Can Taliyahs Q Do Extra Damage To Minions Again?
EDIT: For those ready to downvote, remember that even this change would've been a nerf to 43% winrate Taliyah
Proposed Changes
Q- deals extra damage to minions 15%/25%/35%/45%/50%
Explanation
When Taliyah was at a 34% winrate it was the buff during 6.11 (Q-Threaded Volley- deals 50% damage to minions) that made her winrate go up double digits, she was still hard to play and only pros could play her and she was abused, but taking away the extra damage to minions entirely was not the way to fix that, ever since the nerfs Taliyah has been one of the worst mid laner in terms of waveclear and roaming, the things she's designed to do
I understand she was dominating lane AND roaming a lot but taking away her waveclear has given us Taliyah mains no reason to stick around, the E nerfs from 6.14 are acceptable and were quite heavy but still left Taliyah viable unlike the 6.18 nerfs
Riot, you said you wanted Taliyah to have to work for her roaming ganks but you've made it damn near impossible since the 6.18 nerfs, adding the extra damage to minions that scales will force players to max Q if they want to roam and will decrease how oppressive her W E combo can be since her E will be maxed second
If she chooses she wants to stay in lane, she can max her E at the cost of low waveclear and the inability to roam as often but she will excel in lane. I think adding this will keep Taliyah healthy while making players choose if they want to roam or dominate lane which addresses all of the problems that lead to Taliyah being nerfed, those being that she was too oppressive in lane and roamed to much, making the player choose roaming over lane or vice versa will bring Taliyah back into the meta and i'd really like to see these changes
and
all dominated worlds but they choose to nerf
since she did good in a few LCS games
balanced since he's at round 50% too?
and
balanced too? they're at 50% as well, better not nerf them
? lol
