Tips Against Taliyah in the Jungle Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
ak521 says “This is more of a "who is better" match up... an experienced Taliyah can be a pain in the ass for you and your teammates while a newbie one may almost guarantee a win and allow you to 1v1 them. Try following them where they gank and get them behind as it's slightly hard for Taliyah to get back up with a weak early. Likewise it's hard to put down a Taliyah with a strong lead unless she throws.”
KamiKZ says “This match up is Graves favored. You can always 1v1 Taliyah and contest Taliyahs camps aslong as you dodge her E or Q with your E. If you are behind you can buy Hexdrinker and you should still be able to 1v1 her as long as she is not miles ahead of you. ”
KamiKZ says “Due to her fast early game clear she will be on the map a bit sooner than you and often looking to make an early play so look to punish her and secure vision to inform your team so they can react accordingly. This is a matchup where you can jump on her early and win in most cases as long as you combo properly. You should gain a larger advantage as the game progresses as Kha Zix will usually outscale.”
colingogo says “You farm faster, kill faster, are invisible, and more mobile. Literally hit six then kill her off R cd in her jungle. Unplayable matchup for Taliyah.”
Polarshift says “Extremely annoying abilities to verse against. First of all she is AP. Second of all, you are a champion that wants to get close to his enemies and she wants the exact opposite. To finish, her abilities just counter you to oblivion (Q does counter you, but her E is the ultimate counter.) You definitely want to run Phase Rush and get an MR item.”
KevinThyAsian says “Taliyah is weird, I don’t like vs’ing her. But no one plays her. She one shots you like butter, a good taliyah is hard to verse, catch her off guard in her jg and try to kill her, counterganking is also easy, but engaging her when she has everything up is risky.”
Karasmai says “The reason she fits under hard is because she will DESTROY a Rhaast so i will always recommend going Blue and if you go blue you must snowball before she gets zhonya, otherwise it’ll take a long time to out dmg it enough to burst thru the zhonya. She's not too hard to ignore tho so you can always dive her backline. She farms pretty fast but kinda weak early so if you can look to invade as much as possible.”
manco1 says “Taliyah's one shot potential on you is strong so you just want to avoid her. Don't go for counter ganks just work on tracking her movements to help out your team. ”
Eagzey says “Good for AP Shaco. Dodge her E and play around cooldowns, should be easy. Pressuring early game is important too - she has long cooldowns.”
Veralion says “I don't get why people still play this, honestly. The only threatening thing on the entire champion is her W. Avoid that ability at all costs, you'll take a tremendous amount of damage. If you juke or flash it, she's absolutely helpless and very easily run down with a red buff. Your W makes you too fast for her to connect with more than 1 or 2 rocks of her Q. Post 6 just throw yourself at her and collect your money. ”
Karthus man says “Taliyah isn't played a lot, but people good at her, are really hard to beat. The way to beat her is by scaling and killing her fast while she focuses your team.”
Minase says “This is a joke of a matchup, you do everything she does infinitely better and there's nothing she can do about it. Literally the only way you lose the game is by disconnecting.”
Frozerlol says “She's free food in the early game under Diamond 3 because noone know how to play her properly but she will be a pain in the butt in the late.”
Rhoku says “Taliyah is very annoying to deal with due to her movement speed and her self peel. It is small but very quick so she can easily put you in a position where you eat a full combo. She is not as difficult to get to as Kindred though. Once you stay on her, MAKE SURE not to be knocked back. Ghost helps with this a lot. Just don't take too much ranged damage so that once you get to her, you just kill her straight up. Taliyah can be very devastating when fed so try not to die to her too much. She is VERY EASY to oneshot once she is in your melee range though.”
DemacianStandard says “Free invades without counterplay. Just use an Oracle Lens while doing so. Play around their early game and invade if they attempt a gank. ”
DixeyNormis says “tal has a good anti Wowo... good range, hard hitter and an a little faster than wolfman early on try your best to read jg and place wards and encourage your team to also do this.”
