@Riot Help Elise come back to toplane, like your current idea's with Vi.
Recently Riot is trying to open champions to more than one role. For example, the changes to Vi's kit so she will be able to trade off more in top lane. (where she was intended to be at her release.)
Like Vi, Elise was originally a top lane champion and after constant nerfs and changes she was pushed into a jungle position, where she thrived over the seasons. Now she is struggling to stay in the jungle for a couple months now, even with the recent buffs.
- Some changes to Neurotoxin will help her lane ability without making it overbearing.
Mana cost - 80/85/90/95/100 >>>> 60/70/80/90/100
Cooldown - 6 at all ranks >>>> 9/8/7/6/5
Magic Damage - 40/75/110/145/180 >>>> 40/60/80/100/120 (New: 30% of total AP, 4% current HP >>>> 8% current HP, Removed: % AP scaling)
- Give cocoon True sight. (Only reveal them to Elise and not allies, if you think complete true sight is too strong.)
- Give her back the armor and magic resistance back in her spiderform. 5/10/15 (first bonus starts if you level up her R at level 6.)
