Taliyah W: How I think it should work

dim2a··4 votes·704 views

On quickcast: The cast should start as soon as you press W. With range clamping (I could get used to without, but I think it's much better with). Then move mouse in desired direction, and release W (like vector casting, BUT the starting of cast on first W press is important).

On normal cast: I don't know actually, I don't use normal cast.

======================= This way how fast you finish inputting direction is not that important -- Taliyah has high "strategic" learning curve (where to place your wall or E, etc), I don't see what adding "how fast you can mesh keys in the right order" adds to the champion, so would rather it not be a large factor if possible.

It took me a game or two to get used to original W. I really loved playing taliyah (> 100 games on her before last patch). But now.. played 4-5 games, still can not get W consistent, and with other changes (that deserve a post of its own), decided I'll abandon her, as she no longer fits my style -- learning to mash keys fast is not as interesting to me as learning to make right decisions. A pity, she was my favorite champion.

I say remove the Vector Casting paradigm altogether because it doesn't fit Taliyah at all.

Normal cast should make the skill activate as soon as left click is held down. When held down, you should be able to drag into the direction you want to throw while the skill is being cast. If not held down and instead released early, the skill will just simply knock the target location upwards. This would give the flowing feeling to the people who wanted Vector Casting controls, but still gives her old mains a chance at her older playstyle.

As a Taliyah player this new change threw me off completely. I've been throwing W's behind me.I even play Viktor and have Mastery 7 on both champs yet this new W just feels so weird. It's just feels wrong cause with Viktor you're mainly aiming towards your enemy, but with Taliyah you have aim towards yourself for the EW combo. This change just irks me.

Normal cast is basically like viktors deathray.
