r/TaliyahMains

what to do?

I’ve been thinking abut Zeri’s kit a lot and how it can overlap with Taliyah. They’re both squishy and lower range (compared to other mages/ADC), but they have speed. I’ve only played Zeri in ARAM but I’ve enjoyed it, and want to try learning her in SR. Is she easier to pick up for us bc the positioning and attacking skills we built on Taliyah can transfer easily?

Would love to hear yalls thoughts on this…

Hey guys , im master taliyah otp even if i have bad matchup i still love to pick her . Im number 7 taliyah on eune server and i got around 1.2mil on her but still seems somehow that i cannot beat diana or zed no matter how i play ( im not really talking about solo killing them , more about surviving lane even so i can teamfight ) . Diana Q poke has broken hitbox it always seems to hit me even if it doesnt and zed can close distance to easy after just one item and onetap . Seems really like thise matchups are so unfair in a way and i cannot ban either of them since i ban katarina also which is also easy lane but she always seems to win the game late 1v5 even if you solokill her 5 times. So does anyone have any advice even lower rated players who found some success against zed or diana as taliyah . Would really appreciatte your help <3 . I know about bone plating i know about seraphs shield ive tried barrier but it looks like either i lack dmg or they onetap me anyway

Taliyah is not in pro jail. She isn’t even a top pick in pro play. She is underpowered for no reason. Any other champ in the game is easier to pick up and way more rewarding. I wasted so much time on this champ…500k exp on her and it’s still not enough to carry. I regret spending money on skins. I wish I could file a dispute with my credit card and get it refunded, or at least exchange the skin for a more useful champ like Ahri.

They both have similar playstyles but Ahri is way easier to pick up and more powerful than Taliyah. She is also more popular. Perhaps her physical appearance plays a role here (Ahri is oversexualized), and I wonder if riot blatantly favors her. Before anyone jumps in with the “bUt TaLiYaH R”, her ult can be flashed through or even climbed over or broken by certain champs, & it’s a non-damaging ability.

Is Riot trying to push Ahri as the premier roaming mage at the expense of Taliyah?
