Taliyah has a win rate of 51.47% @ 7.5, am I missing something?

Because I don't feel impactful at all after the mastery nerfs, and I'm not exactly sure why she's strong at the moment. As a matter of fact, I think she in a reasonable spot before the mastery nerfs.

No matter how much I peel or damage, it almost feels like my damage is never enough to contribute as a Mid laner.

Right now, her wave clear is horrible, she's barely leaving a scratch on tanks even with Rylai + Liandry's, lethality assassins are still everywhere and (this might be psychological) her W-E combo is significantly harder to pull off.

Am I missing something? Or is this an effect that other Taliyah mains are feeling too?

Nope, don't feel that at all. I'm rarely not top damage when I play her.

I would say that she is borderline overpowered if you know how to play her well. Also, before I say anything else, her waveclear is not "horrible"... in fact, its pretty darn good right now. Is the removal of the 50% bonus damage to minions still haunting you or something? Because she's a fine waveclear-er. Also, I'm not sure how you're barely leaving a scratch on tanks when you have magic penetration on a champ with consistent dps. The only thing that's really setting her behind are the lethality assassins, which are slowly being singled out each patch. The W-E combo is supposed to be difficult, if you couldn't tell, because of how damaging and suprising it can be. You must be doing something wrong if you feel like she is not in a good state right now because her damage is absolutely insane early game. Why not use that to snowball yourself and other lanes? Not trying to be rude, but I think Taliyah might be too hard for you.

Taliyah's early is awesome. But what you say it's true when it comes to mid & late. I'm trying to master her, she's been my favourite champion so far, but after early game is gone, even when you're fed, you can't do much. You just have to put yourself behind and zone enemies or try to avoid your teammates die. That's sad :/
