"Orly? FULL AP TALIYAH SCALINGS A single Q stone: 540 damage ALL OF THE Q STONES: 1,620 damage W: 640 E initial damage: 580 damage, 60% slow E max mines: 1,060 damage E explosion: 580 damage TOTAL E DAMAGE: 2,120 damage FULL COMBO: 4,380 DAMAGE AND CC

Seems fun*[slayer-pantheon-thumbs]*" -Bronzie 2016

EDIT Sorry, forgot to mention the bronzie this morning. I don't actually think she's broken since she has about 8,000 delays on her kit but y'know. Bronzies don't think about that.

So wait, a fed Taliyah who manages to hit ALL of her skills, does enough damage to kill someone? [slayer-jinx-unamused] Who would ever thought that would happen?

She has a slow and a knock up, but as a mage ment for mid, she should be able to kill some poor squishy if they are stupid enough to just stand still the entire time. BUT, unlike some other mages( Annie Diana Lux ), she has to kill you over a few seconds, as the threaded volley takes ~3 seconds to fire off (which is about as long as zed or Leblanc needs to kill you). And if she misses her w, or mis-times it, then she has to hope you are stupid enough to dash through/remain in the field until it explodes. Dealing 180 (+.4 AP) damage.

So yes, she** is** powerful when fed and hitting all her skills, like any non-support should be! Now if she could do this without items, then that would be unbalanced. But as you said, this example if full ap, glass cannon build. Yet somehow you are surprised that she can do an avalanche of damage? There is a thing called common sense.

Riot don't release balanced champions since long ago. They pass on "balance" in order to be "unique"

Full AP Nunu (idk how much but I assume you mean around ~1k AP) Q ¯_(ツ)/¯ W ¯_(ツ)/¯ E - 240 + 900 = 1140 R - 1125 + 2500 = 3625

FULL COMBO: 4765 AOE DAMAGE WITH CC OMG NERF PLS

"Full AP" Doesn't even give an amount

So her entire combo does as much damage as... two normal shots from a late-game Jhin, with more than half of it being avoidable. Wouldn't be the AP champion I'm concerned most about.

The irony that OP is making fun of Bronzies and is unranked.

Also you aren't taking into account that her Ult deals no damage and that all of her skills are skillshot, and thus, missable.

~~And that she hasn't been released yet~~

That's full build correct? Who cares? Do Full AP Xerath or Veigar. Similar utility, better numbers.

That's an ideal case. It won't happen often.

W doesn't do that much damage. Its about 140ish shorter.

Also how are you going to get all of the rocks in Q to do damage? Also the damage on Q at 700 ap is only 420-450 ish.

The only thing that's really absurd here is how easy it will be to land E's 920 max damage without the pushed damage. If something needs to be nerfed its that. I guess its supposed to make up for the fact her ultimate does no damage?

Mid range squishy mage with delays on her abilities.

Memes.

Besides, I'm sure her ratios will still be toned down but she doesn't appear to be the most reliable mage when it comes to damage.
