Early game (levels 1–5)

Levels 1-5 play as a skill matchup (Skill): Taliyah's Threaded Volley (Q) out-ranges your Mortal Steel and lets her chip your CS, while Seismic Shove (E) can shove you out of an all-in or peel a gank. Dodge the E, respect her worked-ground zoning, and only walk up when her Q stacks are down. Whoever handles the E timing and poke spacing better takes the early lane, so farm patiently and don't force through her range.
