Playing as Taliyah can be frustrating....

I feel like this champ play style puts her in short to mid combat, with very unreliable spells, and no defense. I've listed a few situations below and you can judge and tell me if I'm wrong.

Situation 1: Facing a Yi/jhin mid combat.

Here is what usually happens in those situations. Taliyah will cast q, only landing 1 hit. if she hasn't already been cut down by Yi, she will then try to cast her EW combo which she will miss 80% of the time. Even if it does land, it does not do enough damage. Her ult is useless in mid combat. Result is death.

Situation 2: Riding her ult and blocking enemy team from retreat.

Again, this puts her in mid range combat with very unreliable spells. The results is missing everything and then death.

Situation 3: Blocking enemy team retreat but not riding her ult.

Doing this almost almost means late participation in team just because of ult positioning tend to put you far away from the fight. It also puts her passive on cooldown and you have no speed boost to help you get to the fight. At least this time you did not die but you didn't really participate in the fight which is not satisfying.

I feel like riot said they would look at champs that need buffs after nerfs but complete forget. They did not buff one single champ. Only singed got some recent love which was way over due as this champ was generally ignored by enemies mid combat.

I feel riot needs to revisit Taliyah. She can be better.
