Ill explain to you why Taliyah's win rate is garbage.

Her Ult does no damage.

okay, thats fine and dandy but the real problem is her Q / W / E weren't compensated enough to deal as much damage as a mage should. Also Riots designers are labeling her as a "control mage" which simply is an understatement, her W cooldown is so long and so unreliable how can her only form of cc define her as a "control Mage"?

Heres some info you may think is false: (straight off the wiki)

> Q: Threaded Volley > 「 MAGIC DAMAGE: 60 / 80 / 100 / 120 / 140 (+ 40% AP) 」 > 「 MAXIMUM MAGIC DAMAGE: 180 / 240 / 300 / 360 / 420 (+ 120% AP) 」(just try landing all shots) > > W: Seismic Shove > COOLDOWN: 16 / 14 / 12 / 10 / 8 > MAGIC DAMAGE: 60 / 80 / 100 / 120 / 140 (+ 40% AP) > > E: > INITIAL MAGIC DAMAGE: 80 / 105 / 130 / 155 / 180 (+ 40% AP) > TOTAL MAGIC DAMAGE: 160 / 210 / 260 / 310 / 360 (+ 80% AP) > > Enemies who dash over or are Airborne icon knocked through Unraveled Earth's boulders cause them to detonate instantly, each dealing them 50% of Unraveled Earth's initial damage, up to a maximum of 4 boulders per enemy. > > TRIGGER MAGIC DAMAGE: 40 / 52.5 / 65 / 77.5 / 90 (+ 20% AP) > MAXIMUM TRIGGER DAMAGE: 160 / 210 / 260 / 310 / 360 (+ 80% AP) (if the targets can proc EVERY single rock, then... well shit... he has downs)

As you can see, she only has 3 abilities that deal damage, and all of them deal sub par amounts of damage, now compare that to your normal midlaner, they have more scaling / utility / CC in their kits because... wait for it.** THIS ISN'T NORMAL**

  • Give her W either larger area, more damage, less delay (lets be honest the setup time is retarded. and to top it off it has an aftercast delay.)
  • Her Q "worked Ground" needs to be ALOT smaller or have some sort of enemy interaction to go with it, as of right now its just a complete handicap to her kit.
  • Her E should just do more flat damage, its really fucking low.

She's a control mage, she's not meant too 100 -> 0 someone

Idk she seems a bit underwhelming but her E + W damage combo is actually quite good.

She also has TF tier ganks post-6. She's a bit worse vs mobility lanes because she lacks a targeted stun, but she can also cut off both people from their turret.

TF can't block the use of an entire lane with an ability.

There's no way they can give her more damage without reworking the ultimate.

Like a lot of recent champs, she has a game-breaking kit that makes it virtually impossible to balance
