I apologize. I did not explain properly. Of all three phases of the game, her early game, IMO, is the time she is the weakest/most vulnerable. It is the window during which she must be punished so that she cannot scale on time into late game. post-6, her ultimate can turn a fight around you thought you had and it only gets harder the longer into the game she goes.

And yeah, you are right. She is very strong in all game phases, even early, if played very well. But a snowball champion without a good early game wouldn't make much sense, would it? Lol :P
