Taliyah needs help!

Blue Sneakers·Oct 30, 2016·2 votes·718 views

Hey community! I'm a big Taliyah player and I love her so much. However the recentish nerf to her q taking off the bonus damage to minions killed her. She did well into matchups because of her waveclear but without it she struggles against most matchups. I think her nerfs to E are fair that damage was busted. However I think her Q nerf hurt her early game.

Here are some examples on how to fix it though.

50% damage increase vs minions is too much and a bit op. However I believe 25% or maybe 30% is fair. We could also have the bonus damage scale with rank. Like 10/20/30/40/50? Or 7/14/21/28/35%

Thank you Riot. Help our awkward Rock Friend.

Actually, she's fine after the last wave of buffs. It turns out she didn't need the bonus damage after all. She's in a relatively stable place right now, and adding that bonus damage back would mess everything up for her again. I applaud Riot for their quick and decent buffs after the Q nerf. So, unless you want your beautiful Taliyah to be given the Azir treatment, I suggest you accept where she is right now because they could have gone to that level.... just saying.

Or, just reverting her to pre-6.14 would be the best decision ever.

Reverting that would, yet again, mess everything up for her. Even then, she was considered rather strong with a 53% winrate; therefore, nerfs would probably be inevitable. Right now, I consider her to be a bit of a random mix between a burst and a control mage with her kit, but I don't think that will change anytime soon... Her kit was doomed from the beginning unfortunately.

No, pre-6.14 was perfectly balanced.

She doesn't need additional minion damage.

Give a reason why it would make her any better or worse, outside of giving her a 100% free laning phase for being able to afk farm from 900 units away, which is something Riot wants to avoid with any champion.

In fact, it would make her give up nothing for roaming, making her unhealthier than the gameplay in-lane that Riot's trying to prevent.
