R.I.P Riot's only chance to ever make a terrain-based kit champion jungler that can manipulate terrain and have an advantage in tight areas.

Seriously though, when I was imagining what kind of kit Taliyah would have, I would assume that it would be somewhat terrain based, hence Summoner's Rift being made of pure rock and earth. I would have assumed that Riot would have actually considered being a little bit more innovative with their kit design and ult other than big ass Anivia wall + Rek'Sai ult. I was actually hoping for a glass cannon terrain mage with high defensive capabilities like rock shield or walls on command or even freaking breaking entrances through terrain like Bard. I mean, we can't always get exactly what we want, But this champion's lore and character just fits the playstyle so well and I don't feel like Riot could ever, and I mean EVER create a just as good terrain based champion kit such as this character could, unless they create another earth bending based character, which I doubt would happen.

As for her current kit, bit underwhelming on utility side but more useful on damage side. Nobody was looking for another squishy glass cannon champion to play this season since all the current ones pre-buff are so weak and underwhelming. Ultimate looks like it could have some serious use in professional play, and I'd have to admit I'm completely happy with the utility riot had chosen for it.
