Well for starters, I like Empath's attack animation which makes it easy to deny and harass with 600 range. Her stats are decent though her armor is horrible.
Regarding her skills, I don't really have a problem with Essence link since it can be used in many situations. The only problems I have with it are the long cooldown duration and you have to move at least 750 units away from the target to stun him/her, that makes it a rather unreliable stun.
Regarding her Illusory Veil, aka "wall", It's great for blocking narrow chokepoints or forcing opponents to take the long way around it. However during a teamfight, it's not long enough to block/separate enemies completely. Its long cooldown of 18 seconds renders it usable only once for a typical teamfight.
Synergy is sort of Glacius' regeneration so I'll skip that.
As for Empath's ultimate, "As One". It's common to use it on the team carry, but if he/she gets focused down instantly, chances are Empath would die almost immediately after that.
Let's say Empath's ultimate is on cooldown during a teamfight. What can she do? Put up a wall and just cast Essence Link? Without a reliable stun or nuke, she'll die in a few seconds if the opponents have lots of aoe magic damage.
If I were to classify her, I would say she goes under "Support Ganker". She definitely won't be able to gank a hero by herself while her skills are rather dependent on the location of teamfights.
To sum it up, Empath is very, very situational. I am not very good at playing support heroes, but I would rather pick Demented Shaman or even Glacius over her.
