Talon has 3 bugs that make his kit feel clunky to use and unplayable at times.

  1. Talon's E has the most major bug. Essentially, sometimes when you jump over a wall (this mainly happens jumping over towers, but it does happen with walls too) Talon does this weird backflip and stays in the same place you started off, only delaying about 0.5 secs when you could be running away from someone, roaming, chasing someone, etc. This has gotten me killed more times than I can count.

  2. This bug isn't quite as major but can still be a pain and can still lose you kills. When you Q, you're supposed to get an auto reset. On a ranged Q where you leap, this works 99% of the time, and the other 1% is probably just my error. That's fine. But the melee Q is almost a gamble and can lose you kills or get you killed about 50% of the time and it can really piss me off.

  3. This is another bug on Talon's Q. I don't use quick cast so I see the indicator range on abilities before I use them. When using Talon's Q there is a big circle and a small circle, and if the enemies are out of the small circle, Talon will leap to them which closes the gap. Well sometimes when the enemies are CLEARLY out of the small circle, like several millimeters (that sounds so small but it's pretty significant) out of the circle, Talon will not leap, but extend his blade into the 5th dimension, rather than leaping. This has lost me so many kills it's insane. It wouldn't even be that bad if the cast time didn't make Talon stop moving but it does, so if anything, it makes the gap bigger.

These are the 3 major things I feel are wrong with Talon. Everyone on the subreddit is asking to buff him, but that's not needed. Just make him feel less clunky to play and I'll be happy. Talon

I thought i was the only one having issues with these exact 3 issues . Glad that other people have and i am not alone.

The wall jump issue has been happening since it's introduction. I think it has to do with your approach to the wall, but it's very erratic. The most times it has happened to me is if I approach at a very sharp angle. It rebounds me over and back, or I jump in place and the wall cooldown begins. Very odd.

Only bugs? that's not the only issue. He's underperforming. He lost Toplane, nobody plays him top anymore [[u can check op.gg]] because his win ratio dropped to 44%.

in midlaner before preseason he was one of the top 5. but doesnt mean he was broken. Now he's between 22-30, and that's supposed to be the only lane he should be playing.

They gave his passive proc on dragon and baron, but forgot to balance it around the entire jungle.

Most of his damage is in 1 spell, his passive. If i wanted to deal a lot of damage with 1 spell only I'd pick Zoe instead.

No good AOE damage, no reliable gap closer, his E is predictable which gets talon countered easily, W is too narrow, slow and the first one doesnt slow after rework + deals less damage so thats a fuck you to all talon mains [[gotta land both Ws to deal some dmg]].

His old Q used to do full crit as AA and enhanced with item 3031 , good for splitpushing towers, now he lost that power for a small dash [[ even after rework, he had that AA>Q>AA, but then again Riot decided to remove it so you have to work harder to proc the passive]].

I've said it before, the rework was a fail. Just because he can situationally jump [[bec of this E he lost 15 movement speed btw]] doesnt mean he's viable and niche.

The E is such an infuriating bug. I can just imagine the enemy team laughing as I'm about to escape with a sliver of health from a melee champ but I do a backflip right back into their attack range. It's even more infuriating when I burn a flash so I can get into jump range.

I always thought I was just trash and was canceling my autos or something. I always just assumed that they removed the auto reset and made a text error.

I play Talon often and I never noticed the third one although I'm not the most attentive player. Do you still get the crit? If so, it might actually be a good thing in some cases.

Shiphtur and tons of other talon players have said it, he's horrible now. If you're against someone like veigar you might as well switch lanes.
