she did not suck, she had extreme spell range, an auto attack that is somewhat unappreciated, a powerful shield that added armor/MR, as well as a disable and a slow/speed up. then add to that that an ally can become the focus of her spells like say karthus in the middle of the enemy team for instance or a tank like rammus and BOOM enemy team gone.

you could still do that now but it is much more difficult--yes she was OP.

also playing a very ranged character is different than playing a character that needs to be close to utilize all that power, so the earlier players did not suck they simply played her like a very long range nuker and not a close range AP/AS carry like riot wants.
