Is Taliyah a bit too strong right now?
Just had a match against her. I was
(nemesis draft).
It was pretty insane. Pre-6 we had some good trades and the match felt even, but after 6 there was little I could do against her. It was then that I noticed some nuances to her kit.
Her E pushes waves WAYY too hard. The initial damage obviously hurts them and the next explosion finishes them off.
If she catches you in the initial E, with the slow, then good luck dodging her W, resulting in a crap-ton of damage. I even had
and it was still really hard to dodge. The only time I ever dodged was when she missed me entirely.
On top of this, her Q is also a great way to shove lanes or do fat damage to opponents. The whole worked ground thing doesn't really seem to gate it that much and the fact that she gains MS while on it is just...why? Like it doesn't really do anything but it's just more on the pile.
Once she gets a
avoiding her abilities becomes even MORE difficult.
Also lets think of this scenario. You get caught in her E slow. She slows you really hard and so she follows with a W to try to get some more damage off. You can't walk of it. You have a dash in your kit but if you use it you take damage anyways. You have to use it just to avoid the displacement and potential danger of the W. Your options are take damage or take more damage.
Like I'd hate to be a melee champ against her.
