She's supposed to be a toplaner? This is a Naafiri situation I think, Midlaners are gonna be all over her. (me first)

She’s actually more of a midlaner that can flex into top sometimes.

It says passive enhances her healing but none of the skills mention that they heal?

Otherwise as expected from an AP toplaner. Short range, high mobility low CD skill spammer and will inevitably join (as the last clip shows) every other AP bruiser with Rylai Liandry Cosmic the only viable AP bruiser items.

Allow me to clarify:

When she uses passive on champions, she exorcises a spirit from them, which follows her and heals her for a short duration.
The more spirits, the more healing and movement speed she gains.

Ambessa is going to be top at least, right?

Ambessa is top yes. I think her kit will be very appealing to top lane fighter players

Why another midlaner mage so close to Hwei's release?

Well she was originally being designed as a toplaner. While she was pretty fun to play, she was incredibly frustrating to play against for top lane fighters. At that time she had less burst damage (more sustained damage) and was a lot tankier. She was generally OP because of this, since she had damage, mobility, range and tankiness. We had to take something away from her, and tankiness made the most sense based on how her art/theme had developed. In return we upped her burst potential a bit as well. This change made her more fair to play against, but also pushed her more towards a midlaner rather then a toplaner. We didn't want to FORCE her into top, as the things we would have had to do would either make her less fun to play, or less fun to play against, so we just let her drift towards midlane towards the end of development.

On the brightside the next Champion release is a top laner, and one I think top lane fighter players will really dig

I think players that like any of those 4 champs will dig her
