Don't listen to the people complaining about the range nerfs to her spider form E, they're just QQing. She'll still be viable, I mean, they're nerfing it by what, 100 units? Whoop dee do? Anyway, She's got good enough base damages that you can build a little tanky early and still do good damage. I personally like Rod of Ages as a first item on her, then get Liandry's Torment, and if I still need more health, get a Rylai's. Rod of Ages is only a viable rush though if you're ahead of your lane opponent, otherwise, I would go Frozen Heart. It's good on her. If your team is lacking a tank, Elise does an ok job of it, I personally prefer getting AP on her. I like Rod of Ages, Liandry's Torment, Deathcap, Abyssal Scepter, Sorceror's Shoes, and a situational item like Rylai's, Frozen Heart, Zhonya's, GA, basically anything you feel you need. She's much, MUCH better top than she is mid, however I faced a Syndra top as Elise once, and I dominated the lane, I went 6/1 laning phase. So there are some mid matchups she can easily win, but she's better top. Jungle she's got a decent clear, and if you're really good jungle with her, you hardly need to use your opening pots. Her ganks are pretty good if you can get that stun on your target, but if you miss, you're kinda gonna have a bad time. Hope this helps!
