Can we discuss how absurd Taliyah's E damage on champions with integral dashes in their kit?

This ability quite literally almost one shots you.

It's pretty ridiculous that champions who rely on dashes can't even function against her, because she can drop it mid-dash and kill you at any point.

Can we discuss how absurd Poppy's W is against champions with integral dashes in their kits? It literally just stops you from moving anywhere. It's pretty ridiculous that champions who rely on dashes can't even function against her, because she can drop it mid dash and shut you down at any point.

Champion mechanics are there to be used/counter other mechanics.

Poppy's is an example of a good counter. It inconveniences you, but you don't lose 90% of your health for dashing into it.

Taliyah's mines only trigger max 4 from dashing, at a reduced damage % after the first one, with a 40% ap scaling. If it does "90% of your health" then Taliyah has a lot of ap, and you have no mr. It's got counterplay, literally build any single one of the 3 major MR items (Abyssal, Spirit Visage, or especially Adaptive helm) and you won't die nearly as fast. Adaptive helm is literally designed for that type of spell.

Because losing 140% of your health by a Kayn Talon dashing towards you is fine

Good.

Let all these mobility champions have at least some form of counterplay.

Keep it. If she counters all of these champions that can dash, teleport, jump, phase through walls and just be annoying . . . . the ability is working as intended.

I think that's a good thing. There should be actual mechanics in the game that counter dashing.

Taliyah has an anti-dash mechanic? Time to learn to play her.
