Polishing Taliyah's W.

So I did some thinking and bad Photoshopping to show how 's Seismic Shove W could be changed to feel better.

Giving it an AoE Indicator.

So instead of this for her W: http://i.imgur.com/itQo4wb.jpg

It could be this: http://i.imgur.com/tX9ap73.jpg

And instead of this: http://i.imgur.com/tsakHir.jpg

It could also be this: http://i.imgur.com/brb3vq0.jpg

The purpose of this change is to give the eyes a better estimate when aiming Seimic Shove. I kept the AoE indicator simple in order to keep in line with the directional arrow indicator.

Re-implementing the normal knockup.

How to do this? Make W work like pings. Using W without dragging should make it perform a normal knockup since it makes sense from a thematic point of view. Currently, the skill will default to pushing away if W is not dragged at all, which feels odd and wonky. This will give more control over how she wants to CC her opponents and will feel less restrictive. The zone where it will register as a normal knockup will be relatively small, so it will feel the same as it is right now.

So a ping getting dragged like this: http://i.imgur.com/IFdvfRt.jpg

Will make her W do this: http://i.imgur.com/UlDdyar.jpg

Cancelling a ping and doing nothing like this: http://i.imgur.com/ab22Oh8.jpg

Will make her W target upwards instead of to the side like this: http://i.imgur.com/RxIXjbK.jpg

All around simple changes to make her W feel a lot better to play with while keeping it a simple spell. To be honest, I expected her W to have changes like these when her W rework came around last year. Better late than never I guess!
