Rokoshy : "people are building tank elise and still dealing a lot of damage"

posts like this can be missleading espicially for those who didnt play the champ in question or played it but dont have enough knowledge about its core aspects yet as it lacks details, too general and somewhat wrong in elise case.

elise, as i said above,  is a champ whose core aspects require her to invest in many states but with a thin red line between each of them ( kinda like morde but better than him in utilizing her build becuase he have some anomalies to be fixed mainly his Q ) so investing just a little more in any of these states will results in :

1 - being ineffective, if you build extra tankiness your damage will suffer espicially against a squishy since, as we all know, current and missing health based damage is not effictive against them unless it hits 24% and above in elise case ( or half of it but with khazix Q cd and scaling base damage ) which is exactly what you will miss if building tanky plus dps form her spider form and spiderlings enough for the marksman to heal through your damage ( both burst and dps ) and laugh at your waisted effort.

2 - being squishy, if you build extra damage and cdr you will prone to dying from others while you focus the carry before killing him and trust me losing more than half of your health to a support burst is just stupid as a mage/fighter.

thats being said elise IS expected to balance between good tankiness, burst and dps without being extreme in any of them ( typical mage/fighter type ) and if you want someone who does this to an extreme op level ( i mean by that those who mix two roles extremly well by just building one path or having the red line a lot more wider )  just look at fagtheon ( fighter/assassin ), bizz ( assassin/fighter ) and leblanc - no pun, wrong to insult a lady - ( assassin/mage ).
