Elise

Elise is an AP assassin in the support, and on patch 16.11 they grade out as a strong pick — a 52.2% win rate, 0.8% pick rate, 9,222 ranked games sampled. On the power curve, Elise is front-loaded: at peak strength early and falling off the longer the game runs, so the win condition is to convert early pressure into objectives and leads before the 25-minute mark.

How Elise wins: landing engage and starting fights on Elise's terms, and roaming out of lane to snowball the rest of the map. The kit grades 7/10 engage, 7/10 roaming, 7/10 mobility. Play around where Elise is thin, split-push and siege (3/10, 2/10), and the enemy loses their angle.

The most-played core build is Bloodsong, Stormsurge, Shadowflame, which holds a 52.5% win rate across 1,245 games this patch. Pick the enemy team to adapt each item slot to the specific matchup.

The matchup to respect is Galio, where Elise sits at just 39.6%, the lane swings the other way into Zed (59.4%), and on the team side, Elise gains the most from a Ambessa (+11.3% pair win rate).
