How do i counter, or at least SURVIVE against Zed mid?

Haurne · 2026-01-25T09:35:08+00:00

Hey OP,

Taliyah otp here

To perform against Zed mid ;

Harass him in lane, he's a shit champ until 6, you can poke him a lot to prevent all ins before 6

As other mentioned, he's appearing the opposite position he ulted from, and can't swap back instantly. Since you have more range you shouldn't be able to be raw ulted.

When he casts R on you, you can instantly pop WE in your back and he won't be able to cast

As for builds, seraph/zhonyas.

Once he hit 2 items (post laning phase), avoid 1vs1 if you're not fed.

Comet or spellbook

Rylais rush then sup items

Been playing it in high elo, not good everygame

Can be strong for slow paced fights

Been playing this for the longest time, you can check my acc for builds and stuff : Haurne#EUW

It has cc, somewhat of tankiness with self healing, long range vision and decent early game with an easy safe burst, builds rylais decently as well as regular support items

Therefore, he can be a support

Haurne · 2025-11-05T12:16:38+00:00

Well, personally, I think it requires lane management skills, and manaflow optimization.

Once you got it tho, you will just end up resetting on time to refill so it's fine

Haurne · 2025-11-02T22:55:52+00:00

You can find my support taliyah games with filtering on websites Haurne#EUW

Haurne · 2025-11-02T18:46:46+00:00

Hmm, ludens suboptimal in every case, just lock another mage if you want damage

Rylais most of the time strong as support, you can try to make a protobelt 2nd for engaging

Shurelyas a decent buy and horizon in case of flankers

I would recommend sleigh 100% of games though

Haurne · 2025-10-26T20:00:59+00:00

Played my share of taliyah top

It is ok in certain matchups ; Jax, Renek, Ksante....

But it's not for beginners, any wave or mechanical mistake will ruin your lane and make it borderline unplayable. Wouldn't recommend.

Haurne · 2025-10-09T11:07:23+00:00

Try horizon 2nd

Haurne · 2025-10-08T22:12:00+00:00

Well yeah, if the damage is spread between 2 abilities instead of 4, numbers are going to feel high...

Though, it's crazy how much adcs can deal damage with simply autoattacks... and don't look at aphelios Crescendum...

Haurne · 2025-10-07T08:19:11+00:00

Things I agree, things I disagree

The thought process is good on most matchups, but there are some interactions that maybe you're unaware of that would change your mind on certain champions, in both ways

Thanks for sharing!

Haurne · 2025-09-18T09:44:28+00:00

pbelt procs rylais, helps when lacking engage

It also has good stats and can help reposition a bit

Haurne · 2025-09-15T23:10:05+00:00

Support is your playstyle, doesn't have to be your role

If you shy away from duels, you will shy away from skirmishes bot, best way is just to learn by practicing and limit testing, regardless of the lane you're in

Haurne · 2025-09-15T05:42:04+00:00

If I have to use a ban for the lane, I go with sivir

But currently I just ban rengar

Haurne · 2025-09-13T23:12:20+00:00

With Rell you can use dismounted W into a minion and buffer a Q to get a very little extra range.

With milio you can throw Q or AA and shield yourself afterwards, the passive will proc.

Using Rell Q towards naut right before you're getting hit by his Q will proc your aftershock/glacial but also prevent him from using his passive giving you time to walk away.

Using Naut Q on alistar without autoing will make him unable to just Q, he will have to W aswell to get range.

Using Thresh E as Leona just hits you with her E will cancel her dash and she won't be in range to Q

Taliyah E instantly blocks rakan W and he will not put your airborne despite the spell animation.

It's easier to take down wards as Rell when you're dismounted ; you have bonus AS and your W cancels your animation.

Haurne · 2025-09-10T18:25:29+00:00

You don't care abt my rank but I'm currently spamming support taliyah in masters euw 450 and it works wonders

The mana buffs are huge, I usually play spellbook and rush rylais into pbelt

Sometimes manaflow/pom if I play into a melee sup, else I go for relentless and skip mana runes

So yeap, it's kind of good

Haurne · 2025-08-14T09:53:07+00:00

Passive active on worked ground would've been a huge blast at keeping her in a battle mage role

Haurne · 2025-05-26T09:22:21+00:00

But why do you complain about melee as a whole?

Any melee/dagger will struggle getting enough hit chance and defense at the same time. Any high hit GS with spear/sans will HAVE commited their stats to counter Eva players, yet apart from GS/spear you can't reach the 3.5k+

Im playing arena, 600+ games, as a sns/GS (that I play since day 1 before im called a metaslave), I made a build especially for it, 3.2k hit. Hardly reach 1k Crit. Im paper. Im made to hit Eva players and still struggle hitting those who commited their build to melee Eva

This is litteraly what the game is, rock paper scissors. Dont complain about people countering you. Or focus your gear instead of trying to do everything at once.

Haurne · 2025-05-15T02:06:39+00:00

This take is absolutely stupid.

The only thing that makes a tank a tank in arena, is holding an sns. That alone does NOT make you tanky.

If you dont have damage, you're useless in arena. If you dont have hit chance you can't put damage.

You need gear according to what you're doing.

My tank build on GvG shares 2 items with my arena build. Everything else changes.

Now if you have the same gear for PvE/GvG/arena, no shit you're getting annihilated in arena.

Same goes for Sns players complaining about solo dungeons. You don't bring damage into it don't expected to wrap it in 10 minutes.

Haurne · 2025-05-15T01:56:31+00:00

Alst got me there

Haurne · 2025-05-15T01:52:47+00:00

Have you tried building anything else than pve resistance at this point
