As Neon said, passive was imbalanced - bad early game, god-like late game; I feel like this one will still promote hybrid builds, but focus even more on AS and on-hit effects than currently.

She has been buffed significantly in the areas she needed to strengthen her early game (lower mana costs, higher base on abilities), and AP ratios have been nerfed to balance her out further and discourage straight AP builds.

The slow on her Q was increased. Cooldown on E was decreased Damage and Splash Range on E were increased

Also, you obviously underestimate the difference Armor Pen makes early game and Maagic Pen makes against champs who don't gain MR per level.
