Okay. The lack of a knockup on Taliyah's W is starting to mess with me. Can we please fix that?

Being forced to knock into a direction is something I don't always want to do when playing Solo. It's also something I always used when I'm being ganked. They don't gain distance to me nor do they gain distance from me. It just feels like Ziggs' wonky W now, except I can't use it to gapclose.

Please give her this variation back. Even if it means modifying Vector Casting and giving Taliyah a new type of casting altogether, it gives the player more freedom.

She does so much damage from such a safe distance, this feels like an appropriate weakness to have

I wish they'd revert the change.

It's not exactly a matter of it being a weakness nor is it a matter of practice. She could do it before, but because of the Vector Casting change she can't now. Not sure how I can practice something that isn't possible to do lol. Also, there is a huge weakness for the lockout removal. If she casts W first before E, people can engage on her without having to be punished by the minefield because it's not out yet. Unlike before, where she normally casts E then W.

It's like if Yasuo lost his EQ variation or if Janna had to charge her Q to the fullest. It's just inconvenient and gives less freedom.

i don't play Taliyah but i got out of a game today where the enemy one kept knocking people in the wrong direction. don't know whether she was just really bad or if it something to do with the new change

cause she would literally throw down her spike stone and then instead of pushing me into them help me escape by pushing my further away

The W change is pretty difficult to master now, despite being supposedly easier for your average player.

it's kind of hard to do it correctly at max range but pushing someone away from you is possible. What I do is wait for them to be about mid range, halfway through your field and then throw them away, that way you don't need to move your camera and they will take extra damage.
