I agree completely with the second reply. If they brought her laning phase down to a more average form, she could definitely come out balanced. Her laning is so powerful that she will always snowball an incredible amount, and she snowballs hard due to her scaling and her ability to simultaneously become harder to kill and able to kill harder. That's why i'm glad they didn't nerf her damage completely and just adjusted it, and took down her health regen. The health regen won't be a problem mid-late, and the fact that she now has to choose between damage and CC will make her more manageable.

My problem with the post before mine with Trynd is that both of those things that counter him are extremely easy for him to reverse counter (wards and cleanse/qss if he really needs the item) and only available with certain champs/team comps.
