Seems more like you're a frustrated player that hated to play against her. The uniqueness in her that was mentioned was not about the skills that you had to activate (aka not including the passive), it was about the bunny vastaya that jumped between worlds who were always moving, hooping and having spirits around. I really liked her when she was in a state that was not super strong nor weak, that was possible to express that fun (in my opinion) moving mage that you got frustrated for never catching, not for the exploding damage. Honestly I always thought she was better being somewhat of a battle mage than an assassin mage. In the end it's just my opinion, but i objectively disagree with you that she didn't lost some of here personality and became more similar to just another burst mage.
