Mid-Focused Taliyah Buffs

Taliyah needs help returning to midlane. These buffs could help her do that without affecting her jungle too much.

  1. Partly refund the cooldown of Threaded Volley when it’s cast on Worked Ground. The cooldown is so long early that using the single-rock cast is a waste. Partly refunding the cooldown of the ability would let Taliyah last-hit distant minions and poke overextended enemies without wasting time. Cooldown refund could be around 5/4/3/2/1.

  2. Reduce Worked Ground radius and duration. Since Worked Ground no longer grants Taliyah 10% movement speed, we should reconsider its radius and duration, which were balanced around enabling her to escape ganks, dodge skillshots, and ‘ride’ the boost by casting off cooldown while chasing or fleeing. Worked Ground radius reduced from 450 to 400 units and duration reduced from 120 to 90 seconds.

Each buff increases her opportunities to cast Threaded Volley in lane, helping her poke and trade, without buffing her Jungle performance because Jungl-iyah doesn’t want to cast on Worked Ground and will return to previously worked ground long after it’s Unworked itself.

If i'm correct, Taliya's Q already refunds half cd if cast on worked ground.
