Don't get me wrong, I love this champion!
Her design is amazing, her personality, her idea, voice lines, lore... Everything with this champion resonates within me.
That is, with the exception of her kit. What is up with that? For every single one of her common abilities, there is a downside to it.
She steals Armor and Magic Resistance with her passive! But her attack speed is RIDICULOUSLY low. You'll take about 5 minutes to actually break down that pink ward! Even Jhin and Graves are envious;;
She'll deal damage on a straight line, and heal a friendly champion in the process! Except she need's to be connected through her E abilility, plus her heal is only noticeable if your ally in on the brink of death;
She'll engage with an amazing area, and gain a shield in the process. But her movement speed goes down to 200. No seriously, she becomes a living turtle. Good luck keeping the chase on that ranged ADC!
Her E is a nice Armor and Magic Resistance boost to you and an ally. Plus, a great stun, comparable to Irelia's. However you can't switch your ally quickly in the brink of the fray, and even if you place your E, you still got to wait for it's cooldown to pop it, and by then, everything is already in another position. Have I even mentioned that it only works IF an ally is nearby, otherwise it is a dead ability?
Her ult is the only part of her kit with no downsides, and it is pretty impactful. If everything aligns together.
Well, despite this, the champion is impactful, if your ally knows how to work with her. However I do still think she is quite undertuned, specially compared with other modern champion and reworks. There's too many hoops to go through, and you're covered in clad iron.
I'm bringing this post in order to listen to the community in respect to her. I'd like to know how (if) you guys play her, and why you do, or do not do so. Please share your opnion :)
