Perry Norman breaks down how to dismantle an Elise one-trick by reading her ganks and stealing her camps. He fakes a top-side contest, uses Fog of War to juke her, then pivots to steal blue buff, Gromp, and wolves on bot side. The resource denial leaves Elise 40+ CS behind by mid-game and secures a 25-minute win.
Here's how I used advanced jungle tracking to destroy a 70% win rate Elise OTP. In this clip here, enemy Elise ganks my mid laner with a red buff and 12 CS. That means that her entire bot side is up, and that tells me I want to invade her bot side. There's just one problem: my mid laner is dead and my bot lane doesn't have good conditions to help me with the invade. Fast forward 30 seconds, the enemy Elise ends up ganking bot lane, applying more pressure. So what I do here is I try to sneak this crab, which I successfully get, and then I try to play for the top crab because I'm not confident in the bot invade anymore. Elise makes a big mistake here by bringing her support and herself into the top side. I pretend I'm contesting here by walking towards the top side, and what I do is I use Fog of War to juke the Elise and go straight into her bot side. That's where she blundered. She thinks I might be contesting the top side, but I completely faked her out, and now I'm in her bot side, and I get to eat her blue buff, her Gromp, and her wolves, and now she's left freaking fuming here when she comes to her camps and she's like, "Oh no, what do I do? My game is screwed." From this point on, I end up being more than 40 CS up on the Elise throughout the entire game, and the game ends in a 25-minute stomp. Hopefully you guys learned a thing or two.