Dopamine_influx says “One shot her with triple Q early ! Try to get early vision and guess her first gank, or guess if she fullclears and invade accordingly. If you're not sure, try to end up on the same scuttle and fight there. If she starts blue, go red blue red, it works most of the time (ward her raptors early). You win even without triple Q tho.”
Xeldom says “Easy match-up. Do not let her land her e/w combo on you. Keep vision control of the river. She is weak in 2v2's if you have ultimate ready. Make sure to invade her and kill her when she uses her abilities on camps.”
AWierdShoe says “Hard matchup. Taliyah has more range than you with her Q and can kite you hard (though you can avoid it with your E). If you try to run, she can use her E+W combo to knock you back into her and burst you down with her AP damage. Best thing to do is try to invade early and rush Hexdrinker.”
Comrade Eshgrim says “She isn't very popular nowadays so you won't see her much. If you do, you can invade her with red buff cheese. Try not to hop over her "minefield".”
Hide on Nidalee says “Who plays Taliyah??? Ok, no matter, its a skill match too, but you have a little advantage that is your Q range, if you be able to hit her with a Q at maximus range you can kill her easy”
DarkPit59 says “Taliyah Jungle est un excellent pick qui possède de quoi vous punir quand elle vous trouve dans sa jungle. Elle contre votre E amélioré avec son défilage tellurique. Elle peut également setup d'énormes ganks avec son ultime. Trackez la dans sa jungle quand son ultime est indisponible car elle reste un mage fragile.”
Sorrowful Prince says “Her combo is easy to dodge for you and she is an easy burst target. Be careful with counterganks at lv 3, it might go really bad for you. If she snowballs try to crossmap and stay relevant, you will outscale.”
Morzanoth says “Taliyah is a bit of a tough match up. She can harass you while keeping her distance and deny you dashing on her with her shove. She will clear faster than you but she is more cooldown reliant than you are. If you can get on her you can kill her as long as you are the same level. At level 6 you can get a little more aggressive but be careful. If you land your ult you should almost always kill her. She has a lot of map presence due to her passive and ult so look to punish her with counter jungling where possible. ”
SR Trogo says “Taliyah is here because a good one can send you away from her team with her W, but the main problem is the wall. You can't pass the wall, so she will split your team when taking objectives and make the whole thing a hell. Fortunately she's quite weak when she's counterganked once her W is on cooldown.”
Maltz says “Taliyahs effectivness scales really hard off the player playing her. avoid getting hit by her combo with by using you R and you should win”
Killerbacca10 says “You body her. Don't 1v1 her. However in teamfights you want walk forward and she dies. She can outplay you if shes good so don't get too cocky.”

Tips Against Taliyah in Middle Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
FalleN3 says “Taliyah out-damages you in the early game & if she manages to land a combo on you, it'll hurt a lot. Use Movement Speed Quints & MR Glyphs for this match up and play safe to level 6. Once you have Tibbers, you should be able to all in her no problem.”
eiensiei says “No reason whatsoever to be in her W range, I'll farm and poke safely with E. If I land a Q, I'll follow it up with a full combo and force her back. Post-6 she'll be looking for roams around the map and needs to be pinged as missing immediately, her R makes me reach side lanes very fast.”
Sylvan Lore says “Taliyah is pretty good against Orianna as you can't really obstruct her play style of shove in and roam. Its unlikely you will win a trade with her before level 6 since she has such high base damage in her combo with good range as well. Play safe and go for an all in after level 6. Since she doesn't really have a combat Ult, you should be able to win in the 1v1 eventually. Make sure to ward well and call out her roams to your allies to avoid her snowballing the map.
Recommend: Barrier and Dmg Build”
Fuzzmonkey says “Since Taliyah's AOE nerf on her Q she has been a lot more easier to kill and not get poked by her so often, the only thing you need to avoid when playing against her is her W+E combo. If you can avoid this she is extremely vulnerable and can be killed with ease. Waveclear is also not a problem since her Q is only a single target damage ability. ”
sweodigaming says “She has good sustain and control over the whole map due to her R. She his easy to harass and her skill shots are easy to dodge. You can burst her, but she can't.”
