zhonya / luden

the slash is for either luden or zhonya depend on situation, not both of them. And my point still stand, she is blatantly weaker before the 4 items mark, there's nothing special about her to get picked. Weak laning phase, weak teamfight potential as usual, unless she used Ulti first and E those ball for massive stun, but then she will lose tons of damage. Not a poke mage, not a burst mage, only sustain damage on a much lower level than ryze and cass, but lack the mobility and durability to be effective like the said champs. People pick her for damage, not utility, and even then the utility you provide is meh at best.
