Alot of champs do have costless abilities but lack her kill potential: Tryndamere, Rengar, Rumble, Renekton (just a liitle less). Her ability to kill and the lack of punishment for failing is what makes her powerful. The Q will do more damage late game because it scales now of total AD not bonus AD. At 18 her move (base damage) will deal 151 (61 from base AD) instead of 130. The only way she will do less damage is if she reaches high amounts of bonus AD (210 Bonus AD) but because her shield nerf she will be forced to tanky.

The mana bug was either caused because she was originally designed to have mana or when Riot creates a new champ they use the same base model.
