League of Legends’ Elise detailed, patch hitting beta, Rengar and Evelynn nerfed

LoL Elise

League of Legends hero Elise, the lady who loves spiders so much she can turn into one, has been detailed a bit more by Riot. You know you love the idea of a scantily-clad mage-assassin as much as the next person. But that’s not all: the latest patch has hit public beta and according to PCGamesN, Rengar and Evelynn are getting nerfed while Syndra is getting a bit of a boost. Changes to other heroes have also been noted, and to find out if the changes will make you happier than a witch in a broom factory or crankier than a bear trapped in a shoebox, head through the link and squeal or weep in kind.

Fusible reports Riot Games has been successful in a legal bid to shut down a League of Legends scam site.
