That boulder is absolutely cracked. Can't believe they made her worked ground debuff into such a strong buff. Really wanna see how fast her jungle clear is now since this will enable her to double camp easily.

[@scarletphenoix6253]

yes.. tho she lost all w burst and her movement speed on the passive is weaker (early game) but overall this is a great rework and makes her mid-late game rlly strong esp with the splash dmg q, stun and extra range on e

[@AustinRiggsFire]

Ya I tried her jg à long time ago and didn't like it. Definitely gonna try her again after this.

[@Arob4343]

Lol a cracked rock. Nice

[@capnbarky2682]

@@AustinRiggsFire she's very early game and squishy because she's a mage, I only use her right now if there is already a Frontline in 2 of the lanes so I can make sure I snowball with dark seal. Shes really fun in the right comp.

[@AnthonyWhite37]

I absolutely adore this, Changes add more depth to the kit with the stun at the end of the E and the new worked ground mechanics. She'll probably be moved out of the jungle (unless we realize that he clear isn't really impacted) but these changes definitely make her stronger in Mid and Support (and possibly ADC too, cause ik some people play her there)

[@bpls169]

The clear got buffed not only in the nature of the skills but also, i think, they upped her damage to monsters

[@Mr.Patchy]

She definitely hasn't been moved out of the jungle, just more viable mid. Her jg clear is so good with the big rocks.

Damn, I almost asked why her mid scope rework was so late when olaf got his already and they were announced at the same time, but now Riot gave me high hopes with future mid scope reworks with this one and ahri's because this is so good. Hope this and ahri's rework would become the standard for the future mid scope reworks

[@ericschwegler7514]

I played taliya like twice before and I remember her being one of the worst feeling champs I played up to that point, but these changes look like a lot of fun

[@Smashedhiskeyboardupinthewoods]

I took her up like a week before the rework, I just loved how carefree the character is and it really rubs off on you in such a hellish environment, she's probably my fav champion especially after the rework

[@Bolderox]

21:29 he ult'd through your E and killed himself. I think the numbers on big rock will be lowered a bit more and CD increased, but overall i just like seeing her playable in the role she was designed for again. And the E that actually counters dashes, even unstoppable ults, they take damage reach the point and then are stunned :D, also the crisp W is it has a faster knock back time after input Aoe Q, her passive lingers when away from walls, allowing you to chain it finally and not hop off and on redundantly. chefs kiss riot, you did something right this time. Gold star

[@Sukaki_Izamu]

21:28 if we slow it down and take if frame by frame we can clearly see mal flash did not get hurt from e or pop any e's mines but right as the first Q would hit him he ulted popping 3 mines as your electric rune was on CD he also died be for echo proc as the CD ended after the death and did not give you a speed boost it was the first q damage and his own ult with your e that killed him.

[@AchillestheHun]

I think an interesting challenge would be to see the max possible damage you could get from your keystone. Any runes, any champ

[@Zaws21]

Up, and I'd love to be dark harvest or grasp of the undying

[@QuillVest]

To balance you'd have to make some limits, like no infinite scaling such as Veigar passive or DH because that's infinite damage.

[@JustBozo345]

Dark harvest is a good rune, but I doubt it would do the most dmg because it’s stuck behind 50% hp. Zwags had a couple games where comet didn’t like 8-9k, don’t think I’ve ever seen anything higher than that from a rune.

[@scarletphenoix6253]

​@@JustBozo345 well also.. comet and harvest are like the only keystones in the game that you can reduce the cd on ( i think) but ig first strike would also be good since it applies on huge burst aoe abilities like mf ult

[@unauthkuromi9256]

I had to find this out the hard way, but Taliyah E will damage Sett when he uses his Q. I assume it's because Sett Q gives bonus movespeed towards enemies but for whatever reason it triggers her E to detonate. Sucks to be a Sett main against a Taliyah ;-;

[@Nikes2121]

that is just the detonation damage after 4 seconds, which is getting removed with this rework.

[@unauthkuromi9256]

@@Nikes2121 The only ones actually damaging me are the ones I run through, and I say this having experienced it less than 2 days ago. I feel it is reasonable to assume that it detonates due to his Q because of that.

