^ Wiping out her power in lane is not a solution: it's wiping out her power in lane. They hemmed her completely into the support role and couldn't stop using the phrase "healer support" during the interview, they never acknowledged those that took her into solo lane other than by hinting at it with saying how strong she could be there.

Effectively, unless you posses Ludicrous Precision and can use karthus skittles that take 3x longer to land, with a 4-6x longer cooldown, she's now useless in a solo lane since her pushing time was gutted - the cooldown is 80% longer, still needs three casts to kill an entire wave so we've went from 2.5 - 5 - 7.5 to 4 - 8 - 12 seconds to clear EACH wave at level 9, even longer if it's a cannon minion wave.

Her E is effectively the same but with a much shorter cooldown due to the fact most can walk out of it unless you have someone else able to land some form of CC - The snare's existance is effectively mute because you can walk over the entire length at 285 MS without getting caught.
