On the weaker side? I've only played one game (an admittedly terrible one where I took her jungle) with her clear and all was ok but I just didn't get the same "WOW!" factor that I did with any other typical assassin.
Thoughts?
Maybe people just don't know how to play her? She's not simple.
Shes akali 2.0 with all those dashes.
I think people need more time. She does have a simple kit BUT I think it has a high skillcap due to all the decision making you can do. She doesn’t have your typical burst all in like other assassins. Her’s is almost assassin/skirmisher.
She's extremely strong. What's weak is her existence vs champs who have serious poke before arrival.
I just tried her vs a Bot MF (the one champ who doesn't behave much differently if a bot or a player is playing it....), and omfg.... early game.... even late game..... there were times where Qiyana just blew up as soon as you started the fight. But..... if you managed to W (Stone) > E her, Q, her toward a wall, and then R, OMFG the damage.
Qiyana can currently potentially 2 shot. It just takes setting up the plays.
Learn that in duels, you need to get your target in between you and a wall, and there is almost nothing they can do to stop dying. (That's going to take a lot of practice, because as I said, she's the kind of champ who will often blow up before she actually sets off her kit)
I think honestly a lot of people will do better with her if they build some tankiness. Like Sylas, she suffers from spammability. She can compensate loss of per hit damage to add some tankiness to do more.
