She's extremely strong. I do not know why, it's not a clear thing, not a single ability. She starts being a lane bully, she has high base damages, good poke, and a ridicoulous CC/peel ability. Then she builds AP+ HP items and is basically impossible to kill witout dying first, she's just too tanky. You know, when a lane bully has the ability to roam bot lane instantly something is wrong.

It's like vel'koz, you see this skillshot based champion and you think: well, there's enough counterplay, she must be balanced. But if she lands her E (not hard to land) you are f*cked. Counterplay to skillshots is very overrated.

So increasing ult CD is always a good way to nerf a champion when you don't know what's wrong with it. Not the kind of nerf I would have expected. I would have definitely started by making W's direction to be decided at the first cast, something like viktor's laser, because it is the most-versatile-and-forgiving cc ability right now.
