WTf riot? 600 range at lvl 1 for a champ thats supposed to be "weak" early game?

Can build nothing but lethality/cheap ad items and get not only tons of damage, 100% crit and 4 utility spells at the same time? Did you guys even playtest this champion? Its so overloaded that its stupid, legit no reason to play anything else when this champion is open, you can even play it top and destroy ppl its stupid.

Her cooldowns are long, she has mana issues, everything is on a long delay (including her autoattacks), and she's squishy af.

I'm not saying she isn't overtuned, but she's not unbeatable, and she absolutely has a weak early game. If you only trade when her long cooldowns are up and play at range, that's on you.

She's not much of a lane bully compared to the likes of brand or nautilus.

For the same reason some adc's (like lucian for example) are lane bullys but are also hyper carries late game, because balancing logic does not apply to ADC's

I used to perma ban Pyke before but now I'll ban Senna especially if I get to pick later into the draft cuz then I can counter Pyke with Janna which is an old comfort pick for me. Also after I realized the new items actually killed my old build for carry Ashe support and even the runes didn't feel right anymore I was experimenting new ones and realized Ashe can mow her down pretty damn hard in lane, you just win those trades so hard; if she auto's you once and you auto her back you can just keep going and out trade her even through her stupid heals but then you might still end up in trouble if she ever lands that CC.

Did YOU ever playtest her? She's not that powerful.

Her Support performance is mid-line, ranging from #8 to #15 out of 28 champions,and her ADC performance is only due to the fact that as an adc she can have a hard CC support and lock down a target for 4-5 seconds using the support's CC.

Mega gimped Crits. Mega gimped attack speed.

Literally once she has Auto > Q > W > Auto > R'd, she's 100% on cooldown, and that might..... MIGHT kill one person. If you ever see her Quad kill, it's simply because she last hit 3 of them.

She's slightly overtuned which is more of a numbers thing(and thats mostly when she is ADC) other than that she is perfectly fine.
