I played elise so many times that I lost track and am fairly sure I have over 100 times pre-nerf, after her nerf I played her once and saw what you all meant by her rappel being "buggy". It isn't buggy, they changed her rappel to feel more natural instead of seemingly following them when they move, which doesn't make sense when you know how a spiders decent works.

Your bullshit arguement about how it should work the same way as Yi, Maokai, Diana, Akali and Nocturne is completely pointless considering all of those Gap closer abilites are dashes, Yi's Q, Maokai's W (which snares when he hits them), Diana's ult, Akali's ult and Nocturnes ult, they all in some dash towards the target or "teleport on top of them" if you prefer. Jayces Q is a gap lcoser in the whole essence of the word but it only works so well with his E is because the knockback stops them from moving for a split second which allows the correct use of his Q and will slow upon hit, where as Elise's Rappel is not a dash, it is a gap closer that specifically states in the ability that is ascends straight up and descends straight down, not descends left down, right down, diagnoally down etc.

So many of you have complained about her rappel making her unusable and "ruining her combo", it hasn't ruined her combo in the slightest, all you need to do is change how you combo her instead of consistently doing the exact same combo over and over again. pre-nerf I would go EQW R QW and if they attempt to get away, I can E on them, but now I have to rethink her and use her E at the perfect moment instead of using it immediatly and potentially waste it. Let's say your in lane and you land your entire combo on the enemy champion closer on your side of the lane and they try to get away, you're going to rappel to them aren't you, but instead of rappeling on them, why not rappel onto a minion that is further ahead of them to keep up with them easier and lay down more damage. You should be adapting to the nerfs instead of whinging like a bitch about them and not thinking of a way around it.
