I'd disagree about her needing nerfs. In spite of the fact she's a strong pick she is a CC reliant mage with smaller damage than most burst mages and her strongest CC (outside of her ultimate) requires you to be fairly close.

Honestly, after playing her for a bit, I'd say her largest selling points are how safe her laning phase is and how difficult she is to chase as a fight winds down. Your Q can hit the opponent through the minion wave while not pushing it exceptionally hard like Vel'koz or mordekaiser. After level 6 you have a Zhonya's built in which is especially good at mid because of how burst oriented most mids are. Being chased you can use your Q, your W as they close in or blow a gap closer, or fire your E in the opposite direction you're running and blinking if they chase you/not blinking if they chase it. The last one especially makes you nearly uncatchable in certain situations.
