Tips Against Taliyah in Middle Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
Malzahar MID says “Malzahar has done a good job of countering Taliyah. On average, he wins a fantastic 53.5% of games the champs face each other in. In Malzahar against Taliyah games, Malzahar’s side is 0.2% less expected to gain first blood. This indicates that he probably won't get first blood versus Taliyah.”
V1kt0r555 says “[Summoner Spell: Teleport]
[Starting Item: Doran's Ring]
[Stay behind your minions so you don't get hit by her Q]
[Don't get knocked up by her W]
[Don't use your E when her mini stones are on the ground]”
spicy ricecaker says “You usually outtrade her but her e is very annoying as you take damage dashing through it and if she hits you with w you can get chunked. Stay close to the wave. ”
Azurio says “Dodge her W with your E and try to gapclose her. Easily playable and you have kill potential before she got mythic and spam Q's. Wards around mid and ping for her roam at level 6.”
beansoce says “She just wants to waveclear and roam, just respect and dodge her e with pool or sidestep it. She's very squishy so you can oneshot easily, try to ward for your team since she can roam easily with passive and ult.”
Bunny Kata says “Is that a midlaner ? Idk. If you face her, press W to dodge her spells, gg. If you use E on hers, you will get damaged, if you're not in your W. Her only real threat are her roams, so ping for those.
Ghost-TP + Corrupting Potion”
V1kt0r555 says “[Summoner Spell: Teleport]
[Starting Item: Doran's Ring]
[Stay behind your minions so you don't get hit by her Q]
[Don't get knocked up by her W]”
KyogoEntity says “Poke/farm with Q and try to bait out her E, post-6 try to keep her in lane so she won't get some roams off and snowball herself or the enemy team. ”
donidaking says “Stand behind minions to deny her Q poke and poke her with electro .
You can dodge her E if she tries to stop your engage with pool.
You can run predator in this matchup too and start boots.
At level 6 you just RUN HER DOWN.”
DabiDabi says “Don't get hit by her W and her Q. Pretty easy matchup. Her roaming is good so I'd suggest to follow. A full combo from Taliyah can be pretty scary.”
V1kt0r555 says “[Summoner Spell: Teleport]
[Starting Item: Doran's Ring]
[Recommended Mythic Item: Luden's Tempest]
[Stay behind your minions so you don't get hit by her Q]
[Don't get knocked up by her W]”
ThePieBeam says “Tbh I've never laned against a good Taliyah before but I can make a few guesses. Her wall can be scary and the knockup is potentially problematic but the knockup is easy to dodge and it's unlikely that she'll be in a position to kill you with her wall. Really the only threat I see is the potential for her to get a few good rocks off. Those things hurt and go pretty far but it's not unreasonable to dodge them since they're in a line, you should be able to knock her with your wall to stop a direct wall line.”
Callmebee says “Taliyah can be tricky but as long as you keep your distance, you will be absolutely fine. Only poke with E and wait for her to miss spells or a jungler gank for an all in. Be wary about walking forward as she can easily combo you. Take Barrier.”
TcKatfish says “[Press The Attack Runes / Long Sword and Refillable Pots start.] Bait out her E by using your Q and moving around wherever she plants it. Once it is down then use your E to swing around her E. Do this on repeat and be sure to dodge her W.”
lonestar1870 says “You outrange Taliyah mid and can poke her pretty easily.You get prio on the wave whenever you want since you have better AOE.
Try to stand behind minions so she can't land many Q's on you, and try to keep moving so it's hard for her to land W on you.
You can oneshot her easily at level 6 with a 6 ball ult.
She will try to push and roam once she is 6, so try to keep prio whenever possible (without getting ganked). Don't let her Ult catch you out sidelaning.
I like electrocute for more damage, but you can go PR or Aery if needed.
I still prefer Teleport but you can go for ignite if you want kill pressure.