CaptianMike says “Fairly skill oriented. Her full combo can easily deal half your heal in early-early mid game. I find that Taliyas usually take barrier so don't mind trying to ult her unless she already used it. Get magic resist soon as she will punish you for your mistakes. And as with all match-ups: The late game is yours.”
Sanctuar says “Taliyah players tend to do two things: First, they can push the wave fairly easy with her combined abilities, and second, they will look for an opportunity to knock you back into their full combo with her W. Dodging her abilities shouldn't be hard with the mobility your E provides, and since she has no ultimate for a 1vs1, fighting her shouldn't be much of a problem. Be careful about her roaming, because with her ultimate it is superior to yours.”
Fuzzmonkey says “Since Taliyah's W doesn't have the range your Q-E combo does, you shouldn't have any problems with range in this match up. Q poke as often as you can and avoid her W, you should win this match up if you follow the above.”
Coldsong says “Taliyah has very good waveclear and poke, along with good disengage with her E + W. Make sure to follow her when she roams, and E over her R when she traps you.”
Coldsong says “Taliyah has great poke and burst, plus she can use her R to either engage or disengage if she uses it correctly. Harass her early and stun her if you see her about to R.”
7daysko says “Skill Matchup. You can probably afford to be aggressive early. She's also easy to gank. Watch out for her roams during mid-game and you'll be fine.”
Yeager says “The new taliyah wins early trades if she hits her combo. Stay behind minions since her Q isn't AOE anymore, so it will be blocked completely.
You have to watch out for her lvl 3-4 spike, and focus on dodging her W. If you dodge it, she will lose most of her damage, so you can trade back. Getting boots early helps a lot.
She's a roaming champion and you can't really match her early on, unless you have teleport!
You scale much better lategame.”
elnino9 says “Trade against Taliyah when her W is on CD, she tends to be squishy, just like vel'koz or ziggs. Her strong strait is pushing in waves so try your best to push against the wave and keep pressure on her, don't let her push waves for free, punish her for shoving in. She uses a bunch of ability to do-so so she won't have a strong retaliation when you jump her besides her rock knockback which can be avoided if you anticipate it.”
FalleN3 says “Taliyah out-ranges you a lot and if she manages to land a combo on you, it'll hurt a lot. Play safe and dodge her skills until level 6. Early laning phase will be difficult but once you get your ultimate up she should be no problem for you to 100-0. You can try to take advantage of her if she misses her (W)+(E), use your (Q)+(W)+AA and then (E) to escape to safety. ”
AP WormMaW Mid says “Talyah will have upper hand expecially early, because she can clear waves way too fast. That will force you to farm under the tower and overall you will have to stay back, because if she hits her combo without you having any MR, you can flop really fast. Though again once when you scale up a bit, she will have problem dealing with your high range abilities.”
FalleN3 says “Taliyah out-ranges you quiet a bit and if she manages to land a combo on you, it'll hurt a lot. Play safe and dodge her skills until level 6. Early laning phase will be difficult but once you get your ultimate up she should be no problem for you to 100-0. ”
Big Shawn says “Taliyah is somewhat annoying, but vulnerable. She deals a lot of damage and through the range that the abilities have, it can get tricky to reach her. But if you reach her, she is very vulnerable as she has to react fast, and all her abilites require strategy. Where it has to be placed, aimed and vice versa.”
Fadedreformed says “No one play's taliyah mid anymore but should be easy. You cancel her q with yours, just don't get hit by her w and you should be fine. You can also cancel her ultimate with your q.”
DaggerTV_ says “Talia will utilize her q at all times, however, her combo comes from e w, and you can simply hop onto her, since its a teleport it wont trigger anything”
xXkillercrackXx says “taliyah can outpush, out poke, and out trade you at almost all points of the game. She can even match your roams with her ultimate. A pretty hard matchup to deal with, although she won't have too much kill pressure if you can dodge her skillshots.”
Yuki H. says “Taliyah can't really hit you through the minion wave with Q, but she definitely will try to combo you with her E->W combo. Try to bait her into doing so, and use your W to dodge the ability and waste her mana (you can all in her from here too).”
