Will Taliyah Receive a Buff?

Well, it's not exactly a hidden issue that Taliyah is the worst champion in the game by far. I held some hope and expectations that the new Landmark synergies such as Zilean or Malphite would be enough, but I often wouldn't include her in the deck in the end. Regardless if Landmark decks are good, not a lot of the new cards synergize well with her, in my opinion, so she would probably still be unplayable.

Now I'm not going to suggest what kind of buff she needs because she has a lot of issues that any buff suggestion would become reasonable. The question now is, will she get buffed? Will Riot think ahead and buff Taliyah alongside the release of the new expansion so that people will actually play Taliyah?

If they are going to do it, I don't actually think that we should wait for 2-4 weeks after the release because I don't want to play the new decks with Taliyah in them and get absolutely stomped. I'm actually betting that they are going to buff Taliyah, and I'm also going to bet that the buff will not be enough to make her playable as a competitive deck but rather a meme deck. I did hear through some rumors that Shurima's landmark support won't end here but would also continue towards the next expansion, but I really don't want to wait for 2 more months for Taliyah to be sorta ok. So hopefully, by the end of this, I was either wrong and Taliyah is actually good, or I shouldn't have doubted Riot in the first place and they actually had buffed Taliyah. I'm not even a Taliyah simp or a Taliyah main in League. I just don't to see a Champion with a depressing 30% WR.

I hope so, Taliyah has too many weakness right now. 

I think they said they will try to balance more often so I doubt they will go with "she got more support let's see what it does to her"

I think there is a chance they'd look back on the buff to Lee Sin and decide that perhaps it's not the best to buff and give her support cards at the same time. The reason why Lee Sin was so strong was mainly because it was buffed alongside his support cards. None of us could have really seen Lee Sin becoming good, but it did. Though, I think that Taliyah is weak enough that they could buff her quite a bit, and she'd still be pretty alright, compared to a meta-dominating Lee Sin.
