She doesn't feel like an alchemist at all. She mostly scales off AD, her cooldowns are too high, not too mention her passive doesn't have any synergy with the rest of the kit at all, and riot doesn't like free stat passives.

Q: relies on you to be right in front of the enemy, and you have no way to close the gaps in a 1vs1, so you're susceptible to getting kited. Also, since the heal scales off enemies health, its not that useful against carries, which should be your target. The steroid is pretty good though.

W: Same problem with Q, you'll get kited although this is pretty decent in teamfights. The scaling is a bit godly though.

E: Its nice, but the cooldown is too high for utility. You'll be punished hard for using the spells at the wrong time. I guess a ten second team buff (if they walk on the pool) is compensation but I don't think that's right.

R: Too strong compared to similar ults such as Amumu and Galio, the knockup and stun is already strong so the damage should be lowered, especially with that cooldown.

She feels like an AD melee with some utility, but gets kited easily, similar to Nasus.
