Playing against Elise

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

1

Her Cocoon (human E) is a linear skillshot with a long cooldown (14s) — if she misses it, she can't gank effectively.

2

Elise scales very poorly into the late game — if you survive her early game, you'll have the advantage past 25 minutes.

3

Her Rappel (spider E) can dodge your ults — bait it out before using your important abilities.

4

Place deep wards in the jungle to spot her early: she's extremely dangerous in ganks with Cocoon.
