Well the nerfs mostly took away her power at mid lane to bully casters but also on other lanes she had been a pain.

With her old 'W' she had been able to completly dominate mages at mid lane. Reducing 65% of all incoming damage while also dealing a lot of damage and being imune to cc had been insane. Her Ult basically took away all counterplay and her 'E' stun lasted an eternity.

The reason she still is a decent pick depsite the nerfs is that she is the only bruiser who got a medium range gap closer, a reliable long range stun and a ranged ult with good burst potential and a considerably good slow.
