IMO the problem is that once she engages she has no way of disengaging because of her abilites and lack of tankiness.

Combine that with the fact that solo queue is very disorganized and you have yourself a powerful but unfavourable pick. As you are really relying a lot on your team following up, which doesn't happen as much as one would expect.

Because of the fact that initiating as her is generally not a great idea you are limited to follow up engages, which she is not bad at, but is not ideal as her damage is inferior to other longer range mages like lux.
