@Deshiba, Actually this does remove her only way to the game. She is a champion that relied on getting ahead inorder to do her job, her high scalings and low base stats is what makes her this way. With the changes, you effectively make her less powerful at early levels before she even starts snowballing and even if she did start snowballing she is further weakened (compared to her current state). So in simple words they made "a champion that relied on snowballing unable to snowball and weaker when snowballing". That doesn't seem all that right.

She may still remain playable, but to be honest she would be even riskier with much lesser rewards...Who knows maybe we'll see her be built like Renekton, Tanky CDR. But that certainly is not a good thing imo...
