She could definitely use some changes. The damage ramp up on spears makes her have way too much variability, her traps are at the top of the list of "unreadable spells" ("they shred HOW much stats?!"), and of course Passive + Pounce is one of the more reliable escapes as it has virtually no CD.

I would alter spears to have less "lol max range spear, you have to base now" and be more consistent poke like Jayce. I would give the traps a useable slow and lower their duration significantly. I almost want to say the heal is balanced. Her ulti is hard to say, she needs it to have execute ability, but as it stands the escapability is mighty frustrating.
