mid is generally the safest lane and the best lane to push towers down.

Elise is already a pretty safe laner, so mid lane's bonus is kind of wasted on her (meanwhile, now you need a second champ who does solo lane safely up top). Plus, she is suscetible to getting her tower pushed by traditional ap mids. Elise isn't an assassin that snowballs hard like akali, katerina, or fizz either.

Elise is really good at winning her lane, but she doesn't particularly leverage that well post-laning phase, so why are we giving her the easiest lane if the payoff isn't as good as it may be for other champs?
