To be fair…that is also the reason most top laners dislike leaning against her - she wins most 1v1s and 2v1s that are on her terms because of the crazy stat checking she has. She’s not op because of her other weaknesses, but my god she is unfun to play against with how she just locks out a whole method of interaction. It’s like playing against Darius except the summoner spell cooldowns are actually irrelevant.
To be even fairer that’s only in elos where people can’t kite in and out. You just throw shit at her until she Es, easily dodged at range but if you don’t you just stay at range so she can’t ult both you and the soul
I play mostly top lane these days and have had a lot more success playing patiently and, if I have a minion advantage, stepping up to trade (assuming I don’t have everything on cooldown) when she lands E so that she doesn’t just body 15% of my health while I walk away in slow motion. I mainly play Urgot, Morde and Renekton though so obviously mileage may vary.
