots, FH/locket depending on their team, last item either rylai if fed or thornmail/visage if need tankiness. Abyssal being the most important part of my build.

her cds are way to high, punishing her for any mistakes at all, and even when she gets full build there are other late game champions id just rather have. her early game is great but she just falls off and really needs to make that difference early game. her main problem is when laners see her coming and elise just cant get anything from the enemy team, and then she becomes "annnnddd....... what"?

long cd's? with max cdr she has a 2 sec stun on a 6 sec cd. And with the rise of tanks her %hp dmg is pretty strong.

single target skill shot, you want her to go melee range in full ap? or you expect her to build 40% with what build? please tell me how you got to that point in the game.

like i said, long cds, SINGLE target stun, SKILL SHOT.

Scaling cdr runes, 5% mastery, 1 item (Frozen Heart) and she's at max CDR not that hard for tank Elise. Tank Elise also doesn't have an issue going into melee range at all.

Your original post just says "long cds" which she doesn't have.

I think she is still good too if you take the time to adjust to her changes.

I am not a big fan of building a lot of health on her though. From my personal experience building a lot of health/tank on Elise is very feast/famine. If your team is doing well, you will do great. If they are doing poorly, you will likely be doing to worst.

The thing with Elise is to make plays as early as possible, just like with Lee. With that being said, Elise scales much better to late game than Lee if you build tank and Abyssal for dmg.
