User blog comment:Willbachbakal/(Champion Rework) Elise, the Spider Queen/@comment-8506165-20141218093938

She'll still end up being built tanky with this rework imo. With this she's forced to stick around a target for 2s to do her maximum Human Form damage and unlock a piece of her Spider Form damage in the egg implantation, then ideally she wants to wait for Spiderling explosions before using Venomous Bite to maximise her damage. So either she has to do this or she'll do very little damage, which means she needs to be tanky enough to survive her Q channel and meleeing someone for 3s, or this is just extra unnecessary power if she can easily kill someone without making maximally efficient use of her combo, in which case she's just an overtuned assassin and her numbers would have to be nerfed, and then we're back to the former situation. I don't think giving Rappel a reset is sufficient to make up for this amount of risk in playing her glass.
