If they really don't want to buff her damage she needs much higher utility to compensate. Her only real utility is the roaming with the ultimate, and the w, which is a part of her combo. The ultimate's cooldowns is way too long for that to be the only advantage she has, and I don't get why it's interrupted by damage while things like Twisted Fate ultimate aren't, just seems like Riot adding way too much counterplay.

Is an escape on a two minute cd, that would also force you to sarcifice the one thing I feel like Taliyah has over other mages, really be bad a bad thing? It just makes the ultimate feel really weak outside of the one shining scenario of an enemy bot lane with no escapes pushing out too far.

I really don't include her passive as utility because once again it only helps her roaming, which is already only decent compared to other who try and roam (Lb, Zed, Talon, Twisted Fate, Ahri)

I really don't care what Riot's reasons are, if you take "having counterplay" too far it just turns into "being less effective than other champions", and that's where I feel Taliyah is currently.
