Let's talk about Elise

Hey everyone, hopefully this gets some traction as a discussion just as much as it is for my ideas but I just want to talk about Elise. She was my main champion for season 3 and most of season 4, I only stopped playing her pretty much completely just this season because I feel her nerfs and changes to the jungle have made her to be possibly the worst champion in the game. She doesn't have reasonable damage out side of early level's, no cc, no innate tank. Her only bright spot is her ability to snowball the early game before quickly falling off and even now her early power is outshone by champions like rek'sai, lee sin or even some of the tank junglers like sejuani. This is particularly sad for me just because I LOVE this champ. She is 100% unique, her combo's and kit fluidity are the most fun in the game (to me at least) and she is just a very entertaining bruiser/assassin to play. Plus she's a creepy and giant spider that bites her enemies to death. Always a plus. But, enough moping, here are some of my ideas on what her issues are and what can be done to fix them.

• Problem: Lack of kit identity. This is a major problem and significantly limits her. She is kind of a either Jack of All trades champ that does everything well (we saw this in season 3 and early season 4 where she was picked nearly every game) or a jack of no trades champ that does everything but nothing actually well. The latter is her current state.
• Solution: Riot, please choose whether this champion is a bruiser, assassin or mage. In her hayday she was all three and she was absolutely broken. Now she is kind of each but not truely any which leads her to feel pretty pointless. If she is intended to be a bruiser, please give her passive armor and mr back, possibly in a scaling fasion (it stacks off of building armor or mr for example) and give her back some base damages at the cost of reduced scaling. If you do this, please rework her human form W into a slow of some kind instead of an ap nuke ability. If she is a mage, give her more burst from her human form (preferably and make her spiderform more about follow up from that with scaling changes, maybe make her spiderform W a burst ability rather than sustained damage auto attack steroid). If shes an assassin, then increase her single target damage, make it so she actually can 100 to 0 someone when she gets fed. Put single target damage steroids onto her kit. These are just my thoughts on what to do, feel free to add and criticize. I just want to be able to play the spider queen again.
