She is balanced. They specifically nerfed her autoattack damage scaling so Rend could be her gimmick. They also nerfed her core items (BotRK and Runaan's Hurricane), at least for the way she wants to play. The change to her passive in regards to slows also means that Frozen Heart hurts her ability to kite more than just reducing her attack speed and Nasus/Nunu/Zilean almost completely negate her ability to move while attacking.

With how much slows hurt her now, she's almost forced to get Frozen Mallet to counteract any Frozen Hearts or other slows on the enemy team, and it offers half the AD of normal ADC items. This doesn't apply quite as much when the team is coordinated enough to peel for her, but it can still be an issue depending on team comps.
