Learn how to Taliyah counter with these essential tips.

All
Position yourself behind minions during laning phase to reduce her Q damage — each shard deals 40% damage after hitting something else first.
Basic Lane Phase
Engage when her W (Seismic Shove) is on cooldown — this is her only hard crowd control ability with a 14 second cooldown at rank 1 (8 seconds at max rank).
Lane Phase Skirmish
Look for all-in opportunities at level 6 if you have a combat ultimate — Taliyah's R doesn't deal damage, creating a power trough when other mid laners get their ultimates.
Lane Phase
Dodge Taliyah's W (Seismic Shove) to prevent her from knocking you into her E (Unraveled Earth) — the combo causes stones to detonate, stunning you for 0.75 seconds.
Lane Phase Skirmish Team Fight
Match her waveclear to prevent her from roaming — if she can't quickly push the wave, she can't effectively use her ultimate to gank side lanes.
Lane Phase
Stay grouped in the mid to late game — Taliyah's R (Weaver's Wall) allows her to quickly reach and isolate lone targets.
Late Game
Force team fights quickly when you see Taliyah rather than allowing her to poke with Q — she excels at wearing teams down before engagements.
Team Fight Late Game
Look to fight her when she's on Worked Ground (glowing areas) — she can only fire one Boulder instead of five Stone Shards, reducing her sustained damage despite the Boulder dealing 190% of a single shard's damage.
Advanced Lane Phase Skirmish
When Taliyah is missing from lane, warn your teammates immediately — her R has a super long range (2500-6500 units) letting her gank side lanes very quickly.
Basic Lane Phase
Place Control Wards in river or jungle entrances to track Taliyah's roams — her passive gives her increased movement speed near terrain, making her exceptionally fast at moving between lanes.