”
livikattt says “do not stand in red circle otherwise you die. however you can just Leave with a capital L. you have too much movement for her wall to be anything. also no one can play taliyah in bronze.”
WayOfTheTempesst says “Have not seen this midlaner anymore after she got gutted so I assume if you do see it, it'll probably pretty easy. Only thing you have to look out for is dashing into her E, if you do this you will lose a big chunk of you health so watch out for that. When her E is down you can easily fight her or just push her under tower since her wave clear is so bad since the nerfs. Also if she ever tries to trap you or cut off your escape with her ult, don't forget you can windwall to stop it too.”
Katawina52 says “One of easiest matchups in just go in and win, but serious :). Your mobility is really insane even if she tries to knock you. You should never be able to get hit by it unless she is cheesing in a bush and you walk up. 2v2s are an easy win unless they have a chain cc jgler which is really good with taliyah, but even then you shouldnt ever lose it if you focus same target with your jungler. Once you have your item spike just perma oneshot her. ”
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.”
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.”
Avucado says “See Syndra. Watch out for the rocks because you will take a ton of damage if you E through it. She can also match roams with R. Watch for her W and you should be fine.”
Halfhand says “TIPS: This champion doesn't seem to be very popular in the midlane in season 11. But if I would play against it, I would stick to my standard build.”
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.”
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. ”
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.”
ShokLoL says “Another one of Zoe's unlosable matchups. Taliyah has to use her cooldowns on the wave to push, if she wastes E you can just run at her and all in with electrocute ignite.”
Kords says “This is an interesting matchup, both of you have the same goal. Shove in and roam to sidelanes to get them ahead. Therefore there is a stalemate in the priority. You shove faster at level 1, and post then, you are equal. If you see her off on the side, you can follow her, but she can also follow you. If she wants to fight, 9 times out of 10 you win the matchup 1v1 IF you dodge the skillshots then you have more damage, and you can exhaust her. By the time teamfights come, just kill her everytime she mispostions. She still does a lot of damage, so be careful of that. Also her Level 1 damage can kill sol if you are very reckless in mage matchups early so be careful of that. Also noting what summoners she took can help. If she has Ignite then she will probably want to kill you Level 1 or Level 3.”
ShokLoL says “Very easy matchup, take electrocute ignite and one shot her. Make sure you don't get hit by her W and it should be free. Zone her off the wave if she wastes her abilities.”
ShokLoL says “Very easy matchup, she has basically no response to you W onto her. She's very gankable and 100-0 able at all stages of the game. Take electrocute ignite. I would recommend corrupting potion over doran's ring since you will still take a lot of damage Wing in.”
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.”
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”
duhnx says “Deals no damage if she misses her push. Be careful of her stones on the ground, if you dash you take a lot of damage. Dodge it and punish her. Careful of her late game as it can be scary but you should be fine.”
Katasandra says “Haven't seen her in forever.
[1] Dodge W, it deals a shitton of damage together with her E.
[2] Should have more waveclear than her, push waves and roam.”
TheDuskWalker says “Flash Ignite or Ghost Ignite. Electrocute.
You will always outrade her if you dodge her w (knock up). Just aim to keep harassing her in lane and outsustain her. She can roam really well so punish her through freezing or turret plates.”
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.”
Kirito OTP Xerath says “Ya no la suelen jugar, así que de inicio no tienes que pensar en jugar contra ella, pero si te enfrentas a una, ella gasta mana demasiado rápido, y por lo general suelen pegarse mucho a las paredes por el aumento de velocidad, podrías usar eso a tu favor.”
Black Shadow QIYANA says “Taliyah does alot of burst damage so be carefull at first at lvl 3 you both have same prio it all depends on how much you dodge and hit”
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.”
Luciiid says “Never really seen a Taliyah in ranked, but take electrocute and wait for her to attempt to all in. After that then you're free to combo her and one shot her.”
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.”
