Of course she was crowding out the others in her hayday, she had almost no downsides, but the overall adjustment to items pushed her out without them really touching anything about her. The issue before was she scaled too well with the items early due to her AD/AS scaling, getting an early lead she could push into the lategame LIKE THE CURRENT LETHALITY ITEMS ARE DOING. except, she no longer has access to proper AD/AS exclusive items, and her 90% AD attacks are counter crit synergistic. if they want her midgame to still be strong, just increasing the values per rank would even be enough to compensate for the loss she had before.

And she won't be crowding people out when she's competing with literally every other adc for the midgame atm. Unless, of course, they make her simply do it better.
