Elise can be a more unorthodox support, like Fiddle. She can function even without many items, because of her utility and her damage scaling with enemy health: http://i.imgur.com/DXh6Ccw.png

You're not "spending support item/ward money on AP items" because you only need some magic pen to make the most of Elise's % damage; the majority of your gold will still go to support items and warding. Don't dismiss new ways to play just because they break away from a champion's role in the meta.
