What do you rate talilyah difficulty wise?

Title says it all, everyone I meet says she's hard to play. What do you rate her out of 10? 10 being the hardest, 1 being the easiest.

I've rate her about a 6, not that hard, only the ulti for me IMO

Once you get used to casting her W and (as with any champion) her mechanics, she's not hard at all.

She's hard to be successful with, not play. This owes to the fact that she released weak. She doesn't have enough burst to play like a burst mage, but she's squishy, so she has difficulty abusing her sticking power, which also relies on landing her skillshot W. (Skill or not, you can't always stop an opponent from simply dodging) Using W without E just cuts her damage, while using them together gives the opponent more reaction time and thusly cuts the range.

It's kind of like she relies on ult ganks to do well. Sure, it's a strong ult that sets up strong ganks, (OR THEY COULD JUST FLASH/DASH OVER IT LOL) but she falls off so hard if she doesn't get ahead. Of course, these are just my opinions, Rito seems to think her waveclear is the main problem.

Playing mechanically: 6, solely because of how her W initially feels really awkward. Playing successfully: 10. Seriously, the lowest winrates in every single role by a huge margin? I understand winrates aren't a perfect indicator of balance, but come on. Buffs are incoming though, which should remedy this.

Honestly. I was super pumped to play her, but she's sooooo squishy. I was playing her support, too, which means less items and no rylai's. If you play support Taliyah, you're basically fucked. She can rack up kills but she also dies a LOT. My average death total with her is 6. I have so many games with 6 deaths. She's like Zyra level squishy but easier to get close to
