She's extremely under powered. The design team didn't think about this at all.

Is she fun to play? No. Her built in nerf makes her a choir to constantly position, just so you can utilize her q at all! Her W is frustrating because you have to cast it twice to get the casted so it's tricky to do right and very buggy. Even when you do cast it/get the right direction, most people know how to dodge it it's a super small radius and obvious when you doing it because you have to lay down the mines.
Her AP ratios are pathetic. Like Leona pathetic. Sure, it's 1.2 ap ratio if you land all your q's, but what about her w and e? Who stands still to let you land all q's?
She's got really low natural HP. Her Q is designed around constant poking, not bursting. So she's really weak because if she tries to poke and gets poked back she's going to lose the trades

Nah she's fine.

People just don't know how to play her. Especially the people that don't get the fact that the utility of her ultimate overrides any need of it needing to do damage, just like any other long-range/global teleportation ult.

yes I understand that, but many other champs that have that capability, have something to take out of it. TwistedFate can use w while ulting. Pantheon does damage Nocturne can use skills before landing at target TahmKench has a passive for pete sake that does increased damage.

The idea that a champion that is supposed to mirror the ability to be global/semiglobal, but has no payoff/combo in the end. I really wish the least they could do is make it so that it makes ONE row of her E rocks alongside EACH of the side of the wall, that way it doesn't do damage, but if someone dashes over the wall because it is that easy to counter, they take some damage= to E ratio...

nope, just bad. karma -2.0. has one ability that doesn't do consistent damage and it's underwhelming, movement boost is conditional to only ever be useless, and her ult is another champ skill with team griefing potential, because those aren't numerous enough yet. none of that's important though, what's important is that transgenderds finally have a character to identify with. lucian just wasn't cutting it anymore.

I missed where Taliyah was transgendered? Link? I want this information.

poorly designed in my opinion.

Her ultimate creates a wall, that you have to flash or dash to get through. You can block off enemies at the baron pit, separate the carries from the rest of the team. Trap enemies in the jungle with it. Its the best ganking global ult from lane to lane. You ult bot or top and completely block off the enemies path back to tower. She does lack damage but that's because people are building her with rod of ages, liandras, and even saw some people building Iona boots which are trade offs of health and ap. Try building, sorcers shoes - -ryla - morelo- zhonya- deathcap and which ever 6th items suits the situation.
