No, no. I get it. It's a spammable spell... but 100 mana when it's her first ability that she maxes? That's absolutely insane. Syndra's Q is similar to Taliyah's in that it's easily spammable but it's only 80 mana. Why not nerf the CD or damage on her Q?
You know some pros straight up rushes liandry and still spam q for days right. This is much needed nerf
's Q is the first thing he maxes, and is a spell he spams. It costs 120 mana per cast when maxed, more than most champions ults. Be grateful it's only 100 mana.
If it makes you feel better, Nasus' E costs an absolutely absurd 130 mana at rank 5.
I believe it's because it only costs 1/2 the amount when you're in threaded earth.
Maybe its because the ability itself is ridiculous in terms of cd and damage, so it needs an appropriate mana cost.
Sorry that Taliyah requires some small part of a brain in order to be played well. Maybe you could just learn how to play her, and you wouldn't have issues.
Hint: The aftereffect of her Q is a big part of it.
Oh and by the way, I'm a long-time rank 7 Taliyah, so don't go off on some tirade like I don't know what I'm talking about.
I'd still kill for a 6.14 Revert of Taliyah. Q>Q>Q>Q>Q>Q>Q is so fun. /s
Lux's E, which she always maxes first, costs 130 at rank 5. It's a low cooldown ability that's often spammed.
Honestly, though, I would take a longer CD with lower damage on Taliyah's Q over the increased mana cost. It's supposed to be a spammable ability (although, let's face it, 70 mana is pretty low), but having the cooldown and damage be so strong means something has to give.
While not exactly ideal, by some viewpoints, the cost increase is still a warranted nerf that I think will have the intended effect.
Look at the damage on it and say that again.
They're finally balancing it.
E is a spell on a 2.25 second without any cdr. It deals 150 base damage and has poor scaling. It costs 100 mana.
I think 100 mana is an appropriate cost for how powerful Taliyah's Q is.
