Her core playstyle is dead. She used to be a strong lane bully that could either max Q and become a DoT and poke monster or max E and duel anyone that was close enough, and that compensated for her being so skillshot reliant and easy to gank and focus. Now her early damage is dead, it's almost impossible for her to win trades in lane, and actually she doesn't even want to trade, why trying to play aggressive and use Q and E to try to harass when you can use it to poison and kill minions and get more stacks? The mid-game spike she used to have when she had built one mana item + Sorcherer Shoes and Haunting Guise doesn't happen anymore, she needs tons of stacks and AP to become a threath... is there a single reason one should pick her over Karthus or Ryze if he they want a late-game magical dps?
