Not by her kit's design, anyways.

She is, however, horribly overtuned.

Look at her base stats. She's in the top 20 champions (actually around top 15 or so, actually, too lazy to count) for highest base stats on Health Regen, Health, Armor, AND Attack Damage.

She has 20% maximum HP shield every 20/15/10 seconds, whilst it only protects against one type of damage, that's still often a very significant Effective Health Increase. She also has a pretty significant heal on her W.

Why, exactly, are her base stats so egregiously high? Her kit seems extremely strong as is.

Riven has the same, or even stronger, depending on her build, on a much shorter cooldown, including a strong mobility spell, and shielding against ALL damage. Plus, hers is not dependent on attacking anything.

Nautilus wanna talk base stats? How about this guy? Oh, btw. his shield lasts for ages (camilles for a few seconds), doesn't require attacking something, increases his damage and scales better. Oh, it also shields against everything.

Yasuo I don't think we have to discuss his baseline stats either. His shield doesn't require him to do ANYTHING, other than running around, and other than camilles, it is reactive, activating automatically to prevent damage. Oh, and it blocks any initial damage, not matter how much.

Pantheon oh look, another guy whos baseline stats we don't have to talk about. He doesn't get a shield, he gets a block. Against almost anything. And he can activate it 2 times in a row. Oh, wait, if he plays correctly, even 3 times. And it blocks turret shots.

Sion So you REALLY wanna talk baseline stats? How about this fine gentlemen? His shield btw. also doesn't require hitting anything, lasts longer, explodes, and, what a surprise PROTECTS FROM ALL KINDS OF DAMAGE.

Poppy baseline stats? Who needs baseline stats when you get free tankstats, becoming almost unkillable when under 40%? Oh, but wait, there is also a free shield, that doesn't require going into melee range, is a shorter cooldown, scales better, AND PROTECTS FROM ALL DAMAGE.

And all those abilities are just shields my friend. We are not even talking so far, about the wide, beautiful world of sustain, tankstat abilities, refelects/blocks and damage-reduction abilities that are ABUNDANT on toplane.

She's not broken or overtuned.
