Aoe Q would bring her back to a decent mid choice Less/no damage reduction to minions would do it too They completely gutted her Q to the point where it's virtually useless for waveclear.

Q not having worked ground. And Q having 100% damage on minions. NOT monsters. MINIONS.

I recently started playing Taliyah again. I play her mid. After the patch she felt much better to play using her Q. The cooldown being reverted really does feel nice. I also love that worked ground doesn't stay so long. I'd use my Q 2-3 times and then have to spend the next 2 minutes relying on the 1 mana, 1 rock, 11 second cooldown Q.

That being said, her Q damage does leave something to be desired. I loved when it was AOE but that might not be the best change as I could see her being too good at competitive and then just being nerfed to the ground. Rather, I'd like to see the Q damage fall off differently. Like rocks 1-5 do 100%, 87.5%, 75%, 62.5%, 50% damage. It'd be a nice in-between damage-wise.

Ideas? Leave her in the gutter or make her mid only again, obviously cancerous in the jungle.

Why buff Taliyah when you can buff summoner 14 ?

I would just have the dmg penalty on monsters and not minions. She needs 2 Qs and W and E to clear one wave. And after playing jg Taliyah for a while she's too good at taking dragons even by herself, and can roam for ganks quickly. And she was pretty oppressive there honestly (playing as her and against her).

I would honestly like if she was brought back to mid and only balance her there. Two roles will always be problematic.

Edit: One full q doesn't even kill ONE melee minion at 30 mins yikes

about 120 champions in the game are "useless picks" because riot seems to be intent on absolutely breaking shit

If she gets her AOE Q back she’d be re-gutted for the sake of pro play, and I doubt you’d want that. Maybe buff the damage of her W and E, or revert some of the previous needs prior to the Q changes, revert the W cooldown nerf perhaps as an example.
