Taliyah QoL change that would make Taliyah mains jump for joy.

For Normal Cast, make her W cast when left click is held down. Or for Smart Cast, make it when W is held down. This would fix the unintentional, clunky, and unavoidable delay that her W has. It would also allow to vertically knockup again, which would help her as a Utility Disruption mage. The picture is what the skill would look like. This suggestion is only a small band aid to what her problems really are, but it's the little things that count for now.

EDIT: Someone came in here and downvoted everything. Please don't be that guy. If you want to say why it's a bad QoL change just say so in the comments.

Riot doesn't like QoL changes, they frown upon those things in the conference room.

Mm. I wouldn't say that. TF's Q and Lux's R got correct targeting reticles a few years back. Zed's W shadows also got little markers to help see them (Even though they were pretty distinct in my opinion.). I think they know what's up now lol.

Well, Riot obviously has "other worldy interventions" those weeks.

Getting to actually see the damn indicator would be great too. But hey, that makes sense. And we know Riot's stance on making changes that make sense, right?

That would be asking for too much now wouldn't it? Zenon said that he would need to get a programmer to help fix it.

Also, when QoL changes are downvoted. Feelsbadman. [slayer-jinx-unamused]

i dont think the smart cast part of your idea will work with the way vector cast works like u press down w move your mouse to pick direction u want to cast spell then release w and the spell casts how would u aim the spell if u had to just press w

To be honest, none of my idea would work with the way Vector Casting works. Vector Casting doesn't cast when left click is held down or when the skill button is held down. My idea suits Taliyah's W in a way that it fits the nature of the skill. It's supposed to be cast first AND THEN a direction is chosen if desired. With how Vector Casting works, it forces every command to be input on one slide which is very restricting and clunky in terms of what her W was created to do.

This QoL change would create a completely different casting paradigm that may come in handy when more champions are developed. Pretty sure it would only need a few tweaks in the coding of the already created Vector Casting.

im confused as to what you're asking. is her casting of her W like viktors E? you can hold down the key on viktors E and it will then let you angle it a different way in quick cast. if you want to cancel you can right click. if you accidentally activate it outside of your range of casting 2 things will happen - if you let go of E viktor walks up to the place where he can cast it. if you right click before letting go of E you will do nothing.

is that at all similar or helpful?

What I'm asking for is that W should cast once the arrow appears when you hold left click down. It would let it cast faster and bring some fluidity and freedom to her skill once again. Right now, it is exactly like Viktor's E. No difference between the two skills, which causes confusion just from the sheer fact that the two skills don't act the same. Once you hold down the key, the skill isn't cast yet. That little delay from the input causes sluggish gameplay.

Nono. That would be even worse lol.

Like when you hold left click down, the circle is cast.

While the circle is cast left click is still held down. During that time, the little arrow is present. Redirect that arrow for the desired direction to throw and release.

Right now it's hold down, redirect arrow, and release just for the skill to start casting.
