Should Taliyah Get Buffs?

Recently, Taliyah has fallen off the meta a little, at least in lower ELO, I would like to ask the community what they think of this, should Taliyah get buffed next patch?

My Opinions on her Abilities:

Passive: Rock Surfing - Taliyah's passive is simply useful when getting around the jungle while playing Taliyah Jungle, getting back to lane faster, and repositioning, as it is now it is a simple and useful passive, it does not need to be changed.

Q: Threaded Volley - Taliyah's Q is one of her main sources of damage, I think it is genius that the player is punished for using it too much in one area, however her Q damage is a little low in my opinion, I'm not asking for anything major, I just think that it should receive minor damage boosts like 5-15 maybe.

W: Seismic Shove - Her W is a very useful ability, it can be used to save teammates, to save Taliyah herself, to initiate fights, and most importantly, it can be combo'd very well with her E, I do not have many problems with it, I just believe that it should appear slightly faster (Like 0.3 seconds at most), it is important that the enemy has a chance to react to keep the ability fair and balanced, but it is also important that the player can land the ability.

E: Unraveled Earth - Taliyah's E is a very unique ability, it can be combo'd with her W, Seismic Shove to deal bonus damage, I believe that the damage that is received when thrown into the ability should receive a minor buff, similar to what her Q should receive, a minor damage buff around 5-15 damage at most, giving it more than that would be a bit much.

R: Weaver's Wall - Taliyah's Ultimate is a very unique and useful ability it can be used as an escape in the right situation, roaming bot or top, ganking when playing her in the jungle, securing kills, and initiating team fights, honestly I don't think this ability needs anything about it changed, it's perfectly fine as it is now.

Remember this is what I think, lemme know what you think about Taliyah getting buffed, and her recent nerfs.

Not buffs. More like QoL changes and kit adjustments. Adjustments like "Falloff damage will not apply to E unless Taliyah performs W into E.". That way she would retain more zone control on her E while still being able to use W into E for all those people who despised restrictions like the devil. QoL changes like "Taliyah's W now starts casting when left click is held down instead of when it is let go.". That way it would give her more freedom and removes that clunky, unavoidable input delay it has.

I'd rather not touch her ult or Q anymore. Those two skills are extremely hard to balance by nature and it's best if we leave them until further notice.

I don't have fun when that champion is in the game

No, she should get her W changes (lockout/vector casting) reverted and then return the damage to her E full pre-nerfs.

I really like Taliyah, she's one of my favorite champs atm. I think she needs a small buff. She is currently slightly below average in terms of Mage damage right now. I'd like to see the changes you proposed. Faster W, little more Q damage should balance her.

I've been building her recently in a way that gives her more early damage and rewards her from early kills, replacing Doran's Ring item 1056 with Dark Seal item 1082

Passive: I wish it could help jungle Taliyah more. Make it scale on mana fpr the luls? Q: Her worked volley should have its cooldown reduced. W: I wish it could reduce damage from annoying super mobile champions. E: Why did they nerf damage again? R: Needs more interaction because I can just take rank 1 or not at all if I wanted to.
