Getting poked every 2 seconds doesn't allow counterplay.

It also has a REALLY high cost. She has 200 energy . 100 per q. 2 qs at level one. At max rank her Q is 80 energy. Accounting for W. She can get 3 Qs off before shes out. I suppose I didn't account for passive, but you said being poked every 2 seconds; so I am assuming she doesn't proc passive in this situation

No. She applies her passive EVERY time she pokes. Because she gets a ms steroid and is never in actual danger. So no. You have to apply for her passive.

As well as natural energy regen.

So then applying for the passive, assuming she steps back, then autos, then Qs again. My numbers are the same for level 1, if she gets W level two then this number changes to three if she his passive both times then W. When the Q is level 5, if she Qs then steps back autos Qs then steps back autos then Ws, she can Q one final time. So three, again, at max ranked q.

Base energy 200 Rank 1 q cost 100 energy Energy regen 10 per second Passive energy refund 10

So. She uses her q twice, hitting her passive twice costs her 200 energy. But she refunded 20 and regenerated atleast another 30.

That leaves a 5 second window where she has nothing left.

5 seconds. Most abilities at level 1 have over a 5 second cooldown by themselves.

It doesnt have a really high cost when every other skill on her kit gives energy, costs nothing or costs a whopping 30 energy

Theres a reason this champ recieves so many nerfs, and its because she is batshit broken. She's supposed to be an assassin but she flexes top too. Tank? conqueror akali. This champ just has way too many options
