They built a rock climbing wall that was really hard to climb. And people bitched and moaned about it, while myself and others, not a lot im sure but we made ourselves learn how to climb up the wall and ring that bell, i was proud of understanding and doing well with her, through all the complaining from the ignorant that gave up, i didnt and succeded. Then riot threw me down from that spot and spit in face, then put up a ladder up against that wall so anybody could climb it Then kicked me in the gut with the W nerf, then in the face at 10% e damage reduction, then again at 13%, and finished with a shot to the nuts with 15%. Then replaced the beautiful bell at the top with the stupid thing you find at receptionist desks. Why exactly did i try so hard? I love playing her, i felt rewarded, now it feels a litte.. Hollow, ill still enjoy her, because shes one of the best designed champions i feel, but riot fucked it up to cater to those who complianed, dropped her and wont come back even with this change. Sigh. Maybe im alone in this thought process, i hope im not.

The one time they listen to the players is the one time they really shouldn't have. Only the people that never gave it a chance wanted the change, and while it was perfect the way it was, the implementation of the new cast feels like it was the worst they could have done.

Taliyah is one of the only reasons I'm still playing this game, and then they go and make such a fluid ability so annoying to use. I am actually so frustrated I can't sleep.

I feel the same way. Don't worry lol.

Honestly, I haven't visited this board for 2 years until now. I had to come here to let Riot know that this change is downright awful. I don't care what they nerf about her anymore. This lazy W change just makes her fidgety af.

"allowed Taliyah to combo her W-E more fluidly" Bullshit. It's not fluid at all, it's buggy and awkward and never goes off the way you intend it to.

She was strong, sure, I admit that, and she did deserve nerfs. But you can nerf a champion without changing her entire gameplay style. At present I went from playing her nearly all the time (she easily became one of my most favourite champions) to never playing her again.

Welcome to F2P -- where anything hard gets simplified or nerfed into the ground. Isn't it just great?

In today's society, everyone is a winner. There is no such thing as not being good enough, or losing, heavens no! That'd be immoral and wrong.

Don't worry, they're planning on the pbe to drop the previous bell on your head. On a serious note though, I agree 100% with this.

They removed spell lock-out and allowed Taliyah to combo her W-E more fluidly, of course they'll nerf the damage since the reliability of the spell has been increased. Taliyah also has an insane 58% winrate among dedicated players, which places her at a far higher win threshhold than even dedicated Azir mains. Complain as you may, Riot was perfectly justified in nerfing her.

They gotta do something about this W change, honestly who ever endorsed this couldn't possibly play this champion. Having to click and drag the W now completely kills the way you play her, having to always be on the move doesn't work with how her W works now. [zombie-brand-facepalm]
