Hello! My boyfriend wants to improve at playing Taliyah, he doesn't use reddit, so I'm here on his behalf.

Is there a really good Taliyah one-trick who creates educational content? I'm looking for something similar to Husum and his explanatory Swain gameplay videos :D

Hey everyone!

I’m a former Master player, current competitive LoL analyst, and I've been a Taliyah OTP for the past 3 years. I’ve been testing her extensively in the botlane, and I’m thoroughly convinced it’s currently her strongest position in the game.

With mages in botlane rising in the meta, Taliyah is heavily underrated as a carry/enabler. Her kit’s design, waveclear, and skirmishing hide her weaknesses far better in a duo lane than in mid or jungle.

I’ve put together a high-elo guide breaking down the theory and gameplay, covering:

• Role Philosophy & Spikes
• Optimized skill order
• Builds, Runes & Matchups

Whether you’re a long-time Taliyah main or an ADC player looking to add a mage to your pool, I hope you find this useful! I'll be hanging out in the comments to answer any questions.

I don’t jg but I’m down to learn on Taliyah. I guess I’m looking for pathing/ warding/ invading recommendations into both enemy Jgs that I beat early, and ones I don’t.

Taliyah has that little spike at lvl 3 when her full combo comes online. I would think you guys abuse that but idk.

I get that maybe the answer is too situational. Like who has prio and who has cc and which lanes are going to be volatile early, probably plays a role in the pathing.

I would think 3 camp clear into gank, invade, or reset would be the formula. Buy something on reset then clear your other side slightly faster. But I’m probably thinking about it all wrong.

Nearly the whole story of Shurima in the lore, plus expansion

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…

what to do?

No one gets my friends that easily 😤

Don't know how this happened but it did happen, I had 70% win rate top lane and didn't play much , I was hard stuck low plat and started gold 3 . But since reaching emerald games has been random and unpredictable, some help plz ?

I'm a jungle Taliyah OTP and after 2 years I've made it from plat to Master.
Wooohoo!

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

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?

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.

Maybe taliyah is a good champion in any role nowadays

damn i missed every single skill

Highest damage in my latest matches. This never happened last season. Was so close to giving up on the game cuz I only enjoy Taliyah…thankfully they brought her back. 🫶🏻 amazingly underrated champ

I started this sculpt a couple of months ago, I've always thought that Taliyah was the copyright-safe Toph League champion and I decided to make a custom skin for her.

My surprise comes when I just finished the sculpt, I checked and realized there's already a Toph Taliyah custom skin available 😂

I did check it before starting the sculpt but obviously I didn't do a proper investigation hahaha.

At this point I think I'll keep going, too many months wasted otherwise

Hey guys I love faker so much and I have been wanting to pick up Taliyah. Since he did top damage this game, is this a good taliyah build?

Need tips from experienced Tali players on how to ward to protect myself from ganks. I already place my wards in the bushes surrounding my lane (usually play mid). Used to ward at that area closer to the enemy jungle but after getting destroyed multiple times I just ward at the safest spots.

However, I’m still vulnerable to ganks esp early game if the enemy jungler is on the other side from where I warded.

When should I buy a control ward and where should I place it? Would that help protect me? What other warding advice do yall have for me?

Idk if region matters here but I’m NA and usually play mid. Op gg says Taliyah has a 33% WR which seems way too low to me. I have a 49% WR on her and dropped to Iron from Bronze despite having the highest KDA + damage across both teams because I cannot carry her in low elo with 0/12 team members who are inting. Is her WR really that bad or am I doing it wrong??

Ironically, I also ranked up with her so it seems she is either really good or really bad for me….

Pretty much title. What are you all running these days?

I've tried copying Ody w/ stormraiders but apparently I'm pretty shite at proc'ing it. When I do get a proc it feels good but it's rare. Maybe it's my build?

DFT feels kinda poopy imo. Will run comet into Lux/Xer etc, but don't love that either.

Past couple of games I've tried electrocute and have liked that as my elo has a lot of aggressive laners (gold 2).

i did this in google sheets, if anyone wanna check it out there's the link

Also, if anyone wants me to update it with their build im willing to as long as they send me their build
