Elise's human Q has a high mana cost, somewhat short cast range and already has poor flat damage. Lane Elise, whether it be top or mid has already fallen considerably in popularity, doesn't this seem like beating a dead horse?
Tentative changes.
Still I think Riot is trying to make her jungling slower as she gets twice as many abilities to use to clear the jungle. QRQ for 600 monster damage is pretty good
Well...she gets some utility buff lategame for it, so i think the powerchange is quite the right direction - as her early game dmg is kinda ridiculous right now. If it turns out to be a bit overkill i´d rather support to give her some ms buff on the w or some more defstats on her spiderform instead of just giving her back the burst - as burst offers no counterplay.
I agree with you on this one. The amount of damage they are doing to her early isn't even being compensated anywhere in her kit. Admittedly, its PBE so it isn't final, so they might improve her late game or scale back the nerf a bit. I think they're doing a bit too much in Elise's case and in Kassadin's case. They entirely gutted Kassadin, hell his ult doesn't even have an AP ratio anymore or increase in strength with stacks anymore. I really hope they change those things before pushing them to live, because I feel it seriously seriously injures those champions viability.
Are you joking? That's a really funny joke, cause if you don't realize her damage potential early-mid game on tanks, then your not seeing the big picture. Her damage is outrageous and her jungle clear is extremely fast considering the HP monsters have. Seriously, think about it.
