I can answer that question, it's because people are dumb sheep (honor to the golden examples). When they see in an incoming nerf in patch preview they automaticaly asume: OMG champions x is nerfed, champion x is useless now.

A while ago her health regen was hit very hard and regrowth pendant got removed, yes she lost some power due to that event but despite that she is still capable of being very good fighter.

The very same thing happened with Olaf, you could see him almost every round in ranked, he was picked quite a lot, then came his ultimate and W nerf, he is still good but people are blind to that fact.

Something similar happened to Kha Zix. Everybody would say that he is weak and stupid, that he needed a rework and I quote: Worst sh*t that RIOT ever released. When players from Korea showed the world how to properly play him everyone went crazy about him.

To sum it all, people consider her useless because of that health regen nerf, even thought it does not change her that much, people will be sheep.