PASS10NE says “Both of you have one shot potentional. Try to not dash at Taliyah's E and try your best to avoid her W when you're at her E. You can jump over Taliyah's R with your E.”
NuclearAkali says “Be careful with Taliyah's early poke it can be very dangerous and is very strong since you are a melee. Her E can be popped if you do any dashes on it so be careful if you are standing on it. Other than this you can easily burst her down.”
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.”
Hiimkata says “Probably easiest matchup in existance just go in and win, but serious :). Your mobility is really insane even if she tries to knock you. You should never be able to get hit by it unless she is cheesing in a bush and you walk up. 2v2s are an easy win unless they have a chain cc jgler which is really good with taliyah, but even then you shouldnt ever lose it if you focus same target with your jungler. Once you have Bork/Wits end just perma oneshot her.”
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.”
invalidd says “She can do well against you if she uses her E properly, if she messes it up you can run up to her and trade her, her Q is really low cooldown
early on so she'll try to harass you with it at lvl1, you have to throw the hook quick before the stun goes through to pull her in. Complicated to gank.”
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.”
Xiphire says “Try to not get poked and pushed away while you try to trade and you should be good. You should also watch out for her slow as it really slows your dash.”
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.”
vCraze says “Taliyah is a very uncommon matchup but shouldn't be too hard if you know how she works. She is a strong champion at level 1 when there are no minions in the way as her Q can do lots of damage so make sure you stick behind minions. Also make sure you keep your distance from her as her level 3 is very strong once she has all abilities. Keep your distance and scale and you will win the matchup once you have Ludens.”
Bobbab says “Pretty easy matchup. If you get hit by her w you lose hard though. She outroams you post 6 so make sure to ping your laners when she goes to any of the sides.”
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.”
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. ”
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. ”
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.”
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.”

Tips Against Taliyah in the Jungle Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
Simple Shawn says “[TL;DR - CONTEST BUT DON'T ENGAGE BIG FIGHTS. CARE HER MAP PRESENCE. YOU BEAT HER 1v1 AFTER 2 ITEMS.]
[Taliyah is a hard champion to play, but if you know how to play her, you're basically able to carry your team easily. As Rammus, she'll deal a lot of damage especially in the earlygame, so don't try to fight her if she isn't disadvantaged. Her weaknesses are that your Q and R make you able to dodge her W and her Q, your R can also go above her R. Your Q doesn't proc her E but your R does, so be aware.]
[MAGE CHAMPION]”
NegativePhoenix says “Taliyah has a decent kit for slowing you down, but not the greatest. She can hurt but you do damage more than she does in the late game and heal back alot. Just don't use your Q to dash around in her E zone or you'll get stunned for it. Dodge her W and she'll have no choice but to flash or use her E, which you can easily dodge by dashing in front of her. Her 2 saving abilities are pointless if she can't land them. ”
NixLychee says “An annoying champion in the early game with tons of damage and range, although she is quite squishy and immobile, so Lee sin is able to capitalize on that fairly easily.”
NegativePhoenix says “Her rework has made her a MASSIVE pain to fight against. With a faster firing W and an E that stuns you plus bursts you, once she gets her first item, usually Ludens, she can one shot mostly anyone squishy including you. Don't try to engage her unless you can catch her off guard and burst her down fast enough or she'll win the burst fight”
One Stab says “Taliyah is about one of the strongest early game junglers so it is tough to deal with her. You can only try to invade her and catch her off guard. But if she is good then just play macro and hope for the best.”
Majd1 says “Play for your spears, because if you land spears she is a free oneshot. Moreover, you should win if you dodge her W and do NOT jump in unless she has used her W. If you get hit by her W you get oneshot.”
YoungTact says “Taliyah and poppy jungle have very simliar playstyles where you both just want to snowball your dark harvest and gank. It's going to come down to who can execute the ganks better and who's teammates can respect the enemy jungler more. If u catch her on a wall stall its generally a kill due to how squishy she is. ”
metalhydra273 says “Taliyah can be annoying if she's able to burst you. If you can dodge her w though, you can run her down and kill her pretty easily. Be wary for her lvl 6 ganks though, as she can cut you off from your team and will likely be the first one there.”
