I personally don't know what to think of her, she seems strong, has a good set of abilities, can dish out "A TON OF DAMAGE" and has pretty solid amount of base health/defense.
Her laning phase is good, she has an "ok" jungle. Ganks are strong. And overall in a team fight, she can place a lot of pressure on the carry.

But she is not played a lot, nor played competitively (that I've seen)

SO whats your thoughts?
 
I like her, but it's either I rape or get raped by my enemy.

I two shot a fed trynd. It was pretty funny.

I've jungled and laned, and I've done decently well on both, but I wish her abilities did more damage. The only reason I use them is to do more damage on my next attack with my passive.

Her dash makes me sad because it doesn't really go far. At all. Her stun is the same way. I understand if it was longer it'd make her a bit OP, but it'd be nice to have something last on her.. lol

It really depends on your team most of the time too.
 
I haven't lost a game with her, unless my team fed. I ALWAYS jungle her barely ever solo top, because her sustainability isn't as good as say garen or some. I think she's amazing jungler with runes. I love this champ.

I have attack damage runes with her, and i start with a long sword and rush Last Whisper. People think it's a weird thing to do, but when we're level 6 and I have 125 AD with 40% armor pen, I REALLY hurt. :)

But I agree with you on that she doesn't have as much sustainability as say garen.
 
It takes a while for people to find the perfect way to play a champion like this. In the end, it will still most likely be powerful but niche, like Orianna and Lee Sin.
 
She's really good, but there are other AD champs that deal more dmg then her. She was an iffy buy for me
 
She has 3 stuns I do believe she is overpowered in that way. But she is underpowered completely when she is soloing a ranged carry or a ranged at all.

Yeah man, ad runes are the way to go, since she benefits alot off it.
 
Yup her dash isn't that good of a gap closer and that's really what makes a champ viable in competitive play IMHO.
 
She seems decent as long as you arent just versing a good ranged champion. Other than that she seems to get great damage output
