Taliyah Counters

The best champs out of lane to counter Taliyah include Xayah, Tristana, and Samira. These are all good at countering Taliyah with decent win rates over 57%. Even if these Taliyah counter picks are not played in the same position as you, it's not smart to choose her into one of these matchups. They will very likely win against Taliyah.

Yet, if the opposite team brings either Teemo or Shaco, Taliyah mains should strongly consider taking her, as she easily dominates these champions with win rates over 55% against both ofthem.

Exploit Taliyah's early game vulnerability: Taliyah's squishiness makes her susceptible to crowd control and early game attacks. Strike early before she gains traction, and ensure you land some form of crowd control.

Dodge her combo: Taliyah can deal heavy amounts of burst damage in a short time. Dodging her W E Q combo can reduce her offensive capabilities significantly.

Positioning is vital: Taliyah's W can cause serious damage if not dodged. Timing your movements when her W is down makes her vulnerable and unable to respond properly.

Leverage her ultimate R: Taliyah's Ultimate R can get her whole team killed if used incorrectly. Be conscious of your positioning and aim to exploit her improper use of this ability.

Harness her weaknesses against dashes: Taliyah's E ability is effective against enemies with dashes. Using heroes that do not rely on dashes can mitigate Taliyah's effectiveness.

Counter her "worked ground" mechanic: The worked ground mechanic on her Q can be mitigated by playing in the middle of the lane. This prevents her from effectively bombarding you with Qs.

Capitalize when she begins to fall off: As the game progresses and teams gain more defensive items, Taliyah begins to lose her offensive edge. Focus on squishy targets and positioning to secure victory.
