the problem is her late game. sure, she only has 1 damaging ability in human form. but that damaging ability just happens to deal more damage than any ult. now of course, you can dodge the spear. but there are a few problems with this. first, her spear is incredibly wonky/buggy. it often goes through minions, hits despite missing or even goes completely invisible, making dodging it impossible. its color scheme is fairly similiar to lane ground, making it hard to see if its visible, especially if you have trouble with contrasts (i do). and even then, noone can dodge every spear. not even pros. on top of that her heal is the only one that scales really really well (0.7 on a burst heal? nothing like that. other heals have 0.5 and less scaling. and the champions that have those heals dont scale well with ap either. on top of that her cougar form damage is high, she is very hard to catch, she has her traps for visions and huge armor/mr reduction and so on. she is very very strong, and banned a lot for a reason.
