A data-driven breakdown of Taliyah Support for patch 16.11: the most-played and highest-win-rate builds and runes, the matchups that beat Taliyah, synergy partners, and how Taliyah closes games — all from ranked Emerald+ data.
Taliyah is an AP mage in the support, and on patch 16.11 they grade out as a solid mid-tier pick — a 51.0% win rate, 0.1% pick rate, 1,773 ranked games sampled. On the power curve, Taliyah holds a fairly even power curve, staying relevant at every stage rather than relying on a single timing.
How Taliyah wins: roaming out of lane to snowball the rest of the map, and winning the wave and turning push priority into map control. The kit grades 8/10 roaming, 8/10 waveclear. Play around where Taliyah is thin, mobility and split-push (3/10, 2/10), and the enemy loses their angle.
