please revert taliyah's w's cast type

in patch 6.14, taliyah's w's cast type was changed, and the lockout was removed. i find that the w's new cast type feels very clunky, and it doesn't even match with rumble's ultimate or viktor's death ray, which is what riot said they would do. for both rumble and viktor, casting their ability on normal cast means you have to click the ability to choose the starting point, then move your mouse to choose the way you want to send it, then click the ability again to cast it. but on quick cast, you hold down the ability and move your mouse to cast it. but with taliyah's new cast type, on both quick and normal cast, you click the ability, release the button, then move your mouse to choose where to send it. this just feels awkward to me because if you want to throw your opponent towards you, you have to keep your mouse in between you and your opponent while your w is being casted. if you move it farther away, to cast a q or e, then the w will throw the enemy away, and thats just really annoying to me. please hotfix this riot, because i don't want to wait a whole patch for this to be fixed.

TL;DR taliyah's new w is weird to use pls fix riot gamesitem 3070

I think the real problem with it is casting it at max range or even further than max. Even after adapting I struggle with casting w at max range. When I walk away from my opponent and cast w (at max range), Taliyah starts to move back towards the opponent and then casts W. It should be cast at max range regardless if you used it outside her cast range. I had so many scenarios where I thought I casted W E Q just to realize that my W didn't even go off since Taliyah wanted to "move" to cast W at my location and then I cancelled the move command with E Q. Otherwhise the new vektor cast is much better since it keeps you unlocked so you combo anything else into that W. However the best solution imo would be to revert it and still keep Taliyah unlocked out of her W cast. You may also say now that I just have to "adjust" a bit more to the point where one has mastered the max range of her W. But that's just plain bs, even Annie had a change where her W was cast in front of her rather than moving first and then cast to the targeted location.

TL:DR Pros: Working faster combo W E Q instead of clunky E W Q.

Cons: Casting W OUTSIDE max range = Move command and then cast at location. E Q follow up may cancel W move command resulting in W never being cast.

  • You can't wait and adjust your W direction anymore (Makes it alot harder to land...)

Edit: Oh and don't forget that you can't adjust your W direction anymore. Before you could press W, think for a split second and then target W. Now you have to "predict" 1 second into the future (W def. takes more skill to land...)
