Imagine having only 1 or 2 offensive items while other items are pure defensive items (thornmail, Force Of Nature and such). And with that build you can do damage as much as you want since you rely on your true damage which can't be reduced. You can heal from turrets which only Irelia and Xin can do since they heal from every attack, not from lifesteal.

Buy tenacity and watch as every stun on you last less than 1 second. Get trinity for the LOLZ. Buy attack speed for even more LOLZ.

She can be flimsy in beggining. Hard to play early, once you get your defenses, faceroll time.
