I honestly feel she's a bit weaker, both on paper and in game.

On paper, she's lost a LOT of power on her ultimate (Don't trust what the wiki says, she only throws 10 daggers, and the scaling is absolute garbage now), without it being compensated by anything. Her new w, which i happen to like very much, is actually taken from the power lost on both her Q and her E.

Her new passive was an outright nerf, considering that 15 seconds was enough for all her old abilities, and is definitely enough for her old w. Also, no bonus gold.

Her Q is now worthless as a harass, and her E's damage is now laughable, with pathetic base damage and less scaling than some of Leona's abilities. I do appreciate the ridiculous range buffs, though.

On the plus side, she definitely feels less snowbally and her ultimate feels less overpowered, allowing Riot to buff her numbers without making her overpowered.

She also makes a decent jungler, with super fast clear time, high mobility for ganks, and tons of damage.
