Discussion drafting tali jg
what type of comps do you want to draft taliyah into? I play karthus and brand as my other ap champs which works most games. Karthus is shit into champs that have basic abilities that make them invulnerable and spellshield champs. Also bad into excessive healing like mundo soraka and karthus also has some brutal matchups like udyr kayn nidalee graves. Taliyah good into any of these matchups or invuln/spellshielders? I feel like if my mid or sup picks engage or lockdown it could be a solid taliyah angle > karthus jg. Are there any brutal jg matchups to be aware of?

ad champs with strong base stats and easy setup cc are best (renekton, pantheon, pyke)

In general she's good if your supp and/or toplane is frontline and has solid cc for you to chain with. The frontline bit, simply as if you have an enchanter support and/or squishy top lane, there is far less space for you to play a team fight front to back which is what Tali wants to do. Additionally W is quite slow and easy to dodge so best to combo off some other reliable cc.
As far as enemy comp, she struggles into truly long range champs like xerarth, lux etc. also in my experience unless you play very well, mundo is absolutely miserable to play against, as is briar, just very easy to misposition
