Her laning phase is painful. In competitive play there's simply no reason to take her over Alistar who can CC AND also support the lane partner by healing. She isn't on par with other solo top picks as well and she can't jungle very well. Riot is afraid of improving her AP ratios because they don't want another AP alistar, but really it's an unjustified fear. Until she starts healing and has an ulti that makes her an uber tank without any items, improving her AP won't make her OP, it'll just make her viable and not ignorable. But Riot is just too afraid to change anything because of this simple illogical fear.
