Let's get honest here, this has a chance to be a popular, yet boring champion. And my prediction is that she will at some point be pushed to supporting, doesn't matter what Riot wants to do with her.

The passive just screams "roaming and warding/dewarding". It's also underwhelming, to be honest. The bonus should scale up or something, what is 20% when you can't use it most of the time? Come back to lane few seconds faster and don't use it again? No way. Ward and roam a little faster? Sounds better, but it's still kind of underwhelming.

Q sounds okay, not entirely broken/weak and kind of interesting. Sadly, the only ability that sparks this kind of hope. Creating a zone of increased movement speed once again sounds more like bottom lane than anything else, but i will be cautious there and say that it's going to work on other lanes good enough.

W is propably going to make a lot of rage moments. It's a strong tool, but its delay and size mean that it will be hard to use in a solo scenario. You'd need another CC from somebody else before that. But then again, it's working as an amplifier to CC already done. A strong one. So find a champion with point and click CC and you've basically created a tool of doom and a lane that can be ganked as long as there is any interaction between laners.

E is really, really, really slow. And considering the second detonation is just damage... meh. Its only efficient purpose will be blocking dashes, but oh boy that makes a difference. Ulting and then casting it over the wall forces anyone who's trying to dash over to take damage. But once again, otherwise it's a pretty dead ability. Not useless, but really underwhelming if not countering someone.

R is broken. Yeah, it is. Unless the passage is visible to everyone at the beginning of the cast, then it's fine. But if not, it's just a real doombringer comparable to Nocturne's ult, but better. No damage, but amount of movement and the wall are easily building up for that. If there is a really strong ability in her kit, it's going to be this one. TF's ult can be a d*ck, but if this one doesn't show the indicator, it's a kind of hell you can't prepare for.

People hate her quotes so far, but i didn't hear them yet, so i will not make any assumptions for now. She looks okay, even though i heard some people saying that she's "ugly". Not really sure why.
