I play her W like I play with Ekko's W; it seems to help.

But remember her W is balanced only because it is small. Imagine if she could do that with a cast time of 0.1 and a radius as big as a smaller version of Morgana's W. It would honestly be broken since its a terrifying displacement ability with potential with so much else; knocking up for Yasuo, knocking enemies into your E or other traps, etc. And since you'll be using E with W anyway, you just have to hope that if you can aim it just right they'll be forced to use one of their hundred mobility spells to get out of the way and (hopefully) into your E.

If her W's cast time is shortened or makes it so that you can cast like Q while doing it, it would make her idea of a 'Control Mage' become more of a Burst Mage since its so easy to Combo. Taliyah is supposed to whittle down the opponent then finish them off with a lucky Q-E-W or outright push them out of lane, not to be a more immobile version of Leblanc.
