This was actually the first champion I bought (I liked the whole fencing ace thing). I still pick her when I just want to roll face as melee AD. Doesn't even matter how poorly I might do in lane. Just rush Hydra then hyperfarm a full AD man-mode build (BTx2, IE, LW, with either Mobos or Zerker boots). Jumping into a team fight and getting silence or CCed before you can ult is pretty much death with almost no defense to fall back on. However, if that doesn't happen then you're killing at least one person and dropping everyone nearby to 50% or less. Plus by the time you come out of your ulti you'll likely have healed back to full.

I almost never see her played by other people though (even when she's on the free champion rotation) so I often get the impression that people just aren't aware of her potential damage output. If you can work that poke with Lunge and well timed Ripostes then hitting lvl6 is almost a guaranteed kill on an opponent that isn't pushed into their tower.

I really enjoy playing her despite the fact that I never feel particularly skilled in doing so. The formula is really simple. Lunge in, pop steroids, and kill them before they kill you (or escape). There is no subtlety to this champion. She definitely has her weaknesses, isn't particularly well rounded, and doesn't come with any real teamwork type skills, but god help anyone who gets jumped by her...
