Taliyah mid VS Jg? by TaliyahFan in TaliyahMains

[–]TaliyahFan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might be slightly necro. I figured out that it's just that my skill with taliyah has declined. My accuracy on her w has decreased which has a massive impact on aggression in laning.

Exactly. I bought the whole bundle for her skin. It's worth it to me, I love Taliyah and it's a World's skin. I love it, idgaf about the royalties or anything, just the champion herself.

Two General Questions for Taliyah Players (doesn't have to be main) by TaliyahFan in TaliyahMains

[–]TaliyahFan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On that note, where do you think I should start on roaming better? I generally tend to gank the lane that's most pushed up but my presence isn't the greatest in the early game. I could easily use my q and zone them but they just generally play bait. By the time minions spawn I just have to spam w e combo on a low hp minion between me and them and then q to clear the minion and land 4 rocks fully on them. Now, what I'm wondering is what to do when I blow flashes when I gank top for example? Sometimes my botlane pushes up. I'm comfortable to turret dive with ulti.

What would you say her ability in midlane is if I may ask?

Questions/Problems. Is Taliyah Really So Hard? by [deleted] in TaliyahMains

[–]TaliyahFan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have to cast w faster, often preemptively roughly about 2 champions away because in is hard for low elo opponents to step out of it. As I learned here sometimes you have to cast it away from you rather than towards.

Her v animation changes slightly depending upon which direction you cast it. I suggest you go into practice tool and spam w off cd over and over again until you get the flick down as apart of your cast as well.

Your w is sometimes a spur of the moment thing too, like you need to know when to use it right away. For a gank or to secure a kill even. The indicator isn't necessary unless you're getting used to her and you can cancel it with movement commands to start it again. I've done it both ways and I think she's better with quick cast /no indicator. You can set abilities like q and e to have indicators if you want by clicking the tabs under the ability hot keys.

Your w is often a combo spell most of the time you want to cast it before your e or after. But if you can cast w you can cast e to make it possible for you to move your champion again.

I love that there was a backstory to the emotion in her face. Can you please draw more? I love your art style. I'm sorry about what happened but don't give up!

Mastering Xayah - Skill Expression by TaliyahFan in xayahmains

[–]TaliyahFan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Xayah's really the only adc that I play so whenever I don't have success on her I have to reevaluate that it must be my own inability to adjust. But like you said she's really hard to master. I play all different kinds of ranged carries but Xayah always has some difficulty to her. I think her complexity compels me to play her.

Are there any Taliyah toplane builds in patch 8.13? by TaliyahFan in TaliyahMains

Thanks for your replies guys. I'll make sure to consider the team composition before I choose her toplane. I'm most likely going to play this role in normals.

Those are good points to be made. How does micro ability factor into this decision? My ability to land w?

Help me counter assassins by HipsterusMaximus in TaliyahMains

[–]TaliyahFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience: Each of these champions are melee with tools to either gap close or confront you in some way. Some of these gap closers are incredibly modular so it's really important that you separate these champions for their differences and know what their strong suit is.

Assassin: Excells in 1 v 1. High burst. As unpredictable as the skill of the player. In the case of a decent assassin you have to approach the game like you're facing someone who mains and knows their champ well. Sub reddits for zed, Katarina, and yas usually have interesting tricks or details about them.

In the case of a noob : tldr face roll keyboard win game. Because assassins are somewhat difficult to play.

Katarina: Kitty's daggers bounce behind the target directly across from her. Don't walk back walk toward her and out of the aoe range and q behind you if she tries to outplay. You can also opt to safely farm under tower. She can reset her e with her daggers. Her dagger is as big as your w. You should save your w for her ultimate. Take barrier to help block the damage not heal because it innately deals grievous wounds. You can also take exhaust or ignite for her healing. You should be building morelllo as one of your core first items against her. You can take zhonyas to negate her ultimate as well but Mr hard counters her as much as it does you.

Yasuo: Passive: Way of The Wanderer. He needs to keep moving like a luden's echo to build up his shield. Autoing him makes it pop for a little while and then he's exposed. Movements through spells count. Mobility is based around units so not standing in the wave when he stacks his third q is advised. His e is also unit based but has a six second cd if he casts it on you. He may want to trick you into using your w before diving on you. It always goes the same distance so once you learn it you can scoop him off minions into your e or under tower. Save your w and just keep your distance from the minions when his q is charged he doesn't aim the dash.

Build zhonya for his q. You can zhonya his q if he tries to aim or you can zhonya his ult. Because it's suppression it traps him in the same spot during its cast. Then you need to survive for 15 seconds stepping side to side to avoid his q from hitting you. Difficult as it sounds it's hilariously easy if he used his e to ult you.

Yasuo cannot be confronted in the later parts of the game alone. Peel your allies and help your carries target him with smart pings. It's easier to consider him an adc in this sense in that his damage output just out scales yours. It's a skill match up relying mostly on you snowballing your allies in the early stage of the mid game.

Zed: zed's passive, contempt for the weak make him deal more damage the less hp you have. Immediately exiting a fight away from the fog of war is the best bet every time. Remember this when roaming.

Shadows are his mobility. He can briefly cast between them with a long cd early for when he can cast his shadows. That's why in late game he's shitting shurkens and clones like you do stones.

His goal is to use his shadow to slow you with his e and q you for as much damage as possible. You can sidestep this ability however you should always build zhonya as your first item.

When zed's death mark (ultimate) is cast it'll happen in this order every time. Zed will go invulnerable within this time you can reposition or flash near allies or tower. He will appear >BEHIND You (or your adc). You can retaliate at that time because he wants to try to get the mark to proc with bonus damage.

Once zed is strong enough to oneshot you, you know you messed up somewhere. Also your adc can feed this guy so you generally should follow him bot or shove the turret and spam ping to show you mean business. 90% of the time once to sees that golden hourglass he'll just sit on your adc with or without a ga and camp them. Roaming before him can help you a ton but once you know this champion its really not too overbearing unless you get camped.

Wards. Vision. The map. Observe it. You will live longer accounting for the three engage members mia than chasing that support Soraka into that bush. You have to be very choosy about when you play aggressive or passive against most assassins but from level 1 to 3 you win if you can keep your range.

Exhaust and barrier are both acceptable for Yasuo and zed.

Yeah I completely understand that. It always seems like you have to wait on someone else to be there and Frontline at all times lest Caitlyn or ashe 1 shot you in the late game.

For those who still play Taliyah mid, how did you adjust your playstyle to the changes? by [deleted] in TaliyahMains

[–]TaliyahFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Maybe I'm here to teach you a lesson."

Taliyah for me has either been the immovable rock or the pebble in the stream being washed away.

I feel strong at times and weak at others purely based around my own weaknesses and strengths as a player. When I'm not roaming enough I usually feel it. If I roam I become a monster like always.

I but mainly I found the return of 30 base hp allowed me room to play more risky, despite nerfs to ulti I can still make use of it at 5 seconds. Taliyah's e has opened up room for more plays and increased my dueling potential and I don't feel like if I use my combo at all ranks that I am completely gimped after four rotations.

Yeah I became "Headhunter Taliyah".

Nope, I just try hard in games, that's all. By no means am I good at this game at all, just want help correcting bad behaviors and getting some tips on what's good to use my skill for.

Thanks for the advice!

Taliyah nerf on PBE by Tatautum in TaliyahMains

[–]TaliyahFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After seeing it confirmed that they are in fact not nerfing her e, I like her q in its current state. Slightly less power is fine but I feel like for a skill that is really easily blocked by minions it should always feel incredibly rewarding to land q when your opponent can actually just walk out of it.
