Elise is kind of meh. I mean the untargetable web is neat, but she doesn't offer a lot besides the whole can't catch me thing. She reminds me alot of shaco.

Yeah, because this random 1200 elo player knows how to balance the game better then obviously Riot.

tanky dps elise?

Yeah, she kills you without building damage items because of the buff.

It's not that they only buffed her ratios, meaning her scaling with damage items. Elise without damage items is nearly the same as before.

Elise is actually still pretty forgettable.

... you do realize the only thing they really buffed WAS her AP ratios, right? This means that when she buys AP items she does slightly more damage than before. If she doesn't buy "damage" items she does EXACTLY the same amount of damage as before. If someone builds her pure tank, they get absolutely no benefit from the recent "buff", except the minor QoL changes to her damageless stun.

While the minor buffs helped out her AP builds... slightly... there are still "clunky" parts of her kit that hold her back; particularly the delay on spider W, bad ai on spiderlings, animation delay on rappel, etc.

She is slightly improved (and only if you build lots of AP on her), but I still think she needs some QoL fixes. No more real buffs... just those few issues corrected.

Pff elise sucks, she gets the same damage on attack through AP as Teemo does (adding spiders and darts dot), is just as squishy as he is, with out the benefit of an escape mech, ranged sustained damage, disable that you can actually use while fighting (her human E will be gone by the time you are on them as a spider), being melee instead of range, no move speed bonus, and cant build for sustain since she needs to build life. So basically she is worst of than teemo on basically the same mechanics, she has some burst but if you can live through it (which is not all that hard) she is toasted.

Who are we talking about here? "another tanky dps that kills you without building damage items" is so severely accurate I'm unable to see the arrow, it's so small.

if elise shreds you, i wonder who else you have problems with. jungle wolves? level 1 soraka? nunubot?
