Elise is terrible right now. Her late game is so bad. She barely does any damage, and she remains squishy even when building her tanky.
Elise has a whopping 2.86% pick rate in ranked right now. This isn't surprising at all because she is useless late game and has a measly 45% win rate.
Give the queen some buffs.
Deep Terror Nami1 votesIf they picked her once in Worlds it would've gone up to 52% and people would be calling for nerfs; she may need buffs in reality, but Pros using a champion is half the reason people solidify them in the current meta. We're relatively close to the pre-season 5 changes which is throwing Junglers for a loop, so I think Elise will move around a whole lot on the pick rate statistics. I think the other junglers who weren't even seen this season on stage should get a shot, too :D I'd like to see Xin Zhao too.
MugenNightmare1 votesFunny she was highly picked last season, even considered a stupidly broken top laner because of her percentile damage.
Somehow i'm expecting the same thing to happen to Morgana next season...
Terchio1 votesPercentile damage is not that gamebreaking. Vayne can deal the same percent of damage after 3 hits, make it true damage instead of magical, and make it based on max health, not current health. She can then buy a Blade of the Ruined King, deal that damage every single strike as physical, and get 10% of max health on her active on top of it.
That all is of course based on base damages, which can be improved upon with AP. However, with the meta build not even focusing AP, I rarely even recognize it. Even if I did, she'll have to tank quite a bit regardless, and if she does that, might get the near 300 AP required to double that to 16%. Fat chance though, methinks, as she really needs her tankiness to contribute at all in teamfights. Meanwhile, Vayne can still do quite a bit of percentile damage with a stun of her own, a movement speed boost, a dash-type skill, and possible invisibility to boot. Elise simply doesn't have the utility to pull off a simple percentile kit with her mostly melee kit. She does have other tools, I'd say, but percentile means jack if you can't execute it.
exiledFromBadmen1 votesWUT? No late game damage? I make them 100-0 at late game. And I become too tanky. Yes, she needs some QoL buffs but she's really not bad. And SHE DOESN'T FALL OFF.
doubleguac1 votesI think she was overnerfed, but honestly, she's been a nightmare to balance since release. She's a classic case of a champion who has been bludgeoned with number nerfs because her kit is fundamentally overloaded.
