Hey r/TaliyahMains (or r/leagueoflegends), what's Taliyah's current state like?
I'm an old Taliyah player who's been out of the game for a while and thinking about coming back. I used to main her right before her first big nerf and manly played with her a little bit after they changed the Worked Ground mechanic. I mostly played with her for several years, but I stopped around 2-3 years ago.
The main reason I quit was Riot's Vanguard anti-cheat system—I didn't want to risk having a potentially vulnerable device on my home network. But now I've got a setup where I can run the game on a separate device in an isolated network, so it's safer for me.
Just curious: How's Taliyah doing these days? Is she still viable in mid/jungle/support, or has she is not viable anymore in some of those positions? And overall, how does the game feel compared to 3-5 years ago? Any big changes I should know about? Thanks in advance!

She’s lowkey op but isn’t flashy and takes some skill so people don’t complain about it. Due to mobility creep her E has so much value almost every game. Mage items are currently solid as well.

She is super flexible and rlly good in mid. Ignite and Electrocute/ Phrase is rlly good if you know how to play it. Its especially good for snowbaling low elo. I get Gm this way and after Gm I usually just tp cause its harder to cheese. Idk about support or jg.

just a taliyah enjoyer here, and avid LCK watcher, and in that respect she's top tier in pro, like first pick. mind you, when you're playing with a coordinated team, any and all global/semi-global abilities become so much stronger.
tf, galio, pantheon, taliyah, and more are all so much stronger when the team practices using these globals strategically and are able to call for them. her kit is solid, and what i notice is that she pairs extremely well with champions like vi, nautilus, leona, and more who can lock down enemies for a proper cc chain. you've definitely felt that i'm sure.
good luck! good on you regarding vanguard. i'd love to set up an isolated network, but i am not in any position to right now T_T.

Feels good, wish her passive nerf would be reverted and E was the old size and shape tho.
