All of the abilities and mechanics look really interesting. The ult is pretty funny, healing enemies as well as allies, and could make for a good anti-dive tool. Her passive would make her a really cool "berserker mage", but there is a huge problem with her form-switching: all of her human abilities have AP scaling, while all of her beast abilities have AD scaling (except for the shield). There isn't a terribly good way to build both AP and AD in League for a damage-focused champion. I guess you could build her like a bruiser in a manner similar to Jax or Warwick, but she would lose a lot of her bite in the late game. If you otherwise decide to stick to just AP or just AD, it would render one form completely useless. AP Netra would do a quick Ult>E>W>E burst rotation, and hope that the target would be low enough to get the kill 400-damage execute with the beast ult. AD Netra would probably just get kited, since the human form doesn't really have a way to get itself onto a target within a spell rotation.
