Im dissapointed with taliyah

WyattB57·May 5, 2016·2 votes·687 views

When i first read the short story, and found out taliyah was yasuos apprentice i assumed she would have a similar flow mechanic, and thought this was cool, but then when i watched her reveal, and found she used mana like any other champ i found this dissapointing since she already has the debuff on her q, also i feel it would be very easy to implement a flow mechanic with her pasive instead of an out of combat wait time, so i figured i would post this and see how comunity feels about it.

I feel like i should explain a little more people seem to think i want yasuos shield passive on taliyah, but i dont i just feel like given the debuff on her q limiting her that she doesn't need mana, and that implementing a similar mechanic like yasuo's flow on her own passive would be better than mana.

Because I'm making chocolate pudding at 4:00 in the morning.

I've tested her and liked her because she has great mechanical potential for a fairly immobile mage. Its just her kit works together while at the same time it doesn't.

For example, if you cast you E W combo, you cannot immediately cast Q. There is a delay in the animation. If you use Q you cannot cast anything else.

So its like her Q operates separately from the rest of her kit while her E is reliant on her W or even R to displace her target. The thing is her E is like her burst form of damage and can be hard to use.

So just to be clear you dont think a flow mechanic would be cooler than mana?

Well yea. But she already has a similar mechanic on her Q. You need to get new ground to max the damage on her Q. Hence, you constantly moving like Yas flow

So wouldn't it make sense to give her a flow mechanic to synergize with her always moving play style.

Taliyah wasn't his apprentice in anything more than steeling her resolve and focusing her mind. She is a mage who can control stone and sense it in the earth. Yasuo is a swordsman who can channel the wind. Their disciplines do not share anything in common other than the need to have a sharp mind and strong will.

Maybe not in martial arts but that sounds like a spiritual apprentice to me

She is his apprentice in terms of learning control and focus. He did not and does not teach her how her powers work or how his powers work, only that when you wield power, you must have focus, calm, and control. He doesn't teach her how to read the wind or harness it. He doesn't teach her how to use her powers to tap into the mana of the world and use the aether to manipulate the earth.
