Maybe because she's hilariously powerful when fed and, as an assassin, she's easy to get fed? There are lots of reasons why weaker players or beginners would think she's powerful. Also, if you're unfamiliar with how she works, watching her throw out an ult to get a bunch of minions in a line while you're fleeing from her, and then blink-blink-blink-blink 6 times to catch up to you is quite frightening.
