8/30 PBE Update

Elise:

''Beauty is power too, and can strike swifter than any sword.'' 

Elise is a deadly predator who dwells in a shuttered, lightless palace, deep in the Immortal Bastion of Noxus. Once she was mortal, the mistress of a once-powerful house, but the bite of a vile spider god transformed her into something beautiful, undying, and utterly inhuman. To maintain her eternal youth, Elise preys upon the innocent, and there are few who can resist her seductions.

Maokai:

''All around me are empty husks, soulless and unafraid... but I will bring them fear.'' 

Maokai is a rageful, towering treant who fights the unnatural horrors of the Shadow Isles. He was twisted into a force of vengeance after a magical cataclysm destroyed his home, surviving undeath only through the waters of life infused within his heartwood. Once a peaceful nature spirit, Maokai now furiously battles to banish the scourge of unlife from the Shadow Isles and restore his home to its former beauty

Honest, moving Elise chores to Noxus didn't surprise me at all. I mean, she is friends with LeBlanc and Vladimir, so we can assume she works/worked with the Black Rose. I would die for more Black Rose Lore, tho.

Uhm Morde? You got a cobweb problem in your Bastion. Get some maid to clean that up?

They will most likely get their long lores once the Yorick Update hits live

So Elise has now become a predator in Noxus and Maokai didn't float away to protect a bunch of relics when the blessed isles fell

Not gonna lie, I kinda like the idea of a monster that stalks the streets of Noxus, but it removes some of the serious evil that was Elise.

Interesting, seems Elise is being moved away from The Shadow Isles and is now Noxian. Or maybe she left the Shadow Isles? I am having trouble determining that.

Assuming Vilemaw still exists on the Shadow Isles, and he is the monstrous spider that infected Elise, I guess her origin is unchanged but... I dunno, I wonder if there is a change coming.

Edit: Also, I don't want to jump the gun, but I'm unsure I like this direction for Elise. She seems kind of one dimensional if her whole thing is seduction/murder for eternal youth.

So is Elise still Shadow Isles? Or is she now full Noxian? Like, isnt the Immortal Bastion the Fortress of Morde in the heart of noxus prime? and that Spider god, where did she meet that? Is there sth like that running around in noxus? was she travelling? so many questions

So Elise is a spider-vampire now? A spampire? Yeah. Spampire.

uhm I kinda hate that they moved her to noxus... it's very... repetitive I guess, with Cass going through the same thing, she was bitten by a snake so now she's snakewoman... and swain almost being the same sans the bite, he's ravenman... no wonder kat, talon and riven are dissapointed, shapeshifters are invading noxus lol

No but seriously, Elise could perfectly come from Kumungu or even better, Demacia, as a matter of fact making her Demacian would make her facade of a priest even more impressive.
