Greetings, I'm Esmund.

So, after watching a lot of Azzapp, I've noticed that his playstyle and hyper dependency on Ability Haste during team fights can be game changing.

As I was watching many of his videos I thought to myself: "*Wait... Wouldn't Taliyah utilize this playstyle pretty well?*"

My itemization reasoning:  
\- **Ryali's** :- Self-explanatory, provides a slow on the enemy, shortening their escape options. Leading to more probability in killing the enemy. It also circumvents Taliyah Support's low HP weakness.   
\- **Horizon Focus** :- Allowing me to consistently provide vision for the enemy, especially when engaging with my Ultimate. Great ability haste.  
\- **Imperial Mandate** :- I'm a little lost about this, but my idea is that since I'm regularly going to be roaming and team fighting at most stages of the game, I thought to help others in the team to deal additional  
\- **Rocket Belt/Rabadon's/Majice/Zhonya's/Morellonomicon** :- Usually as my last or third item. It entirely depends if I need anti-heal (Morell), high damage (*Rabadon's/Majice*), survivability (*Zhonya's*), or a mix of both with the added bonus of movement (*Rocketbelt*).

Build strengths:  
\- Very cheap :- Outside of Rabadon's or Zhonya's, none of the items mentioned will cost above 3,000 gold. Each is around the 2,700 mark or less.  
\- Extremely high Haste - especially when paired with +8 started ability haste and Transcendence.  
\- Surprisngly decent damage despite only ranging above 300-350 with Elixer due to the help of **Dark Harvest** stacks and extremely high Ability Haste.  
\- Spammability you're always ready for any fight, any time, and for any duration.  
\- High Teamfight synergies and gank/roaming synergy :- Straight forward, I apply a debuffs and bonus damage to my team and provide additional vision. And if paired with Zhonya's, I can bait out cooldowns with relative safety.

Build weaknesses:  
\- Easily shutdownable/lockdownable. :- If a person knows how to play against Taliyah, knows how to punish her, and knows how to make sure she doesn't get in the game, her impact becomes very minimal outside of vision control. This is especially true when laning against Artilerary Mages like Vel'Koz and Xerath. Or even Brand. They can shut you down very easily if they're skilled enough.  
\- Lowish damage. :- Like I brought up, you'll range barely above 300 AP even with Elixer. You might cross over 400 AP without Rabadon's assuming you have a few Infernal Drakes and Baron buff, I suppose.  
\- Squishy :- You're relatively squishy and will be a target in team fights if found out of position.  
\- Somewhat little utility :- All her team-based value revolves around team fighting. Specifically, slowing, amping damage, locking down, and stunning targets.

My success:  
\- So far I'm only playing it in Normals and I'm having a lot of fun.  
\- I've had a few games where I've had highest damage and highest assists with a very high vision score. So, there's that to note.  
\- Keep in mind I ***am*** low Elo, so this might not be telling later down the road.

Your thoughts? Is it a viable build? Is it not?  
If it isn't, care to highlight things I might've missed?

Thanks for reading!

I'm learning Taliyah Support and I tried to itemize on my own. Does this build work?
