Taliyah Changes (My Late Response)

As a Taliyah main since her release, I was obviously disappointed by her changes, and although I completely understand why they had to be made, I thought I would add my thoughts (a bit late tho).

Passive buffs and nerfs : Perfectly okay with these, roaming potential became even stronger and then nerfed a bit again to make it a little more balanced, it seems to be in a good spot currently.

Changes to Threaded Volley : Although I'm going to miss it, kiting five champions at one time is kind of unfair! The only suggestion I would like to make is that the AOE on Threaded Volley be added back to only her worked ground casts, this way she can still poke as easily as before without being over-tuned, and has wave clear that does not cost a large amount of mana or Luden's Echo .

Changes to her position in games : I have no problem with Taliyah jungle being a thing, but where she became strong in jungle she became weaker in mid lane. Mid lane Taliyah can still work, but is much less effective, a major playstyle change like this can be devastating to the Taliyah player community, I've seen many players drop her entirely, and I think it is quite a shame.

Taliyah is a very important champion to me, she was the first champion who I was passionate about playing well and improving upon, when she was released everyone told me that I would never be good at her, that she was just so weak it was impossible to be useful, so in return it made me want to play her more and more, after a while I had improved to the point where the people I played with started to notice, for once I felt quite special because I was able to play a champion who wasn't so easy, one that you really had to practice with to get good with.

Thank you for reading! I am probably asking for too much, but I really would like to see Taliyah mid be more like it was before. However, even if these changes never come, I am glad to have brought the effect of her changes on the community more-so into light.
