What could I have done to carry this game?

I feel like it was very winnable, but was there anything I could've done to skew the game in my team's favour? Caitlyn wasn't that weak despite being quite behind, but I'm not sure about the rest of the team.

Don't build item 3069, get a item 3092 or item 2301. Use item 3020, not item 3009. Taliyah has a lot of mobility and range, you shouldn't get caught in the first place, especially not with a Rylai.

You want to aim for this inventory: item 3020 item 3116 item 2049 item 3092 or item 3020 item 3116 item 2301 Then you go for item 3151 or item 3089. Depending on what you are fighting. item 3151 for tanks, item 3089 for squishies. You don't need more tankiness than item 3116 + item 3151 with a Taliyah.

Support Taliyah also doesn't build any support items aside from Sightstone and Frostqueen. She's a damage support and provide peeling from her slows and push. Maybe a item 3060 but that's limit.

As for that game itself, your team needed more objectives. You only had 2 towers and they came very late. Other than that, I doubt your team could have won. They had much more scaling and the longer the game lasted, the stronger they would become. Both Sejuani and Vayne are hyper scaling champions.

I feel like I'd be too squishy with that kind of build. I've tried it before when Taliyah first came out, but my performance became very inconsistent because of how damage oriented I was, making it harder to survive once I've started to peel in teamfights/skirmishes. Extra speed and resistances helped me avoid unnecessary damage while still slowing and doing fair amounts of damage.

About the Kage's Lucky Pick line over Ancient Coin, I feel like that ties into consistency too. If I can't poke because my ADC plays too passively, then I'd be in a tough spot. I guess I could've taken a risk to get ahead, but that's kind of out of my reach anyways lol.

Taliyah support is a bully support. The goal is to scare the enemy with your Seismic Shove + Unraveled Earth combo. It's usually easy to get your gold from Spellthief since you can simply auto attack them for the gold. What's important is the extra damage it gives. Considering you had a Caitlyn on your side against a Vayne and Bard, it should have been pretty easy to just bully them. Shove them once into an unraveled earth to let them know that they'll die if they try to CS. Usually, when one of your minion is low, just shove the Vayne when she goes for that CS.

As for surviving, you get bonus movespeed while on Worked Ground that apply even while in combat, use this to move around faster, stick close to walls for your passive. The whole point here is to never let anyone in range to attack you. If you get caught, a flash over wall or in a bush can give you enough time to cast your ult and ride it to safety.

Also, level up Threaded Volley first, not Unraveled Earth. It should goes like this: Q > W > E > Q > Q > R > Q > E > Q > etc. Threaded Volley will do much more damage than Unraveled Earth while Unraveled Earth will leave you without any options after you used it. If you hit all of your Threaded Volley, you basically do 3x the damage of 1 Threaded Volley hit. At level 1, that's around 210 damage before reduction with 25 AP.
