I don't know why. I think she rocks how she is. http://67.media.tumblr.com/cd76dd03ce157bf40c19909d4d7f1171/tumblr_inline_o17u50SWej1t9afeo_540.gif

Riot thinks they could lure more playing into playing taliyah by changing her W into vector cast and so making it possible to cast W before E to get a smoother combo. (It's currently not possible because you cannot cast another spell for the time casting W). They think people avoid playing taliyah for that reason. But her W how it is is totally fine. Vector cast isn't that good. the double click was very good imo.

The second thing they meant was that Taliyah is at a 59% winrate after 30 games played. Many people still haven't found out how to play against Taliyah. (A Yasou in my Plat 1 game earlier was wondering that my E went through his windwall). She has a 4% pickrate. That means not many people play her thus the 59% winrate after enough games should be understandable. The winrate mostly doesn't even come from her damage output, it mostly is the Ult that makes her win so many games. If you land the ult good to initiate teamfights by splitting the enemy team, the game is basically won. Nerfing her damage output will just make people avoid playing her Midlane, since there are many other champions that deal more damage. (Viktor, Twisted Fate, Yasou etc.)

Honestly, I will probably stop playing Taliyah midlane next patch because I can't compete with other midlaners anymore. They'll make her combo smoother, yes. But the damage won't be enough to scare the enemies away anymore. They also plan to higher mana costs and W cooldown.

apparently those who mastered taliyah are sitting at around 70% win rates, i enjoy taliyah, and will continue to play her no matter what because she makes league fun for me. Her W-E combo is tricky but easy once you master it, since you can pop them into the E almost instantly if they're not expecting it. apparently they're nerfing her E and W for compensation of the W changes, because apparently that was "keeping her damage from sky rocketing". Even though you can delete any squishy with the combo right now anyways, idk how freedom to use W will make it go any higher than it already is.

What I fear is that once they change her W, its going to become so much easier to land that they nerf her to compensate.

i just sad they were going to do that lol, her E and W are nerfed just because it'll be easier to land W, even though its already easy to land it if you know what you're doing

They should just let her how she is now. The double cast is alright. No need for vector cast. Her damage is high, she can delete squishies easy, but so can viktor and twisted fate too. I would agree if they wanted to nerf her early damage, but other than that, she is completely fine. Her high winrate is the result of her Ultimate, since the right use of her ultimate can win a game even when you're 20k gold behind.
