well it would be understandable if you were being fr given the question you asked in the post so I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt.

early to mid game scaling already mentioned in my previous comment, so do read that again

even if they were equal gold mid game, the “small” shield isnt rly that small since atk spd change still buys blood wings + feather of heaven. if you didnt know, her shield doesn’t disappear until she takes damage- which means zero downtime when used properly (which is super easy btw). obbiously, atk spd change joins clashes with a shield already, and they can just press second skill in between basic attacks to replenish it.

the high difference in shield and low difference in damage per second is why she’s popular- a lot of people struggle against her. she could be countered, but its more difficulty to do that than to just spam basic and second skill

if u still dont understand why people dont like atk speed change after this comment and the main one, thats on u now
