I do believe assasin-esque gap-close + execute (elise RQ/ nid RWQ/ lee sin QQ) are used to gap-close regardless of whether it'll be the finishing blow.

But it do agree her buff is a little over tuned. I think her cocoon stun duration could be tuned back a little to, say, 1.4 or 1.5s, just enough to still be relevant, in the early game (because 2s is pretty good).

Damage(+Sustain): she has to be in melee range, and the bonus magic damage doesn't scale that well anyway. (30% (to 60% after Rappel) AP vs buying an AD item. pfft plz. no need to complain)

I actually like the sustain rework. Being /that/ dependant on spiderlings and skittering frenzy to heal does not sound good.

I don't think she has reliable escape. offensive rappel does good damage. defensive rappel is reliant on the presence of a nearby target in the right direction. same with spider Q. Hence, she's pretty vulnerable to focus fire once she's in the fight, especially since she typically builds bruiser AP, rather than full tank.
