She has relatively low damage in lane early on, both from her abilities and base stats. She lacks Caitlyn, Ashe and Graves' burst nukes and simply can't always win trades. However late game she carries harder than any other carry, even Tryndamere, and the reason is simply her range and 2 free Recurve Bows. That's probably also the reason Riot aren't too excited about buffing her. If she had a strong early game she would be the top carry.
