Orig Post: Okay, I was tired when I made this, so I'm a make this a littl more clear.

Q: Okay, not the easiest thing to dodge, but it is her main damage output in between ulting, and its ranges isn't too fabulous for a harass mechanic, considering going in to use it can be counteracted by a katarina Q or Zyra Q and sometimes Q+W. Its also not cheap, its 90 mana per orb, spamming it to keep it up to wait for an oppurtunity is just going to make you OoM

W:Cast animation is way too long, and the range feels shorter than it appears to be. I played her and only ever got off 1 W, and when I played against her, I never been hit it with it either, a simple serpentine movement can easily evade it.

E:Situational as fuck, it has no use in mid lane unless ur fighting a melee champion, otherwise, its useless and the stun is too tricky and unreliable, and also obvious to the point where sidestepping isnt a problem, just dont be in alignment with her and her orb isn't going to hit. And since it needs the orb, ur wasting 120-140 mana to TRY to stun someone, and with the setup, its not going to happen unless ur in a bush and wards are no where to be seen.

R: Only reliable damage, and it has a bleh range, your not supposed to wast ur ult on a bruiser, someone who is more likely strapping on health and MR, its a waste of an Ult, its like Veigar ulting the support. Not only that, its really rare for you to have 3 orbs at a time for it to be most effective, and at 90 mana an orb, unless u have blue buff or a Rod of Ages and Athenes unholy grail at the same time, its going to get you OoM. In tight situations, your going to be bursted faster than you can burst them.
