The issue is that she's essentially an AP bruiser. But, she needs damage items to even stratch the enemy and lacks a lot of utility to make up for it.

Build her tanky, and she is -almost- worthless (the only CC she has is a single skillshot stun), and build her glass-cannon, and she melts instantly. Unlike Diana, Elise has a weaker burst and no AP-based shield/defense like Diana has, so she cannot output as much damage within the same time frame.

I guess it's more of a kit thing than her actual ratios, although her Q is also painfully weak ><
