But is she, though? While she's an awesome niche pick, a lot of her power lies in mechanics that aren't particularly healthy for the game. Her Q is iconic, but is also toxic, and the prime reason why she's not being made more viable: on top of perma-slows being generally unhealthy, Frost Shot means any trade that goes in her favor can easily snowball into a kill, one of the reasons why and  got changed a while back. Despite being a late-game champion, a lot of her kit is built around her laning phase, and encourages her to play extremely passively instead of rewarding risk or interaction with her opponents. Her kit is one of the most original among that of all marksmen, and she deserves to see more play, but she needs to be able to remain the playmaking CC/utility ADC that she is now in a way that involves a less passive laning phase, and have CC that does not impact on the stability of her early game as much.
