So does anyone know if taliyah's Q or E will be nerfed to compensate for removin W's self silence?

I will be very depressed if it's her Q, please tell me its her E taking the hit.

I actually agree. The instant rash decision to buff her Q was extremely unjustified. The league community cries OMG TALIYAH WEAK why? How is she weak? Because she's not freelo?

She does too much damage and when people start realizing she's a instant counter pick against dash champions.. Goodluck nerfing

Uh, are you actually dumb? She had a 36% winrate before the buffs/changes.

We'll definitely be nerfing the E, given the ability to W->E the change opens up (versus the riskier, harder to get as damaging a combo E->W). I suspect we'll have to cut more power somewhere else too though, she was already looking too strong before the W changes that will probably add noticeable power.

W>E is a stricly safer and better way to combo, but it's also less interesting thatn E>W. Couldn't you somehow nerf W>E without nerfing E>W so much? Something like E dealing less damage before it has "settled", in which case E>W would deal a bit more damage?

Your decision about buffing Q so early was a mistake in my opinion.It simply deals too much damage and i don't feel the drawback is good enough. Also Rylai's needs a heavy nerf on the slow part because Taliyah is just dumb to play against after she gets it.Other mages get too much out of Rylai's slow too so she is not the only offender.

Hi Meddler,

I have some thoughts on how you might update Akali and I was wondering if you would take a look (this has nothing to do with your above comment, but I didn't know how else to get your attention):

Do you have any thoughts on this?

Have you been considering cutting her wave clear power? For her q I find it pretty insane that she can kill the whole back line with one Q. Even though I think it makes her more lane dominant to be able to shove, I think the new W changes might make her a little to strong while some champs are shoved under tower?

Just wondering.
