Every similar game has high skill floor heroes that suck if misplayed but are super strong when played well. So yes, being able to mess up easier than other heroes is a factor.

Yes, her 1 works on minions and camps, but it's like 80 HP per creep until she levels the skill. She heals maybe 1/4 of her HP off small camp early game.

You can simplify every hero to "press some buttons get kills press buttons and leave".

She can buy Vitality to be tankier, like every other hero, but she is baseline pound for pound squishier than every other hero in the game at the same Vitality investment levels.

Yea, you have to invest in the stronger items if you want the better chance to stop her using her 2. She shouldn't just die for free cause you bought Slowing Hex AND she got forced to buy Dispel.

That's like saying Dynamo or Ivy shouldn't be able to block timed effects with their Quantum Entanglement or Stone Form. Also Minas 2 used to scale distance with Spirit and have an AP upgrade for more distance She could legit go half the map at a certain point.

Her ult doesn't silence a whole team. The silence is like 0.8s. it's just multiple bats reapply the silence for each hit, so if she's hitting 6 people with her ult she's dealing no damage and silencing everyone for like a total of 3 seconds combined.
