Taliyah is being to feel like Kalista, Ryze and Azir

Don't get me wrong, I love Taliyah. She's my favorite champion in the game (Although not my most played but I digress) and I've played her since release.

She's been a VERY controversial champion Balance-wise. Coming out of the PBE overly weak, only to be buffed and changed to pro-play dominating levels, to nerfed to reworked into a jungling monster into being adjusted into her current low playrate (But still unfortunately high winrate). She dropped 8% play in the most recent patch

Taliyah has appeared in 26 SEPARATE PATCHES since release, only 4 of which were bugfixes. She's also been hotfixed on MULTIPLE of those occassions. Considering all of that she is STILL not much closer to being a consistently balanced or viable champion.

I feel like Riot kind of just needs to accept her Kit isn't going to be a high playrate kit of success and just set her down like Kalista, Azir and Ryze so they can turn their attention to other more warranting champions.

Your point is invalid.

A champion's playrate depends on the buffs and nerfs

Kalista, Azir and Ryze got so much taken out of their kits there for they have less playrate. So if riot keep nerfing Taliyah she will eventually be unplayable like Kalista, Azir and Ryze and she will lose all her player base.

This very thing means if ever riot nerfed Miss Fortune like Kalista, Azir, Taliyah and Ryze (which they will never do) Miss Fortune's player base will drop cause who wants to play a weak champion if you have a better one.

Therefore, to fix Kalista, Azir, Taliyah and Ryze they need to keep working on them to keep their player base and balance the game properly. Instead of taking things out of their kits.

I don't really understand where Taliyah complaints are coming from. She is still my least preferred jungler to play against, as 1 thread deals 50% of your health in damage seemingly.
