A lot of my remake focuses on just giving small touches to affect the big picture of . Again, I think she is decent as a champ, but to be just OK in a sea of borderline-OP champs and cream of the crop is tough to get by.

In particular, I wanted to make  more vicious in the laning phase. I wanted her to be less mired by matchup problems (I am looking at you, tanky bruisers) so that she can practically snowball as she should be able to.

Comparitively, you just have to look at champs like and wonder why she sees more play versus. And there are many reasons, actually. is mechanically a superior champion.

She is manaless, does more damage (to multiple people as well), has utility, has dashes, crowd control and an ult with a low cooldown at the later ranks.

Basically, whenever people tell me that doesn't need this or that, I point to champs like  or  and ask, "And yet they exist in the game?"

In the case of, she needs to have a distinct niche defined for her and then readjusted (ever so slightly) to be competent at this niche.
