rabidsquids keys to the game, winning with a taliyah comp edition

1. you've got to have some winning side lanes, not only are you going to be denying vision easier for your jungler by having mid shoved out and the ability to roam, but the threat of being able to two man gank top or bot any time that taliyah is out of mid changes the entire tempo of the game and changes where the enemy team can safely be or even safely ward and roam

2. you gotta have some kind of CC that you can chain. jhin ult is fantastic, trundle pillar is incredibly strong, the kennen-taliyah-skarner trio was actually really clever. you gotta get them picks because these taliyah comps mostly dont scale, this is where EU and NA seem to be failing they see her as some sort of ziggs style wave clear in scaling comps and no. just dont do that. why would you even. your mid laner doesn't even need to be good at hitting the W if the person they're aiming it at got Ashe arrowed

3. you aren't a split push comp, taliyah ult isnt really a global in the same way that she can match a truly global champ and or a champ that typically runs teleport. you've got to have jungle control and deny resources, make the enemy team make poor decisions and push your advantages. if you are a team that can't get poo poo off of kills or trading objectives you can't do the thing, sorry. learn to be more decisive i guess.

i think a lot of players dont know how to deal with a strong champion without a damage ultimate for whatever reason

agree with all of this

i'm kind of disappointed that veritas didn't go trinity force because he'd have some serious potential to take over the game with the lead he was gifted