Veralion says “HoB/DH, beads. Easy to play in theory, but you do not have a lot of room for error in this lane. Her entire threat revolves around hitting her W. If she full combos you, you will either die or be forced to back. It does craptons of damage. AVOID HER W AT ALL COSTS. Boots 1 are a priority on your first back. If it's gonna catch you and you're hurt, just flash out. Don't take any chances. Aside from that, your W is able to get plenty of lateral distance to avoid her Q if you get caught with no creeps around to block it. You can't match her roams, so just shove like a madman, keep her pinned mid, and scale up. If she foolishly overroams and puts herself behind in XP, be ready to ragdoll her with your combo. Try setting up in the most likely bush for her to path back to lane through for a free combo. When the opportunity presents itself, R over her next W and eat her. She will absolutely melt. ”
Zoe Sparklepop says “Low Even
Due to your E, it's hard to catch you with Taliyah W so you should be able to outburst her always.
Your E pretty much messes up her entire kit with Q and W
Only thing you need to worry about is her control over the map with Ult”
snukumz says “Don't get hit by her CC and you'll be fine.
She can 100-0 you if you do get hit by her CC so be careful.
I haven't played against many Taliyah's mid but you similar levels of wave clear, or a slight advantage. Try to shove waves and not let her roam with her ult. ”
PepeOnDrugs says “Taliyah out-ranges you quiet a bit and if she manages to land a combo on you, it'll hurt a lot. Play safe and dodge her skills until level 6. Early laning phase will be difficult but once you get your ultimate up she should be no problem for you to 100-0.
”
Debonair Karma says “Karma might have a hard time fighting Taliyah because she has no mobility to dodge her W+E burst. Karma has a range advantage over Taliyah though, so try poking her when she approaches. Take teleport/barrier/ignite”
Gageowago says “If you are taken by surprise she can suddenly half health you with her combo. When laning against Taliyah try and stay behind minions to avoid her q and watch your feet to avoid getting hit by her W. You can poke from behind minions but she really can't so abuse that. Level 6 means nothing because you can ult through her wall, but you should alert botlane because Taliyah's ult gives her insane roam potential.”
Lil Tidepod says “You won't see too many Taliyah mid's these days but she's really strong. She outranges you with her Q, and she can spam it. Try and fight her where there's worked ground, if you're going to fight her at all. Make sure to side step her knockup, as that's what's gonna help her the most in killing you. You can, however, easily push her under turret. She needs lots of items to stay relevant late game, so if you deny her as much farm as possible as early on as possible, she's pretty much a walking piece of garbage.”
serruh says “I don't consider this champ very good nowadays, especially mid, but she can out trade you fairly easily and pressure your side lanes early. you outscale heavily, just look to play safe and take low risks”
Witchxry says “Dodge her W and you'll be fine. Poke her and CS as much as you can, and ping when she's gone because she has very good roam potential from her passive.”
Sloyr says “All of the mages are really easy to counter, you just have to dodge their CCs with your E or wait for them to waste it, to then go all in.”
8wolf says “Very similar to tf. Has very good burst damage, but short-medium range. Be careful to her insane roam potential and warn your teammates when she goes missing.”
Tehqo says “You're going to want to fight in her circles. Don't get knocked up. She pokes a lot, but you can always outrade if you fight in her circle because she can only throw 1 rock.”
DravensBukkake says “Ignite matchup.
Same principles I'm getting tired of typing. Harass the fuck out of her early, W Q AA spam her to the dirt. If she uses W or Q on wave, harass her, then use the soldiers to wave clear. Super easy shuffles. After 6, start lane and river warding though, and it'll become an afk shove fest. If she roams, just take platings and waves.”
EvilBird090 says “Who the fuck plays Taliyah mid anymore? She will try to push you in and roam... you will outscale her warn your team. Freeze the wave at your tower so she loses a lot for her roams. Pool her W as her W into E combo deals a shit ton of damage and might kill you before your ult healing goes through.”
