I wouldn't call it the BEST in the game. It's severly overrated and blown out of proportion by most people who haven't played her. I mean, it's a nice passive no doubt, but IMO there are other much more appealing passives like Anivia's which gives you a free GA on a 4 minute timer or Nasus's which gives you a fully stacked Bloodthirster's worth of lifesteal or Poppy's Vailant Fighter which reduces the damage of burst mages by a full 50%, and several more better ones....

Her spells are balanced and each still have their own weaknesses and conditions. There are a whole lot of other bruisers too who deal excellent damage with tanky items, and she pays a price for this as well due to the fact that her damage does not scale, making her slowly weaker the longer the game goes on after level 8. She's not immune, she's just resistant. Olaf is immune. Mundo is nearly as resistant as her as well. The not escaping from her comes only after she's invested in her Trinity Force, which is just an item that any champion can buy, and considering it's the most expensive item with the most number of individual pieces in the game, I don't think that's OP. Any champion with the Red buff can achieve the same effect as well.
