Hello, first of all i would like to say that i am taliyah main with lvl 7. I have loved playing her since she came out but when the W change happend it literally changed her completely.. New W is harder to cast and most of the time i cast it in a wrong direction. She was so fine when she came out but you riot listened to players who didn't give her a chance and just didn't like her when they played her for the first time because she actually is hardest champ to master in game right now.. Riot i am just asking for old W back as soon as possible and i hope you will listen and change it .. P.S - Whoever sees this discussion please leave a comment and your thoughts so the discussion can make it all the way to the top! Thanks

I think current W is easier for a lot of people, especially new Taliyah players, as it casts the same way as Viktor's laser and Rumble's ult. A lot of people found that the old W was clunky and not consistent with the casting of other champion abilities. Riot has mentioned that a problem with the old Taliyah was the fact that new players had an very low win rate, and experienced Taliyah players had the highest win rate out of all champs. This was too extreme, so that's part of the reason why they changed her.

The new W also doesn't lock up your combo, so you can cast W then throw out your E immediately after to detonate them. This is a lot easier to land than the previous combo where people had to throw out their mines first then try to get their W off.

#Most people would disagree

That said i used to agree with you... It was hard to get use to but compared to the old version it is an huge improvement you may not agree thats fine but it will nvr fo back.

The direction is still kinda dificult to get right but the knock up is much easier to land

#I am a taliya main at the moment ( i picked her up the day she came out but stopped playimg her when they lowered her burst potential however im back to her because she fits my play style ) and would love to hear which role you play her ...I go top