Cloud375 says “Skill matchup, if you can dodge her skillshots, this becomes a really easy lane. Otherwise, if you can't dodge them, this is gonna be a tough time.”
Chromuro says “A bit problematic since she can dispel your passive without you acknowledging it with her E and burst you down. Just farm and push whenever she roams and ask your jungler to help you to kill her.”
OnlyCheeseBreads says “She can't poke you because Neeko wants to play in the minions and Taliyah's Q isn't aoe anymore. If she tries to W E you, just hit her with an E and immediately smack ult.
She can out roam you, but you can shut her down in lane before she gets the chance.”
Vispectra says “While she's not in midlane that much anymore and she isn't much of a threat to you besides her annoying Q spam it's the fact that she can shove and roam very very effectively. You can't match that and she might come back to lane with few kills making it even harder for you to deal with the Q spam. Ward and ping a lot for this one.”
unownreality says “Huge nerfs hit in patch 8.23, so big nose goes down a tier.
Trades are just about even. The only issue is that Taliyah has more map priority. Punish her roams around the map, and keep the pressure up. ”
MechaaZero says “Personally ever since Taliyah jungle passed, this lane has been getting easier and easier. She has to be in the complete open to hit you with her volley now that the AOE is gone, so you know what that means... free combo!”
SrSuders says “Taliyah ist ein starker Counter, vorrausgesetzt man läuft nicht mit der Talon Q in die Taliyah E reinläuft.
Taliyah kann auch gut Ganks vorbereiten, demnach sollte man aktiv roamen oder pushen.”
TotallySugoi says “It is important to watch out for her burst, but other than that she isn't a big threat. Hide behind minions to avoid her poke and don't get caught by her W.”
Bughans says “Hello high-elo pick. Good thing nobody knows how to play her in silver, haha. No but seriously, she'll fuck you up if you dash through her field thing. I reccomend that you dodge her shove thing, ult around through the rocks and THEN combo. Not that hard, but it takes self control to not just YEET to her. She's dead if you reach her.”
SmokeyEggs says “A good Taliyah player will always read your E hops and she can easily counter it with your W, as well as her E procs your's. Outpush her since her waveclear was nerfed and try outroaming her.”
AzureArmatt says “Even if she's currently best one of best junglers in season 8 she still is mid laner so you can meet her. her whole kit is focused on landing that empowered Q on you (when she's not on worked ground she will throw multiple stones, if she is on it then only one) and throwing you with her W into her E (looks like minefield). after lvl 6 she gains really strong ganking potential with her R that can create wall and let her ride on top of it. She has great passive for roams that increase her movement speed when out of combat and walking near walls so she is way faster then you. Ping every time she's missing in lane and keep track of her with wards. also buy magic resist in form of banshe's veil/zhonya (personal preverence) if you can't avoid her damage to make sure you don't die easily to her really "big damage combos".”
thedonk says “Make sure you dodge all of her abilities. Avoid using W over her Unraveled Earth (E). You can use your close to block her Q. I recommend going in with chains so its harder for her to aim her Q.”
Jazzmonkey says “High Dmg. Watch where her groundings are from her Q. Trade her in them. You can trade her at level 1 and outtrade her quit well. Dodge her skills and her w with your W. Just farm and she is free after reaching level 6”
Sozzoh says “When against Taliyah, you'll want to fight her only in her circles after she Q's. If she farms with Q, then they'll be all over lane and it should be fairly easy to trade with her because she only throws one rock in those circles. If you try and dash away in her E, you won't have a good time. And try to avoid her W. If Taliyah is missing, warn your team because her ult can block off your teammates from getting to safety.”
undeadsoldiers says “If you can dodge her W you should be fine. Watch out for her roams bot, they can be scary with her ulti. Make sure to ping you bot lane. (-sincerely, all adcs)”
Doctor_Dr says “How to counter: Same as Ahri, but this time, when you side step and dodge her abilities, go for a good all in trade (E + W + Q (R/Ignite) ).”
wo xiang zhaoo says “She has higher roaming potential than you due to her R. Hardpush her all the time if possible. Mid-Prio is the key in this matchup.”
