I can't say much about Elise being an ADC, since I haven't seen the concept, and overally, I feel she isn't that good due to a rather slow attack animation and her attk speed steriod is only in spider form. (Which in case, makes her a melee ADC which in itself is very mediocre in League of Legends anyway.)

As a support though, I can say that Elise is very good at what she CAN bring to the table, but suffers from the fact she can't really bring anything else. Case being that Elise brings a ton of damage as a support since her base damage is pretty good. Her stun, while unreliable, is very good if you land it, and set-ups a lot of oppurtunities. However, damage is all she really can do as a support, and while that's still good, it's not verstatile enough to be a truly viable support in terms of being one as good as traditional supports or other damaging supports
