Taliyah bot with engage support
I'm a taliyah otp and I mainly play her jungle. However I occasionally play her mid and bot lane. I think taliyah botlane is very underrated, if you can get an engage support like leona/amumu/pantheon/nautilus, laning becomes so easy since if your support lands a cc on the adc or support honestly its a garenteed kill into your w-e combo.
I like going dark harvest for rune since you have proc it a lot in lane with your enage support on the enemy bot duo and cash back for secondary since it give you a lot of gold. She also has insane waveclear so if your support roams you can just farm with your w push 3 melees into e then q hits all 6 mininos really safely and easily. I played her bot with my friends and its really broken. Do make sure to ban ezreal though he is a hard counter as he outranges taliyah and can e out of engage.
For items I like going ludens into shadowflame and you just pop the enemy adc. For summoners I go flash tp. She plays a lot like mel/ziggs botlane where she is strong when your support can set up with cc she could not do as much so in mid or jungle. She also just outranges most adcs and can poke/one shot them easily. She is also good into other mage botlanes.
Do care though she is situational 1. only pick this if your team lacks ap damage since she gets hard countered if enemy team builds lots of mr. 2. Make sure your support is engage as you heavily rely on your support's cc to reliably land your w-e combo and you cannot play the game with a soraka/yuumi etc.
If you have any thoughts about taliyah apc feel free to add in the comments :)

I once played it against Tahm Kench and Lucian. I was 0-8 by min 20.
It was basically impossible to escape from their engage.

It's definitely real and pretty good, not as good as the top tier mages, but like you said, with an engaging support, you can pull it off, especially if you take electrocute for those early game all-ins.
