How to Use Taliyah Counter Data
Searching for dependable Taliyah matchups? The figures below are pulled directly from recent ranked Mid lane games, not from guesswork about tier lists. The toughest lanes for Taliyah right now are against Shaco, Rengar, and Fizz, where her win rate falls furthest under her overall average. Shaco is the hardest of them: Taliyah has won 37.8% of 119 recorded games against him. On the other side, Taliyah has the edge over Sylas, Locke, and Riven, which are good matchups to pick up during champion select.
Every card lists Taliyah’s win rate in that matchup along with the number of games it’s based on, and a sample in the tens of thousands tells you far more than one in the low hundreds. The Easy, Even, and Hard tags are calculated from those win rates (under 48% is labeled Hard, over 52% is labeled Easy). They’re meant to make the cards quicker to scan and aren’t a separate statistic. The data covers ranked games at Emerald and above in every region, reflects patch 16.13.1, and updates every 48 hours, so it shifts as the meta does. For a fuller picture, look at the current Taliyah build for item and rune choices, or open the Taliyah champion page for ability details and more.
