PBE Taliyah W Cooldown Nerf Hurts Her Midlane Too Much

W - Seismic Shove Cooldown increased from 12 at all ranks to 16/15/14/13/12

Since Taliyah maxes her W last, that cooldown won’t start decreasing until level 14, when she puts a second point into the skill. The only other mage with a basic displacement ability is Syndra, whose Scatter the Weak is an instant cone and can stun afterward if she lands a sphere.

This huge cooldown nerf will hurt her laning badly, leaving her vulnerable for a long time if she misses a combo. You said she would be balanced around both roles, but right now she’s so strong as a jungler that she’s barely played mid. Changes like these could reduce her to a troll pick.

Never understood why Riot didn't listen to the outcry from Taliyah mains on the removal of her q aoe damage.

Now instead of trying to balance her around mid Riot for some reason just shoved her into jungle and balances her around that role. Is there no reason to try and return her to the mid lane in which she was originally designed to be? Really sad since I used to love playing Taliyah mid from time to time, but her wave clear is just too weak to compete with any of the mid laners right now.