Janooobi says “Miss your Q and she will turn and kill you only commit if you know you will land it, her gank are terrible if you counter gank her look for that”
Consolo says “Catch her. Kill her. :|. We can E movespeed to get out of her E->W combo, and she is not really strong right now! If you're in a teamfight, try to tank her Q with your W if your carries cannot avoid it. Keep her from snowballing and she should be an easy matchup.”
Lulu Mushroom Teas says “Taliyah's kit is absolutely fascinating. Not only her potential for pickoffs and DPS should be respected, but also her Ultimate has multiple utilities which Lulu JG, as many other junglers, cannot follow. All this, associated with her mobility capabilities, turn her into a very complicated matchup, especially challenging to predict.
On the other hand, Lulu JG can become a nightmare to Mages, if she is able to itemize properly. Still, because of the of grandness of Taliyah's Ultimate, at least in theory, we should conceive a regular ban.”
Coach Myga says “Taliyah is similar to Nidalee in terms of high AP damage & gank ability. I think she is a slightly easier match up due to her lower mobility. I often run rune page #1, #4 or #5 into her. If possible I like running #5 into her, but it needs to be helpful versus the rest of her team for me to pick it. ”
Elekktro says “Good Taliyah players will destroy you early game due to her ability to kite you. Her ganks are generally better than Viego's, however once you get a couple items she can no longer kite you without flash.”
J98TheGreat says “Don't chase her and don't dash through her rocks. Focus on chasing everyone else first in team fights and leave her to assassins if you have some. Your E can delete a segment of her wall. You both have entirely different strengths, but this is very doable.”
NMFO says “Nobody plays this champion anymore. Even fewer play her well. Don't be too stressed out. Good kiting, her E and W combo is bad for you. Again, she has like a 0.4% pick rate though so who cares.”
leoviniciux says “Possui alto dano, além de poder caitar a Vi com facilidade, já que pode facilmente conseguir velocidade de movimento adicional e/ou reduzir a velocidade de movimento de inimigos em área. Também pode impedir avanços da Vi com seu W e isolar grupos de inimigos com sua ult.”
Brosinex says “Uno de los enfrentamientos más fáciles es muy blando y no tiene un infierno de movilidad, simplemente roba todos sus campamentos después del nivel 6. No puede hacer nada sin sus compañeros de equipo en tu contra.”
Da Mastah says “Easy Money, no really. Whenever I'm up against her I consider her as 300 gold bonus for invading. The only move she possibly has thwarting your plans is her w, after you dodge that with your q its freelo.”
Citric says “Taliyah can be quite a threat since she is very high tempo and moves around the map very fast. She farms and ganks well. She can kite you pretty hard if you run into her. Try to split the map when playing against a Taliyah.”
Pusi Puu says “Really broken at the moment. Once you are on her she dies instantly. So make sure to mirrior her pathing or invade her, don't let her get away with free ganks. When she gets seekers/zhonyas you pretty much lose unless you are really fed and jump onto her in a bush. She can kite you down with her q and once she hits her combo you are dead.”
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.”
LordGrox says “Crazy dangerous. Her new E not only stuns you while using your tunnel, but also when you exit your R! If you face her, try and get sneaky picks on her or just use flash. Avoid dashes!”
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 since you cannot dash in it.) You might want to run Phase Rush and get an MR item.”
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. ”
Tormentula says “Taliyah's E rocks will trigger if you use Venomous Bite since its a dash. Be careful not to kill yourself on her rocks, but if you do catch her with cocoon you can destroy her. Its basically a matter of if she lands her W on you or not, so I recommend being prepared to rappel it and get on top of her. Do not try walking up to her, her Q will chunk you. Respect her ultimate's counter ganking potential in the mid game.”
