True. With her passive she is definitely not going to have a huge impact early on, especially in a lane. I still feel like if she is safe enough in lane, she can farm up to the point where she does lots of damage anyways - anyone can DPS with IE+Shiv Bloodthirster. It's more about having the opportunity to reach that point. Usually for marksman, it's being able to safely farm while not allowing the enemy team to snowball on you.
