Alas, poor waterbender, victim of the GTV nerfhammer for so long. 

Multiple rounds of nerfing, as I recall, as I landed her back in the day but never had the GTV combo - but somehow Vela kept getting "rebalanced" despite her hardly being a problem even in her time, at least outside the infamous combo.  (And it's not like Telluria didn't get smacked with a whole sack of nerfhammers anyway, sheesh.)

Definitely part of a moment that changed how SG looked at HotM (with the later Big Imbalance Update, the increasing general aversion to direct nerfs, the preference for runaway exponential power rush, and the profusion of super-premium portals).
