I give it a 7. It's way better than season 1 but nowhere near as great as season 2.
I thought the first half was great. I liked the mystery of Sara's death, I liked the buildup to the league and Ra's, I liked Merlyn's involvement again, I liked Flash guest starring, I liked all the stuff with Diggle getting his wife back, I really dug the episode where felicity has her "origin" and I loved Roy being a full time costume hero. The midseason finale where Ra's "killed" Oliver was wonderful.
The second half...not as good. Laurel's journey to become Black Canary I enjoyed but it was rushed. She shouldn't have been Black Canary until sometime in season 4, she just wasn't ready and it all seemed to come from the showrunners seeing how much viewers didn't like her anymore and they wanted to throw their hail mary early in an desperate attempt to keep her some fans. But when she became Canary what happened? She got beat up....a LOT. Even after she'd been suited up for half the season, she's still getting trounced. It's pathetic.
But the worst part of the season for me is how they handled Oliver's "death". That whole arc should've been great but it was kinda dull. I didn't like Brick(or whoever Juggernaut was supposed to be lol) and everybody just wrote Oliver off. I also didn't like the whole Oliver becoming Ra's thing. I never EVER believed it. Not for a second.
I liked Ray/the Atom though I don't love him like some fans do. And I absolutely hate Olicity. That was a poor decision and frankly it ruined Felicity's character. I loved her in season 2 and now i'm completely indifferent to her. It also makes it impossible for Oliver to be with Laurel eventually(which is what the show ultimately should be leading to). Diggle and Thea were fine for me.
The first half was super strong but the second was lacking.
