Srorberd: "No, Riot thinks that champons who already have the benefit of range should only be mixing it up in melee to finish off vulnerable targets."

Your making the mistake of thinking Elise is the same as Nidalee; Elise requires constant switching between Human and Spider forms to be Effective, Nidalee is effective in human form and compliments with Cougar form for take downs. Elise is half a champion in human form and half in spider form, thats why she gets her form at lv1, she needs both to function even in normal combat

So with no resistances what happens when a squishy mage gets close to deal damage? Nidalee with her heals and superior mobility and mini flash still gets slaughtered in Cougar form, hence she is played as a spear bot, now just picture an all in squishy mage with no escapes and no sustain in melee.

@Jack the Plumber

So your saying you jungled Elise and only spent one 3 pots without help? Can you tell me your runes/masteries etc. I will try this out eventough i doubt she could survive blue and red buffs without help and manage until lv 4
