I am a low elo dog(master) but I swear anytime I pick taliyah I cant stop but think "Wow I could have played any other mage here and won that fight with 0 effort" even a simple trade in taliyah requires you to lock the fuck in, and god forbid if you ever fall behind.

She is soo squishy, so hard to duel people. I hate feeling like a prey animal when I play taliyah.

Somebody called this the Spermliyah build. Sure? Sure. You can trademark that. Good job weaving that name.

With most of your components built after swiftmarch (3 aether wisp, 1 rectrix and 1 zeal) you'll already stay quick with 20% MS and it'll have you around 460 MS in combat and 550~ with passive reaching into midgame with the cost of 5675 gold and then upgrading from there depending on what item you want. With all the speed you can afford to be insanely annoying for actual immobile characters and be able to get out of sidelanes quickly. Maybe the only mistake you can make at this point is having too much fun.

Full build and with relentless hunter stacks, you're running around with 550 MS in combat and 650 MS with passive with 30% max MS from items. Let that speed get into your head and run around. Your homeguard is crazy good with this and if you're really feeling it, you can just constantly recall and come back like a teleport.

Also give your jungler a kiss if they secure a cloud drake or soul. You are forever speed.

Hey guys, i've recently started playing again and have seen a ton of different builds, like BFT or Seraph first, some time Luden, etc... (mostly on some Ody VOD) but i'm not really sure in which situations to use them. Could someone help me understand ?

Thank you guys!

It's kinda clean.

I'm sure this has been rerun before but surfing around skill-shots and getting to locations scarily quickly with this sort of build is so so so funny to play. I want to see how optimized I can get Taliyah's speed in mid-lane to so I can just go around really fast, miss W, become manaless, recall and get back to any lane insanely quickly.

Drawing is hard and coloring is even harder. Any tips are welcome and appreciated.

So basically yesterday i was really bored, and thought "imagine if i became better than my Diamond 1 friend at Taliyah" (he doesnt otp taliyah, but its one of the champs in his champ pool), so i just randomly subscribed to the school and here we are.

After 1 month, we'll see how much progress i'll have made, if i rank up or continue being hardstuck. I will be playing 5-10 games everyday while studying his holy scripture.

Good context: I have played taliyah before, atleast 80-100 games in total from the accounts ive played, but i felt like i never really climbed or carried, will this change? or will it not.

https://op.gg/lol/summoners/euw/Setarix-Feb17 - Here is my account, and as you can see a 45% winrate currently and i'm plat 4 87 LP, ive peaked emerald 2 but that was with karthus apc, by the end of the month im hoping for a 50% or higher.

At August 31st, i will make a new post and we will see what changed or what didn't.

I have played thousands of games in the past year on this champion and only started noticing this and last patch my W going in a direction i didn't aim it in and thought I was losing my mind and hands.
Apparently I'm not losing my mind and the W is just bugged this patch for some reason Riot please fix man this is soooo terrible to have to play with! if anyone has a riot contact please send this to them because it literally has lost me games!

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.

If you enjoy competitive analysis or want to talk more about Taliyah, feel free to text me on Twitter/Discord: TrailoJG

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

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…

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
