I might be biased on the matter, mainly because my rework concepts often end up shunting all of a champion's damage into a single part of their kit, but I think basing all of Titan's damage around his innate could actually work to his advantage: the problem with a lot of champions, especially DPS-based champions or champions with low overall damage, is that whenever their damage is spread out across a lot of abilities, plus their basic attacks, their fighting power tends to feel weak or uneven (i.e. your Q is a huge nuke because you maxed it first, but your E is still Rank 1 and feels piddly). Concentrating a champion's damage into a single place, e.g. their basic attacks (though technically Titan deals damage with some of his abilities, too), means they get a chance to feel powerful when fighting, without damage necessarily being a major strength of theirs.

I'm also pretty salty that Taliyah didn't get her terrain-destroying ult. Finally, League gets the closest thing it has to a geomancer, and she doesn't get to change her environment in ways we haven't seen before (her ult, though pretty awesome, is basically a jumbo ), for the sole reason that Riot thought destroying terrain was too support-y (and this, despite making Taliyah CC-heavy, good at roaming and capable of scaling her slow with AP). I'm fairly certain her whole weaving thing was added after her kit in order to justify a Shuriman earth mage (this is also putting aside the fact that nothing other than her ultimate remotely resembles weaving), but let's be honest, the narrative team could have come up with something just as convincing if she had kept her old ult, e.g. "Rocks are like bigger grains of sand, both rock and sand flow into each other through accretion and erosion, and Taliyah harnesses the forces of Shurima's desert to turn sand into rock and back, which is why she gets to spawn rock from the desert and disintegrate terrain". If that was really the reason the gameplay team didn't implement such a potentially amazing ult (which apparently felt awesome to use with her, too), then it just highlights the problems with their most recent classification model, and how following it as it currently exist leads to dumb design decisions.
