TIAMAT IS META! - Tiamat Mid - Platinum Ranked Smite

TIAMAT IS STILL META! For us, ranked plebeians, at least. Tiamat is very similar to Yu Huang, with a ranged line attack and ranged AOE attack. Sure, it trades the line root for a smaller ranged stun, but the real utility in Tiamat's kit comes from her ability to stance switch. Her dive is a great escape tool, similar to Yu Huang's 3. Once transformed, she has a CC immune ult + a ranged knockup (NO DR ON KNOCKUPS), with a passive that provides massive mitigations (effectively a 1250 health shield at lvl 20 with max stacks; plus you can refresh the scales fast with a good grounded ult).

I think Tiamat really excels over Yu Huang in the late game. The utility of her flying stance ult can peel with tornado/minotaur, and can split push from a distance with minions. She can duplicate red buffs for your team (!). And most importantly, while I feel the utility of getting a sick pull with Yu Huang's ultimate is awesome, in ranked it can be hard for your team to play off of and its a tricky skill shot. Additionally, I think in a meta where junglers are primarily diving the mage, Tiamat's 1v1 potential vs a jungler is much greater than Yu Huang's.