[@RapTapTap69]

@@unauthkuromi9256 that's most likely a bug then. The mines are only supposed to detonate on enemy dashes

[@TheOGPuka]

Been feeling incredibly depressed lately but this vid was enough to put a little smile on my face. I loved Taliyah when I played league, easily my favorite mage. Much love Zwag. Thank you for your consistent and always entertaining content. 💜

[@nickkleeb401]

Hang in there dude. I'll be thinking about you today.

[@TheToshirox]

Yesss Taliyah was the champ that got me into league, this rework looks so fun.

[@crystalqueen1257]

She’s so smooth to watch, her abilities are cleverly thought through

[@Khajmer]

That 1v3 triple kill mid was actually hilarious to watch.

[@joelbakker9033]

I respect that play at 13:20 so much, Keep it up my guy!

[@Metallix37]

It looks like her stun only begins after the dash finishes which is great cos it gives you more time to reposition and fight back

[@a.v.y8331]

damn I love this rework of taliyah so much, I'm excited to see perhaps a bruiser taliyah build with riftmaker, winter's approach, cosmic and frozen heart, perhaps with glacial as a keystone. her Q cd is so low that if she gets to sustain off its damage I think she could be fighting for a real long time and not die.

[@denzelherrman]

What about mana

[@a.v.y8331]

that's why I was thinking about winter's approach and frozen heart, the first is a tear tank item and the second has mana and cd which makes it really good for sustained duelling

[@jukelake]

I really like the look of these changes, but the damage may be a little too good. Could also just be that you're good with her though lol. Definitely hope these changes make it through to live servers

[@kanna6463]

Man, i always feel very calm with your videos. Im very sad right now because my pet is very sick, so at least i can distract my mind with your calming voice and gameplay, thank you so much for them

[@heliolighte4928]

I just realized that the malaphite in this game was “OneBakaTwo”, the viewer that Zwag plays with sometimes. Only this time, they were on the other team.

[@ttttillermand]

This was much needed. Taliyah didn't feel great to play before, which was reflected in her pick rate. I think that having her post-Q zones be empowered instead of weakening is a great way to change that.

[@R1James1Bond]

I really like all the off-meta builds that you do. The ones that really intrigued me were when you built Quickblades to reduce cooldowns. Someone that I was hoping to see you do it with (and unfortunately you haven't yet) is Vi. I tried it out myself and that it was pretty fun (went Jungle but I know you'd do just fine in lane). Her Q and E were up every 2 seconds, and E crits would delete most oponents. Started with Kraken, got some Berserkers (more attacks means more chances to crit), went into Quickblades and Essence Reaver. Games always ended early before I could get more items, but I'd probably build crit that suited the game. I think PD (for ghosting, move and attack speed), and RapidFire (attack and move speed, bonus range, bonus ap damage) were my go tos. Stormrazor, IE, and Collector would be good follow ups as well, but anything works really. It's Vi; punch first, ask questions while punching.

[@R1James1Bond]

Runes that I took were Hail of Blades, Sudden Impact, Eyeball Collector, Ultimate Hunter, Triumph, and Alacrity

[@SaltyDocKas]

Might be my favorite one of your video's, this one was so relaxing to watch and also really exciting because of that first triple. Tal is one of my favorites so I’m really eager for these changes to go live. If you feel like it btw, I’d just die for a Fiora build. She used to be my main but the game is so different now and I have no idea what to do with her.

[@pacman1682]

As some one who would play talayah a lot in support role I don't like them nerfing my op q, I loved dancing around with the q's and the debuff limited it to a point where it didn't feel too op.

[@mrskeletonman]

The number of times Zwag has said big rock: I've lost count

[@bdizzle7072]

I think the play might be Ludens>Seraphs. Being able to spam lets you set up for more big rocks. Shadowflame definitely put in work here but the mana problems were noticable, and Seraphs Sustain would be nice. Looks fun.

[@abrarnoorani8385]

I feel like she could be nuts with a roaming build with maybe nightharvester or rocketbelt

[@avee5870]

What's great with Taliyah's mines is that even if your enemies don't have dashes, if you can land your W, you can force your opponents to "dash" through them and still apply the damage and stun.

