Ok, let me clarify myself here. (But first, keep in mind this is only my OPINION and I don't want everyone to agree with me.) Also I understand that every nerf to your main/favorite champion feels really bad...


 * About the passive - you are right. It really defines her and shouldn't be removed or completely changed. But more skilled players can easily use this spell to swipe down the whole enemy team in seconds, revealing it's immense  power. They can even manage to use her ultimate twice in one team battle (if combined with CDR), thanks to this passive.


 * Now about the ultimate - it breaks her primary role of an assassin. As stated by Riot: "Assassin specializes in seeking out weaker targets and killing them quickly". Jumping in the middle of the teamfight and dealing bunch of AoE damage isn't really seeking out the weak targets.


 * About the ultimate damage & duration - yes, 2.5s is some time and your team will probably manage to stun her in that time, but even with their CC ready they won't probably stun her before 1s of her ultimate. Now let's say she has 400AP and her ultimate on rank 3. In that 1 second she deals 700 magic damage.

Isn't that a bit too high? Now what if she manages to deal it's full damage? That would be straight 1750 magic damage to 3 nearby champions in 2.5 seconds. Just by ultimate and no other spells! And if she has 30% CDR, after 2 kills or assists she can cast all her spells again! Including her ultimate!
