I don't feel the same way about her. I mean the level 2 all in works only if your opponent doesn't respect the champion (wich can be the case of a lot of champions that aren't very popular picks). Her weakness is not so much the fact that she can get bursted down because she's simply squishy, but because she's super easy to gank, zero hard cc or defensive spell pre 6 when most mages have at least one of them. And she has poor wave clear which is not ideal for a mage. And she has to build tear, which gives you zero offensive stats for the early to midgame. They are way better mage at the moment, and since it's the frost queen claim era until they nerf the item, she won't be too popular since she doesn't benefit as much from this particular op item as other mages do.

Some rioter said that she was in a bad spot thematically, that her kit was hard to balance between early and late game because of how it works and that eventually they would have to rethink the whole poison interaction. So be patient, maybe when riot will ship a large scale rework of the mages like the juggernauts and adcs.
