She is the strongest top right now imo, she will get hit a bit with the item changes but...I can see the new items benefiting her a lot as well.

Think about Tabi, Trinity force, Wit's end, Zephyr, Bulwark, Guardian Angel (not as efficient to get as before with less hp and stats. replacable with Randuin's). Loads of def stats, hp, and attack speed. Oh and some CDR. Always good. Total of 125 bonus armor (more if Randuin's). And 130 mr. Decent. Oh and a lot of attack speed.

Or Mercs, Trinity, Wit's end, Warmog's, Atma's, Guardian Angel/Randuin's. 115 bonus armor, 65 mr. and a lot more hp than the above build.

So while I don't think she will be as powerful as right now, being so tanky with GA mid game is just silly. I believe riot did want to fix the mid game GA problem. She still has lots of options
