I'm liking her.
 
I apologize for the double post, but this is the legit one ;)
Just so happened that when I downloaded the newest LoL patch, it completely froze my computer when it was on 99%, and the eGO site and facebook made me double post.
 
Crappy champ so far. Played two games against her and she barely has much killing power.

I dunno I've seen one dominate a match (granted she got 5 kills before 20 minutes cuz she stole all my kills in the lane). But she might turn out like irelia was on her release, no one could play her and just fed nonstop but three weeks later when the only irelia's were ones that understsood the champ she was extremely potent.
 
After playing her some she's really just kind of average. So I guess well balanced? I've seen some good rounds and bad rounds for her so its up to the player to make her work right. I've also watched me friend make her insanely burst damage because he built her crits and he has a +33% crit damage rune page, but he builds EVERYTHING crits. Crit kassadin was hilarious.
 
She seems rather balanced to me. To do much damage she has to build lots of attack damage items like Bloodthirster and Brutalizer. Even while building items like those she doesn't do very well against teams with a lot of tanky characters. My initial feelings are that she could use a slight buff in some way to counter tanky dps, but she is rather balanced against the rest of the champions.

She really is the first real burst damage AD caster since Pantheon's changes which turned him into a bit more sustained. With enough AD you can get Broken Wings doing 200 damage per slash, adding even more with her ultimate. The one thing I think is strange in the spotlight is Phreak always uses his ultimate just before using the wave ability, when it should be used at the start of a fight to buff all your abilities then use the wave to take out enemies or massively damage them before ducking out of the fight as you are probably close to dead.
 
Lately alot of people ensure their fairly tanky too, not as many glass cannons as there once was so her damage output is decent but has a hard time keeping up sometimes. Having a trundle on the team allows her to carve through whoever he ults though, even if that happens to be the tank.
 
I've dominated every Riven I've come across, but there has been one who dominated me. Although, I was morde, and for some reason my hp was always full, and I couldn't hurt anyone. Stupid glitches..
