@Riot: 6.14 Taliyah's W Changes

Taliyah is one of my favorite champions in league. At first, I was cool with her getting these changes. She didn't seem underpowered or overpowered before it and was fairly easy to play once you learn her abilities. #BUT NOW IM MAD

I play tested a game with her in bots, and Taliyah, without a doubt, is harder to play. When I play her, I use quick cast on all her spells except her ult. Now quick cast on her w is just a quick bind for the indicator? Riot, you didn't have to show the indicator because there is already an option for that.

So I was like okay that's fine I can just not use quick cast. Let me read you her W description from the website.

Taliyah marks a target location. After a brief delay, the ground erupts, knocking up and damaging all enemies caught in the blast zone. Taliyah can ** recast** Seismic Shove before it erupts to throw the victims in any targeted direction.

You can see it says that Taliyah can recast it if she wants to push her enemies in the target direction. You: What if I want to just knock them up? Riot: You can't do that anymore! The new changes doesn't match the description anymore. It's just click area and it chooses a random direction for you or you can do it yourself. Try it. You can't just knock them up anymore. Almost everyone and I is used to the "double press click clack mechanism".

#I'm fine with the nerfs and the "you can move now" changes Riot just needs to restore the double press mechanic and remove the quick cast indicator. item 3070

Same here she was my new favorite in league absolutely loved the way her kit was and how she felt and then riot went and completely changed the way w casts and works and made me completely no longer enjoy her. What was an already hard to pull off skill now became an almost impossible not to screw up skill. No one asked for her w cast to be completely changed Riot stop forcing changes we never wanted

How often is it actually better to just knock an enemy straight up rather than in a direction though? I've maybe done it twice, and they were on accident.

The double cast was perfect. It literally felt like you were "rockbending" if I may borrow that word from Nickelodeon: first cast - pull earth from the ground, second cast - push earth to a direction.

Now, even when I finally get it to do what I want (which is 12% of the time as opposed to the previous 95%) it feels unrewarding and awkward.
