I wouldn't actually says she's that forgiving.

She gets ravenous hydra second item and in a lot of builds she doesn't get it at all albeit she usually does get some sort of lifesteal. Early game her health regen is not great and her e is on a ten second cooldown.

I think it's fair to say that most toplaners have some sort of dash so it's not accurate to say that just a 0.75 second stun (which stunlocks herself for around 0.3 secs?) and a tiny dash is enough to escape without being punished in the way you described.

She's not seen in lower elos because worse players tend to struggle with all the mechanics which need to be juggled while playing her.
