Taliyah counters the **** out of Rakan

Funkin Dunkin··8 votes·1,610 views

So I just played a game where the enemy team had our new favorite duo bot lane. So as the support I went Taliyah knowing that Rakan is pretty much 100% dash. Holy shit the amount of damage he takes just from E alone. You don't even need to land a W. E Q will pretty much chunk him 80%. Xeyah was still a problem with her range but overall it was a very easy lane for Taliyah + Lucian

Don't tell too many people. I don't want a second patch 6.14 to Taliyah

"E Q will pretty much chunk him 80%."

I did the math and this is not true unless you are super fed, otherwise i agree.

I think they were exaggerating, not being literal.

I'd play Taliyah more if her ult weren't useless in 80% of times

Her ult is a trap or a quick travel. It's not meant to be used offensively.

Taliyah's ult is ALYWAYS useful. Her ult is what keeps her from being shit tier right now. If her ult appears to be useless, you just don't use it right.

I mean basically anyone that's ranged or has a long ability spell attacks counters him especially since he needs to be so close to enemy champions especially early game it's difficult to land your skills without taking a lot of damage!

And you can throw your W down when he goes to W in, interrupt the knockup from his W, and knock him back into your minefield so he takes the damage from it twice.

I just learned that the hard way. I was rakan and every tiem I tried to W taliyah, I was dead in half a second. Then I finally got why I was dying so fast, I completely forgot you take dmg if you dash over taliyah's E.

I think you're the one who I played. Was Lucian the adc?

It was not him, unless he uses multiple accounts.

Unless the Rakan had no idea how to build MR, then the minefield shouldn't be doing relevant damage to him.

He is super squishy. You won't have the cash early to build MR.
