... but then she'd also be able to poke from the safety of her own tower, and it's not surprising that a kit like hers would be vulnerable to dives. Her vulnerability to tower dives would be lessened by her traps and net, but ultimately tower dives right now are strong simply because towers are weak, not because certain champions can't survive tower dives well. If she does get pushed back to her tower and forced to either farm or poke, then I think that's a clear success case for the enemy duo lane who managed to out-poke and zone her, so they definitely deserve to have that power over her in that situation. The advantage to poke is that, even if it's terrible, the fact that you can continue poking until you make a dent in the enemy team, given the proper comp, means that items don't dictate the effectiveness of poke champs as much as, say, dive and all-in champions, who only have a limited window of time to be effective before they die or are forced to back out. There would definitely be ways to set her behind, but she'd also have ways to catch up and stay relevant even with an item deficit.
