As much as I like her, there is no deny that she is OP. Her sustain & clear time are godly. Her gank is good all game & her onjectives control is way better than her nearest competitor at this (Kha'Zix). Elise in fact can be built tanky (pure tank except sorc shoes) and still put out decent damage (not like HUGE damage as people said, but it is much higher than pure tank Lee Sin or Eve). Long gone the days when Haunting guise & Rylais are considered her "core items". An Elise with Sorc shoes, Ancient Golem, Randuin, Banshee, Thornmail and finish with Abyssal Scepter are really tanky with damage that makes Wukong or Pantheon late game cry of envy.

You can say " I don't give a shit about ban rate in pro plays". On the other hand, Riot gives a shit about that, and don't give a shit about your opinion. There are FoTMs that come and go, despite no huge nerfs (Nami support mid S3, Olaf jungler and I believe, the current LeBlanc train as well), but Elise isn't that. She was nerfed many times in the past, but the problem is Riot keep nerfing the other as well (J4, Sejuani, Nautilus, Aatrox, Zac) which inevitably brings her back at the top spot.