[@sergiolagunilla770]

I really liked that rework! That big boulder seems so satisfying to use. Wouldn’t mind seeing you play some more Taliya here and there

[@Ghost_Macabre]

I want to see you play ryze with full AP/CDR, late game things get pretty crazy while swiping your hand across your keyboard to spell spam

[@gorgeluis]

This got me an idea! Taliyah/Vayne duo bot, the E says it stuns enemies that dash or are knocked trough them, so it's basically a wall for a vayne stun everywhere you want, plus the literal wall of her R lol

[@gerhanio]

[@Havik888]

This gameplay loop of the new zones is a lot cooler than her zones being a debuf. It encourages forethought and fighting instead of punishing you for skirmishing in one place.

[@F1shF1sh]

Wicked vid! Been playing Tali a couple months now and I'm super excited for this rework! She's always felt good but mediocre on average and this seems like a complete buff all the way around.

Day 5 of asking for Full CDR Gnar. This build gives you two ults in one mega form! You build goredrinker, black cleaver, ravenous hydra, serylda's grudge, navori quickblades, and boots/death's dance. You get a massive amount of AD, so you can deal 500-800 damage ults and spam abilities in mega form. You get 2 ults in one mega form!

taliyah as a concept was always something i thought was cool but her actual game play really left me disappointed even when i did well on her, these changes are exactly what she needed

[@anywherebuthere4389]

Hey Zwag, Day 19 of asking for “Not-Move” Tank Janna. Runes: Glacial Augment, magical footwear, biscuit delivery, Approach Velocity (so you can go in for chain CC) Secondary Runes: Conditioning, Revitalise Build: Everfrost, boots (your choice), Fimbulwinter, Anathemas Chains, Spirit Visage and one more item of your choice. Spell order: Max W then Q then E Aim is to get as much CC as possible and tilt the enemy team. You can still peel for your team since it’s Janna. Thanks for the content!

[@joshuadixon4090]

Rell needs better scaling. Items do nothing on her really. At least that's how I feel.

[@michaelhipsley3299]

I have a super fun hybrid Shaco jungle build you should try. Take the meta HOB rune page and go Stridebreaker, atk speed shoes, Deaths Dance, Demonic embrace, Cosmic drive and, Shadow flame. The build makes Shaco feel unkillable and strong at all stages of the game. Into matchups like Rengar and Kha zix you can rush deaths dance and duel them at any stage of the game. It's super funny

[@uneterostardust8233]

Talyah went from "Throw stones at'em *uwu* " to "Crack their Fucking Skulls OWO" interesting rework

[@jalalslade9909]

One of the most fun videos I’ve seen, always wanted to get into Taliyah. Now I’m convinced!

[@benjamindamestoy3661]

It feels like they should swap her q. First you throw a boulder that slow, allowing a better set up for her w e combo, and then you get the little rocks to finish the kill. This way you can chase/kite better, working well with passive and you are rewarded with higher damage for playing with your workes grounds.

[@rachelgilbert3164]

I can't stop hitting the "Continue" button on the victory screen... Makes me feel dumb every time XD

[@maxprime4594]

I’m pretty new to the game and getting better your videos help me learn all the champs so thanks for that

[@maiwei]

These rock changes are sweet. One of my biggest gripes with her was how reliant you were on planning abilities around worked ground timers. But now that you set things up around big rock I can vibe with this new playstyle more.

[@CrashTestCollin]

Instead of punishing you for not playing around the warped ground well, it now rewards you for using it well. That's a very welcome kind of change. Maybe rewards you a bit too much, but they can adjust the numbers.

[@SacredMagic13679]

28:35 that would be terrifying to experience.

[@Arob4343]

It’d be cool if the big rock had a double damage effect. Like a Karthus q. Double damage if it hits only 1 person

Trully amazing Taliyah gameplay. You make it look so easy! I don't like the new post game "progression" screen either, I like the Scoreboard as landing one better. But, you can avoid the extra clicks you mentioned because the main graphs/stats are already in the column next to KDA. Although the runes stats are still inside the Advance details page.

[@thanatos8618]

In this episode of Pokemon, we clearly saw that Rock (or Ice, if you count her skin) is weak to Rock.

[@lautaromoreno3916]

I think this changes are really good. The nerfs on early roaming matters the most in high-elo and pro, making it possible to buff combat stats for average play. Also, changing the worked ground from a nuisance to a buff seems a really good idea. I think she is a bit strong in numbers, tho. Maybe a nerf in Boulder damage, and a bit of higher CD or mana cost on Q1.
