I play her mid sometimes and I do fine. It depends on what you build on Elise and who you're facing. Talon counters her hard cuz of his through-minions-poke. She can out poke Nidalee though easily. Nidalee is food for a well played Elise. Most people go top with her because her range counters melee. The thing is though, she pokes harder than most mid champions because it scales off health. She's not the best choice mid, but she's not bad. Twisted Fate, if built and played right, beats her. Same with Katarina, even Akali. BUT she is best top. She's a counter for tanks, and AD carry's so bot could work, but I wouldn't recommend it. I've gone bot a few times, and I won my lane, but I didn't do as well as I normally do. Top is her best lane. Though she's a much better mid than Riven (yes, I've seen it happen. I played mid against it. It was horrible on Riven's end. Had to have a 3v1 and still couldn't get me lol) Her spider form is actually mostly why she isn't played mid. It's heavily melee reliant so mid champions counter you in that form, plus the only tank item you should go on her is Rod of Ages for sustain, so you're kinda screwed. But it is possible. I've gone mid and won my lane and the game. Multiple times. And I'm not saying 3 times kind of multiple. More than 10. Elise goes mid if no one else can or will.
