imho they should've nerfed her damage a little instead of nerfing her durability. she wasn't too durable to begin with and itemization will make her durable regardless of the base nerfs. the amount of free damage she has is huge though, together with the huge utility her ultimate has.

it's not like you can avoid most of her damage and it's quite huge,

(passive Q) + AA + Q + AA(+ passive) + R is really strong in setting up kills in lane and may force a cleanse, the only thing that might counter it is blitzcrank which is a non-sustain lane - so it's a high risk against a harrass lane which is sub optimal for a counter (anything that sustains has been nerfed into oblivion pretty much).
