Those spell particles are completely on point.
The way she spins during Threaded Volley is just awesome.

Sharjo at the speed of light
Facebook video as a gameplay preview for those (like me) who can't wait: https://www.facebook.com/leagueoflegends/videos/10157102718095556
Vayne mains are ready to beg for roams.
Does anyone else think her art style doesn't match the rest at all?
She looks like a mage I'd be interested to try.
Though I do hope the next champion is a tank, or at least melee. The last one melee champ was 
with 
being the last tank.
You know i had a concept for a champion with the same Q T-T now i'll need to think of something else
I want to know why her Ult is practically the same as Aurelion Sol's E. Sure it creates a wall, but in principle, it achieves a lot of the same purpose. Also like his E, Taliyah's passive is incredibly similar to Sol's E's passive, with three exception that she has to be near terrain. Additionally, her Q shares a similar aesthetic with Sol's orbiting stars. I was kind of hoping for more diversity, but it almost seems like the two design teams for her and Sol were cross contaminating each other, or one of the champs was the leftover skill ideas from the other. I like her concept though, and her spells do seem neat.
Riot is releasing so many champions so fast and it makes me mad >.< i can't get used to them all at once.
my first impressions... I think the story is cool, her design is really cool with the bird parallels... but her face feels uncanny valley weird and i don't think her kit comes together very well
we have a mage with poke, that literally runs out of poke we have an initiator that likely can't survive initiating or will get caught out trying to get an angle to wall accross the team we have a roaming champ with out real hard cc (minus the ult with almost a 3 minute cooldown at rank 1) and we have a zone control mage who literally can 'out zone' herself putting down too many fields that lower her dps we also have a 'roaming zone control' mage whose passive limits her movement options, unless she takes time to set up zones... which means she can't roam very effectively. she also has good 'support like' abilities with peel and slows... but with every ability being aoe, she wouldn't work well as a support i think
Don't get me wrong, i think all of the abilities in her kit are really interesting, especially her E and her passive rock surfing LOOKS awesome... but i don't think it all works together on one champion
hey... i just realized, her w is an upside down malphite E. every time i see her cast w. i picture a malphite on the other side of the ground punching people into the air... maybe it's just me.. but anyone else think that rock formation looks like a fist? (or riot logo in stone?)
Everything looks great, but god damn.. again a champion without an ult that does dmg.
looks awesome. also completely copied from the earth benders of Avatar the last airbender. not even a shout out to the creators of Avatar? can we get a blind small girl skin after Toph?
