She's not OP, no. Of her two non-ult damaging spells, one has a fairly low cooldown and the other has no effect beyond damage; her plants deal decent damage but they're pretty squishy even to incidental AoE. Her scalings are also REALLY bad.

Her utility and her base damage, along with her strong lane presence and gank potential, make her a Tier 1 AP carry mid pick in my opinion. But she's not overpowered.

P.S. Been trying to think of hard counters for her. Literally the only one I've come up with so far is Swain; his ultimate will heal back the majority of her plant's damage, and due to her long cooldowns and skillshot-based damage he can run circles around her much as he does against Lux.

Anyone else... well, some can give her a decent run for her money. She doesn't absolutely destroy many champs in mid, she's just difficult to counter due to her range, fast clearance/farm and escape kit. This makes her a bit of a renaissance Morgana in my eyes - a safe pick.
