Tips Against Taliyah in Mid Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors

uramakyo says “Her terrain and poke chip you down but she's squishy and your sustained DPS wins if you can close the gap. Respect her rock throw range and play through it.”

star zall says “Laning phase can be rough or chill, depending on ur movement and taliyah's gameplay. Try to keep her in lane, as much as u can, so she doesn't impact the map that much, do ping if she is missing.”
V222 says “This is a very free matchup for Ekko. Lv1 you don't want to jump on her in the open since her Q does a lot of damage and most taliyahs have either phaserush+boneplating or electrocute setups. You can jump on her if she has no boneplating and the waves start meeting. Ideally you wait for her to use her Q on the wave (most taliyahs do, even very good ones like odysseus), wait for her to auto the wave and jump from the side to have the most ideal lv1 trade. If these conditions are not met, you should try to poke her boneplating off and hold the first 1-2 waves on your side. You don't want her to perma crash waves early as she can just reset and TP back. Try to get lv2 around the same time as her but as long as you can get the wave to stay on your side that is all you need to achieve. You can EQ at taliyah lv2 for free. Her E cannot do anything vs your E2 and the only way she can stun you is if she predicts you. Even if she does predict you, as long as you EQ at the max range of her E (your EQ rang is much longer than that with the slow) you won't get stunned in time. Taliyah is extremely squishy earlygame but don't extend the first trade as her Q cooldown earlygame is pretty short. Proc your passive and run. When dodging Taliyah Q you want to move to the side first before you go behind your minions. Taliyah Q has a pretty significant AOE if she hits your minions, so make sure to not stand directly behind them to avoid getting poked for free. This is especially the case with her worked ground Q. You can use this info to bait her Q as well. After she gets her W you can still EQ at bad taliyahs instantly, but a lot of good taliyahs will try to put their W when you will appear. Even if she manages to do this you won't be too fked unless your wave is in a bad spot and she can run you down so skillchecking her this way is fine, but if you play in higher elos you should try to hold your E2 a bit before you connect and dodge forward/to the side right after you connect sometimes. This mindgame is extremely hard for taliyah to win so switching this trading pattern up especially when she is going for a lasthit will work even against the best Taliyahs in the world. To make this mindgame unwinnable for her you can EQ W, then she is very stuck in your Q slow while your W stun is coming on top of her, and just E2 reactively to her W. Even if she W's herself you will get the shield and still proc your passive since she is stunned. You can buffer her W with your E2. It's very possible to take trades under tower vs taliyah during the whole game as long as you have your W shield and especially once you get your dusk and dawn. The only way to lose this matchup is trading when she has a big bounce and you manage to not get your W shield while getting hit by her whole combo and a lot of minions, but you can even trade in a big wave as long as you have your W shield. In general you want to be thinking about her Q a lot. If you ever hit a combo/stun on taliyah after around lv5 on your side of the lane you will generally have the damage to run her down the whole lane and kill her with 2 combos. Taliyahs will usually hug the walls to get passive MS from their passive. This makes it a lot harder to get range to EQ her or land W on her, but if you clip her with your Q this means she will be in a choke for your W as well. Taliyahs strongest point in the lane is when she get's around lv7-8 with a lot of CDR from cdr boots and chapter. You can just avoid her through W'ing yourself and Q'ing the wave while holding your E for her combo. Make sure to react to her E animation before the mines are on the field so you can get out if you are getting ganked or she tries to combo you. The rest of the game becomes about who can play the map better in case you still didnt get a lead so make sure you are at least always even tempo with taliyah so you can punish her roaming with her ult and ping it way in advance. Taliyah is very vulnerable to you after you have dusk and dawn and you can start going for very crazy dives with your W shield. If you ever meet her in sidelane just run behind her so she can't hit her Q's on you.”
Soul0fghost says “Depends on the player but normally hard. Try to contest push (Normally lose). Setup ganks and play for roams. ”

V222 says “Killing taliyah before 6 is really hard, U can't really trade with her if she has E up, Lethal Tempo exhaust is better than grasp in this matchup because after 6 if u hit a Q3, u want to ult her and run her down with exhaust. (After ult bait out her W and use ur windwall for her Q so she doesnt get phaserush activated) ”

Soul0fghost says “Depends on the Taliyah a lot. Be careful early and don't take a bad base. When she uses E dash on her and take a good trades. Setup ganks and she's free”

LoLTriton says “Pretty easy matchup for garen as well, you have no dashes and can W her only CC so she has a very hard time kiting you ”

ELODUNG says “Early tě bude hrozně trestat, baiti aby si plýtvala manu, nenech se zbytečně tradit, pinguj její nezvěstnost a roamuj s ní, když jí dáš slow, většinou je to pro ní dead end. V late games přescakuješ, Její E nestunne tvoje R, takže jsi v chillu. Běž full burst a trestej jí za overstaying, nebo being too deep. Vyhraješ tak early/mid/late. Start item: dark seal / easy matchup říkám to po několikáty, OPLÁCEJ TRADES! (pokud to jde)”

Zero macro says “Lux has a general matchup into Taliyah, this is due to Taliyah her strong push into Lux… which is hard to match until Lux gains levels in E and 1 item. Due to this Taliyah is allowed to roam and influence the map very well. Lux has a strong artillery lane into Taliyah however, due to Lux E Poke spam. Lux can push / kill Taliyah out of lane due to this very easily. Lux has to be aware of Taliyah R/Passive mobility paired with Taliyah W crowd control in gank setup(s). ”

BriarFeetLicker says “The Nasus vs Taliyah matchup is very easy for Nasus. Early levels are safe because Taliyah’s poke relies on skillshots that can be avoided with minion positioning. Her Q (Threaded Volley) and W (Seismic Shove) can poke or zone, but they are slow and predictable, making farming Q stacks easy for Nasus. Wither can be used defensively if she tries to engage, but she is generally not a threat to Nasus’s sustain. Once Taliyah hits level 6, her R (Weaver’s Wall) can create zoning opportunities or cut off escapes, but Nasus can simply farm safely and continue stacking behind minions. Patience and proper positioning make this lane very low-risk.”

giloocore says “Easy match up u can invade her early and kill her easy. Also when she runs away with her ult u can stun her and cancel it. Later she will try to close your team in fights with her ult. She will stand alot in side lane so you can try to kill her there. Buy EON against her.”

heybeyoo says “Her only threat for you is her E When she E use ur entire combo as soon as you can (if you manage to use it before you land on a rock you have full stacks and you can cleanse the stun when you land) thats how you win 1v1s Remember If you hit taliyah during her ult you wont stop her. You need to use Empowered E ”

MiniBlue says “Benefíciate de su movilidad baja y contrarrestar el muro de su definitiva con tu E y aseguraras la ventaja.”
ludenbergangel says “W dash to dodge her W and you eat her. Keep in mind she can't R if she has taken champion/turret damage in the last 3 seconds. You can cancel her slide on her R with your Q and you can W dash over her R wall if needed. Keep in mind her global presence with R”
EddeEken says “Avoid fighting near walls to dodge her knockback; if you gap-close with Q, she’s dead before she can kite”
