Playing against Taliyah
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
1
Dodge the W (knockback): it's the condition for the E mines combo to work.
2
Destroy her R wall by walking into it: the wall has HP and can be broken.
3
Taliyah is squishy and vulnerable to direct engages — assassins counter her well.
4
Her Q deals less damage on worked ground: force fights on terrain she's already used.
