Eh her bad early is more a result of items in S4 and mastery changes, not because anything was done to her or any specific champion. The big bad bullies of S2 and S3, Graves, Cait and Draven haven't been nerfed at all since S3, and all three of them were very easy to shut her down in Lane. The thing that really made her shine is probably the fact that she has no mana cost on her Q and items/ masteries make it a lot easier to farm or survive. Hell, Vayne, known for her horrible early game doesn't have a bad early game in the slightest anymore.

The problem with her is that she either needs her safety taken down or her ability to deal damage needs to be cut down. Being a hypercarry with huge jumps capability and by far the safest escape in the game (Even TF destinies aren't THAT safe), on top of a good early and mid game is just a very glaring issue with her.

I suppose it's more me thinking that if you're a hypercarry like Kog or Vayne you realy shouldn't have in addition to that one of the best escapes out there.
