It's not her easy passive or the worked ground that makes her feel less impactfull than other mahes when fed. It's her whole kit being easy to avoid and/or body blocked. Her Q, her W-E combo. Both is pretty useless if the enemies have a beefy frontline that knows about Taliyahs potential.

When she first came out this kind of counterplay was necessary because she had a vary of strengths. The damage she could deal was only one of them, the others were her wavwclear and pushing power and her roaming. But all of these strengths were nerfed heavily, her damage is a lot lowrer than it used to be, but dtill decent, her waveclear now is really mediocre and requires a ton of mana and her roaming is gated by a high CD on ult and again her poor waveclear.

There is nothing left that she can do BETTER than someome else. In roaming she is gertong outclassed by champs like TF, Talon, LeBlanc or Ahri. Her waveclear is even bad if you compare it to Viktor, Anivia or Ziggs and her damage may be good, but it's too easy to block considering that it's her only left strength. It's not as consitant as Syndra's or Lux' damage. That's what makes her so underwhelming to play.

I really like Taliyah, but it makes me sad that she's in a spot like that right now. In pro play she still get's picked, because she is a champ with a high skill floor and you can pull off a lot of plays with her, bit I doubt that she will get her former glory back if Riot doesn't give her at least one of her old strengths back or even a new one. A new passive or a minir change to her E could be the way to go.
