Elise is NOT weak.

I get kinda upset whenever i see someone state that Elise is a weak champion and can not assassinate champions anymore. I get upset because i know this is not true. The truth is that she can one shot any squishy champion and can completely shred tanks. She deals damage in a way that you need to use your skills in a specific order to deal the most damage possible, giving her a higher skill cap than people think. If you use your human form Q on someone who is at 1/4 health of course its not gonna deal that much damage. It deals damage based on how much your current health is. Same thing with her spider form Q, it will deal significantly less damage to a full health champion than to someone who is half dead. The people that call her weak have probably never played her as a damage dealer after her nerfs. They most likely looked at the nerfs and though "that champion is dead i will never play them again until she is buffed." So i ask you, try out a champion before you judge them. You may even find your next favorite champion.

Although i understand how passionate you may be about your Spider... After experimenting myself, and watching top tier players.. I think you should understand that Elise does not have a very good place in the current Meta/Season. I'm sure that you have fun playing her. But if you reach higher level play... You will see people playing around her ability.

Shes a cool Champion and shes not weak but she doesn't really fit into the current meta.If she goes full AP shes to squishy and just gets blown up and if she goes tank she does no damage and has no real cc so shes kinda completely useless

I personally just think she needs a slow on her spider-splosion ability and she will be back in the lcs doing what she did before (assassin to support). I have not had a good connection lately on the interwebs, but I damn well plan on playing the hell out of her when my ping, client, and internet are fully aligned. What I have played of her she seemed like the Nidalee for the jungle, but now that Nid is in the jung as well she feels kinda lacking in the standing out department. I think that they should add more of a support/assassin feel to her, making her contrast more with Nid who is an assassin/support. I agree that her damage is fine and that she is fun, but Elise does need a little more work for when team fights happen.

TL:DR She is not lacking in the damage department early, just her relevancy later seems to falter too fast/hard.

because that 8% current/missing hp is totally gonna do anything. It does more like 5% with everyone starting at like 40 MR.

Hey if you wouldn't mind, share your Elise build. Show people if she is built right and played correctly she can be high teir.
