I find that Elise Top doesn't work because she can't really do anything special that makes her interesting.

Her mana costs are hilariously high, she can cast like, 4-5 spells and she's out of mana.

She can zone pretty well specific Champions, but when she runs out of mana, she has nothing but to harass them with auto-attack and threatning them with R. If the enemy laner is someone naturally tanky or has a good amount of sticking potential pre-6, they can lock her down, and she can't really fight back.

And that's when she's best... After laning, when teamfights and objectives are being taken more often, Elise, as a Top, has one method of engage, her Cocoon. She doesn't much mana either, so she can't keep poking with W.

She is better in the jungle, but again, there are better junglers out there ( * cough * Sejuani * cough * Nocturne * cough * Vi).
