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

Better yet, can she just be reverted to pre-6.14?

she was pretty oppressive in the competitive scene which is why she'll never be as good as she was, which baffles me since LeeSin Olaf Jhin Syndra Cassiopeia Viktor Trundle Rumble Caitlyn and Orianna all dominated worlds but they choose to nerf Taliyah since she did good in a few LCS games

she's perfectly balanced. just learn to play her better.

why because shes around a 50% winrate? it's because of her low playrate, I guess that makes Mordekaiser balanced since he's at round 50% too?

Are Rengar and Khazix balanced too? they're at 50% as well, better not nerf them

Ignore it. It's a delusional Brand main that goes around trolling balance threads.

In competitive league, she is just too good when she can wave clear quickly. Like Aion, he can wave clear and roam very quickly.

yet he hasn't been touched, i'm ok with them nerfing her waveclear but they overdid it, this change in itself is literally nerfing 43% winrate Taliyah's stats
