PBE Taliyah changes.

I'm not sure how strong or weak Taliyah is in the jungle or in lane at the moment, but the proposed changes on PBE seem to be way over the top. Her Q gets an insane buff in terms of mana cost, cooldown and worked ground duration. Cooldown: 11-3 seconds to 7-3 seconds. 4 seconds shaved off at level 1! That's INSANE. In terms of pure damage output, currently she can almost pump out 5,5 Qs if cast on CD. At 7 seconds, she can cast 8.5! That's an insane increase, especially when the cast is happening in the jungle.

Mana costs: 60-100 to 45-85. 15 mana shaved off just so that extra spam from the lower cooldown doesn't hit her mana pool.

On top of that, worked ground CD is now reduced from 120 seconds to 80 seconds, again to go along the reduced cooldown.

Hey, I'm all for drastic changes, but I feel this kinda goes over the top, especially for a champion that seems in a fine spot right now. I mean, I guess "fine" champions is not good enough to compete with meta champions, so we need to make shit broken, eh?

They're trying to make mid Taliyah a thing again. These changes don't really affect her jungle power because she roams around too much for Worked Ground to really affect her and the mana regen from jungle items and blue buff makes the mana cost reduction negligible. These are focused on making her more powerful in the midlane, where she actually does have to work around Worked Ground and manage mana.

Just remove her from the jungles for hell sakes why they even made her a jungler WTF.

This is a big nerf to Jungle Taliyah because she's dealing reduced damaged to monsters again. Read the tooltip, it says "enemys", not champions. They've changed that.

As A Taliyah main I am happy to see that.I really want riot to make her a great mid laner again and to bring back the Q that used to deal aoe damage. I still play her on mid buy she is not as strong as she used to be but in good hands she can still oneshot many enemys
