I heard Scarra compare Taliyah to Ziggs too. Taliyah is more for peeling and working behind the backline. She similarly to ziggs zones the opponents to get an advantage in a fight. Taliyah's engage is mostly in her ultimate, but it requires her to cut people off from the fight so it won't be straight up 5v5. She does not zone by damage, but rather making zones enemy does not want or cannot be on.

Taliyah is not the kind of carry you peel for, but rather she has this kind of role as a support doing the peeling. She has decent damage, but it is way more conditional and telegraphed compared to ziggs for example. In my opinion she is too telegraphed and playing around her kit is made very easy. The worked ground lasts for ages and delay on E is very long. The delay is ok for zoning and discouraging the use of gapclosers, but it is again very conditional. The W is fine although the area is small, but the delay on the other hand is very short.

I think she just lacks the oomph from her kit. Like if I see Taliyah on enemy team, I am not really indimated by her presence really. Although in soloq peeling does not really pay off especially in any lower elo.
