Can you nerf Taliyah without affecting her Midlane?

I saw the pbe nerfs, and if riot wants to nerf taliyah, then atleast make her q deal reduced damage to monsters instead of doing anything like increasing her q cooldown which affects her midlane. Taliyah's midlane is already balanced enough, any nerfs for it are not warranted.

I like Taliyah as much as the next guy, but Taliyah's mid winrate is sitting at a disturbingly respectable 51.75% (with onetricks hitting the 60% mark ez). Mid Taliyah is probably still overtuned.

That being said, Mid Taliyah's winrate is probably going to be pretty fragile, because her biggest asset atm in solo queue is her damage and not her ridiculously strong roam. They're probably trying to limit her access to damage early without nerfing the damage itself.

This does hurt her wave control, and I think hurting her wave control further might sink her, but who knows?
