The current state of Elise

Riot, I'm a bit disturbed by the current state of Elise. Firstly, I know that she had close to a 100% pick/ban rate in the LCS, and obviously you have to change something if that happens. Secondly, I'm using LoLKing to justify this, and win-rate is an ever fluctuating statistic that is only a rough indicator of a champion's strength, so I can't say "X champion is OP because win-rate". Thirdly, she's on free week right now, which means statistics on LoLKing are not entirely accurate because of new players trying her out.

But ever since the last nerfs she has had a very low winrate, roughly 45%. I've already stated that she needed nerfs, but you didn't do anything to solve the core problem Elise still has which is her massive fall-off in the late game. Now her early game isn't as strong either, robbing her of the one thing that made her an almost 100% picked/banned champion in the LCS: she crushed in the early game so she would never make it to the late game.

But now that strength has been taken away and she's in a bad state. And as a person who played a lot of Elise top last season, I really hate all of the nerfs to her human form Q. Though it might have a short cooldown and a %Current health ratio, it has poor range for a mage spell, poor base damage and a very high mana cost. If anything, a few small buffs to her human Q could help out her late game and even bring back lane Elise, such as Elise top or Elise mid.

I know a lot of people aren't fans of Elise and believe the nerfs were justified, and they were. But there was no compensation to help her other problems and now she's in a bad state in all of her former roles. All I'm asking for is a few small changes to try and help her out.

TL;DR Elise could use a little love to help fix her late game problems.
