If anything, needs to get an even better laning phase to match her title of Grand Duelist. At the moment, she does reasonably well against certain champs like, but then she is borderline useless against the popular, competitively popular ones such as .

The only real way I can foresee her finding a place beyond being a pubstomper is to be able to go toe-to-toe against the really tough lane opponents. And then, she naturally will become a viable threat in more match situations versus just being a niche assassin.

Also, in no shape or form has a weak early game as people claim.
