Elise isn't great in a tank meta where the games get stalled out for a long time and her stun can't transition into a kill. In a meta where squishier champions become more viable, Elise will also become more viable again as a strong counter. That's why I'm saying she shouldn't be buffed right now unless it's a really small thing, even if she's not performing great for the majority of players.

For now, she works, but you need to get a snowball rolling, and that makes her both more difficult and risky than other picks. If you're really struggling, tankier Elise builds aren't unviable, although they rely heavily on the spiderform Q spam to kill anything other than an adc. Because everything kills adc's now.
