riot buffed an aspect of her kit that has been sorely lacking since her creation, she did nothing past the laning phase in team fights if she couldn't leverage a huge advantage. this was ok in S1 since she rocked most of the traditional mages, she disappeared when assassins hit mid lane hard in S3 and the revitalization of long range ap mages like ziggs, xerath, pre-nerf grag kept her out much of S4.

The rework was 100% neccessary to allow her some free scaling so that she'd always be relevant late because of how much danger she needs to wade into without being able to itemize for tanky stuff beyond zhonyas and maybe a rylais or abyssal.
