Thank you for not trolling.

I don't disagree, but you should at least give some more information than this.

She may not be as good of a support as many others, but she does have good zone potential, an AOE slow, a shove which can work for engage and peel, she has a good roam potential, and her ultimate can be an excellent tool to prevent escapes.

So these are reasons to support how she CAN be a support (again, I'm not saying that she IS), give us some reasons as to why you don't think she is.

Her damage falls off massively as the game progresses compared to other mage supports, her utility alone can not come close to making up for it (her slow is not good, is tied to a more important function, her shove is on too long of a CD to be a viable solo utility ability, and some of her utility like the E dash penalty is AP reliant), and her laning is generally mediocre, with a large risk of turning into feeding if she falls even a bit behind against an aggressive lane.

I can pick a better Taliyah for support. I can pick stronger laners that get better damage scaling with better utility. They'll even be almost as good at roaming because they're just stronger earlier and they aren't ult reliant to gank. The only thing she does from a support perspective that I can't do better with someone else is the wall, and that just doesn't make up for everything she's bad at.

That would be a much better post. Again, I agree with you and the original poster, I just would much rather see a post that presents information other than, "She's not a support, thanks"

Yeah, I'm with you there. OP wasn't very convincing.

I mean I saw an ok taliyah supp before. She help get a kill or two on me early game as a soraka I think. She really didn't do much once mid game came around though.

Also I brought u back to 1 since someone doe voted it.
