Early game (levels 1–5)

Taliyah's mobility via Weaver's Wall and her Q-W poke combo let her control the trading pattern before you have any tools to answer, punishing your lack of escape. She'll look to poke you down and then roam using her wall-jumps to gank other lanes, so ward river proactively and play for CS rather than trades. Avoid extending past minions where her Q threatens double damage.