LukaBre123 says “Taliyah is a MAJOR threat not because she can burst you but because she will slow you a lot with her E and poke you even through your passive.”
Goldenstinger says “Very strong early - will try get on the map lvl 3. Try and counter what you can. You probably wont kill but you will stop the snowball. Post this go back to farming - you outscale - try and counter gank where you can and get deep wards down. ”
Asternova says “RUNES: Dark Harvest
ITEMS: Banshee's Veil if her team has a lot of AP. Mercury's Treads if her team is full of CC.
GAMEPLAY SUMMARY: Taliyah is a powerful mage jungler with good early ganks, but she tends to fall off late game if she doesn't get a lead. She relies completely on skillshots, use your movement speed to keep running around her, dealing damage and dodging her abilities, her W is her only form of hard CC, you can deny a huge part of her burst combo by avoiding it. Using your W on top of her E landmines activates them, so only use it if you can afford tanking the damage. Beware her counterganks with her ult and always be ready for a 2v2. She's also pretty immobile, so your ult should be a guaranteed kill on her on most situations.”
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. ”
Kayncer says “Haven´t seen Taliyah in like ever, but she is easy to invade early and also just like Kindred scales a lot, she is fast on the map so make sure your not making to many bad decisions”
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.”
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.”
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.”
izzlelol says “One of the easiest matchups very squishy and has no mobility hell just steal all her camps after level 6. She can't do anything without her teammates against you.”
himmispiderman says “Try your best to dodge his shots and when he has no mana, he doesn't have a chance against you. Just E him to a wall Q him while he is stunned then R him so if he flashes or dashes or anything you W so you gain movement speed and then he should be dead.”
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.”
OnlyEkko77 says “You don't see her often so don't worry to much, her range and damage, with her cc can be annoying and hard to handle at the early stages of the game. ”
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. ”
RichMrFork says “Taliyah by herself isn't a threat. Her burst combo is extremely easy to dodge with your mobility. The threat of Taliyah comes with the champs she is paired with. Pantheon and other point and click champs paired with her is an extremely volatile combo. Champs that can guarantee her combo allow her to thrive. Solo. she isn't too bad. Dodge her W and she should be free pickings. ”
SaintsBeast says “Taliyah is a complete counter for Nunu jungle for several reasons. 1 being that her airborne can completely stop your snowball and ult, here ult can stop your pathing for you snowball, and lastly her bed of rocks makes you run through a bunch of damage while on your snowball. Avoid Taliyah at all costs. ”
liserith says “Avoid her knockup and you'll be fine. Her damage output is nothing to sneeze at however, and if you're forced to Q away from her W, you'll take substantial damage from her E. If she's extremely fed, she can also one shot you, but since her ult is a wall, you can hop over it for extra distance. ”
C7 Lord Pingu says “She will one shot with her combo like she does to most squishies, but you outscale pretty fast and usually landing one stun should be a free kill. You can use your ult to dodge her E and mine field.”
KaynPlayer814 says “If she gets ahead she can perma chill in your jungle. If she wont get a lead in the early game you outscale her really hard if go BlueKayn because you can just oneshot her. If you go RedKayn you can stack a lot of MR so she wont deal DMG to you. Your goal is to survive early game and get your form asap.”
RedNBlue says “You can out damage her early game and she's really squishy early game but she can very much out play you if you get to close and fall into her rock field and get shoved by a rock and then get rocks thrown at you but still. Tough Lillia.”
Schadenfreude says “Very dominant jungler right now. try to play around your team and dodge her cc ability. If you manage to do this, then you have my permission to flash on her and tear her up. She does have a lot of kiting potential though so if you don't have flash, do not fight her. ”
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.”
Maile says “Taliyah is surprisingly annoying because she can avoid you early but if you fight her early, you will come out on top and snowball. Track her diligently because she can scale super hard into the mid-late game. ”
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.”
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.”
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.”
