Crystalis Motus Taliyah

Never thought I'd drop money on another Taliyah skin after maining her for 80 games straight this season, but Crystalis Motus caught me off guard. The way her Q feels completely changes your muscle memory in the best possible way. Each rock throw has this crystalline trail that makes it stupidly easy to track in teamfights, and the W has a cleaner animation that actually helps me land combos I'd normally whiff. Compare this to Pool Party where the abilities blend into Summoner's Rift way too much, and it's night and day.

The ult is where this skin truly shines though. During a baron fight yesterday, I managed to cut off three enemies trying to collapse on my ADC because the wall's crystal effects are so much more visible than base skin. You can actually see where your wall ends without squinting, which sounds minor but makes roaming plays feel more consistent. And the E field has these purple crystal shards that pop off the ground, making it easier to bait enemies into your full combo when they're tilted and chasing.

Is Crystalis Motus Taliyah worth it compared to other Taliyah skins? Absolutely, especially if you're grinding ranked. The skin's probably the closest thing to pay-to-win Taliyah has, purely because of visibility improvements. My experience with Crystalis Motus Taliyah convinced me to refund Freljord just to keep this one permanently. Sure, SSG has that pro player prestige, but this skin makes your mechanics feel tighter. If you're serious about climbing with her, grab it before your next ranked session. Your winrate will thank you.
