She was pretty overpowered. Right off the bat her seed mechanic gave her fantastic zoning while being completely free in mana cost so if she planted a seed right on a key spot, the only way you could get rid of it is to basically walk in it and risk getting nuked should she just activate the seed.

The other issue was that her damage was just too good for the utility she provided. Ziggs has an ultimate that has similar range to hers yet her provides both more utility and instant damage. Same goes for her snare: a piercing line snare. No other champion besides Lux has that and even Lux can only hit the second target for half the snare duration. Along with seeds this made it a ridiculously powerful utility skill.

Overall her nerfs were well deserved. She had practically no weakness besides the lack of a dash but honestly, flash is more than enough for most champions like her.
