"Mobile burst mage"

Mobile compared to whom? She's slower compared to all other mages aside from Anivia and posesses no dashes or teleports like Ahri or Leblanc or Gragas.

"Farm minions, poke from a distance"

Ok, so she's not an assassin and as a result Riot compensates her with fair farming capability. I've played her and noticed that her q,w, and e ranges aren't phenomenally long nor are they particularly very strong spells. When you say long range poke, do you refer to the interaction between E and any orbs is touches? I do agree that's pretty good, but it seems hard to control imo.

"teamwide cc and burst"

The only thing she has on Veigar's or Viktor's stun is that her's can potentially cover more area, but it requires much more preparation.

It really seems like the interaction between her E and placed orbs is her true strength. I think Riot may have nerfed her so much in test simply because of this long ranged stun. It's nice, but they may have hit her too hard in other areas simply to compensate for this tactical advantage that many, may not even pick up on.
