I really like Amumu and Volibear. I kinda feel the reasons i like them is because they are tanky, and have good cc, and teamfight potential.

is elise gonna be good for that?

Shes at the very bottom of win rates for champs but shes good if you can learn to play her well i personally love her.

Elise is... not tanky at all and doesn't contribute much to teamfights. She used to get free Armor/MR in her spider form (sort of like Shyvana), but they decided that was drastically OP for a burst caster and removed it.

For Tanky+CC, try: Braum, Jarvan, Leona, Malphite, Rammus, Sejuani.

Yes, but she's kind of lacking at the moment as far as damage goes.

shes not tanky enough, has low cc, and low team fight potential.

You can actually pick her up and she will become good sooner or later. Then become bad again. Then good again...

Elise is more of an assassin than a teamfighter. She doesn't have great CC (only her Cocoon E in human form) and the majority of her abilities are single-target. The only one that can AOE is her W in human form, and that doesn't do a ton of damage.

Elise is best when you can use her as a finisher. She has surprisingly good mobility if you've practiced Rappel. (it can target any enemy or neutral monster and can be used to jump walls.) Her Q in spider form does damage based on the percentage of health missing which makes it capable of smashing down already wounded champs, and her W in spider form gives her vastly increased attack speed and some healing. But her base abilities are low and in human form she don't contribute much so a healthy camp has little to fear from her.

I like her, but I understand why she has such a low win rate. She's extremely tricky to play well, and few take the time to learn how to excel with her since she isn't great late game.

She's not innately tanky or an exceptional teamfighter. She is more of a skirmisher and early game assassin.

You can be fairly tanky if you build her as a dedicated tank but you won't be very impactful in large scale fights unless you cocoon an enemy carry in a bad spot for them. Elise is all about setting up picks in the jungle or when sieging with her cocoon and has some of the best level 3-5 gank potential. Because of the jungle changes and her nerfs though she sees less play and effectiveness in solo queue. I think she is still good but perhaps outclassed by some more OP jungle picks that are easier to play with fewer weak points cough Jarvan
