Why does C9 keep trying to make Talon a "thing"?

The Oasis··1 votes·507 views

They've played it a lot in their recent games but I have yet to see them win a game with talon or even have him become a threat. They must do well with him in scrims or something?

Hai has a tiny champion pool. Talon is his fallback, and he is very VERY easy to deal with. Not even counting his latest nerf (and failure of a compensation)

I didn't even notice the nerf until I got him in ARAM. He's weak as hell now. A 99% slow for .25 seconds just isn't the same. I'm amazed he's even seeing pro play right now, even if they're playing on a previous patch.

Actually in ARAM he is actually pretty good, once you use your e, your team can follow up really well. But SR is a different story.

I'd only ever seen him in SR, though, and I mained Lux during the period where burst assassins with silences dominated mid lane. He felt like crap compared to the Talon I remember playing against.

In my opinion hai is a better Mage player than he is with assassins So far in my opinion the best mid lane assassin players are korean

I think they believe he has the potential to work, for example i have a friend who really believes ad thresh is op. Ive seen him fail so many times but he believes its totally viable

Because Hai's champ pool is tiny, and comfort>power.
