Patch History

V14.19
  • Spider Queen New Effect: Spiderlings are now restored to full health upon being summoned with Spider Form.
  • Venomous Bite New Effect: Now grants sight of the target for 0.528 seconds seconds from the start of the cast time. Spiderlings and Volatile Spiderling now dash to the target on-cast instead of upon Elise hitting the target.
  • Cocoon New Effect: Now casts from wherever the caster is at the end of the cast time. New Effect: Now grants true sight of the target for the duration of the disable, rather than only standard sight.
  • Rappel New Effect: Now always gains her Spider Queen bonuses upon descending, instead of only when descending directly upon an enemy by issuing an attack order.

Recommended build

What players actually run on Elise on the current patch: summoner spells, skill priority, starting, core and late items, runes and skill order.

Every entry comes with its pick rate (how often it is chosen) and, where available, its win rate. For runes, Most Played is the page the majority takes and Best WR the variant that wins most among those with enough games: when they differ, the second is usually the sharper choice, the first the safer one.

Win rate by elo

Elise's win rate in each rank tier, from Iron to Challenger, plus all tiers combined.

A champion that climbs with rank is usually one that rewards mechanics or game knowledge; one that peaks in low elo is often easy to pick up and punished by better players. Read the tier you play in, not the average. Tiers with no data for this patch are hidden.

Counters and matchups

A preview of the counters page: the five opponents Elise struggles against the most, and the five it beats most often, on the current patch.

Percentages are Elise's own win rate in each duel, with the gap to its overall win rate. The full lists, with every matchup that has enough games, are on the counters page linked below each table.

Patch history

Balance changes that touched Elise, patch by patch, most recent first, as published in the official patch notes.

The ten latest patches are shown, the older ones fold out. Use it to read the win rate movements above: a jump right after a patch is usually a buff or a nerf, not a change in how people play the champion.
