SSW Talon Doesn't Make Sense

YumScrumptious96··2 votes·637 views

I mean, PawN barely played Talon. He played way more Yasuo that year, I think he played Talon twice only at words. (although not as much as Dade) and even played double his games on Talon as Jayce. The skin doesn't really fit him or his champion pool. I know it can't be changed but its still disappointing. I wish SSB had won so we could have SSB Yasuo.

Loopers Singed was seen in exactly one game in Season4 Worlds (Game 2 in the Grand Finals). Still nailed it.

Yeah but Looper specifically requested it, because he thought Singed had no good skins. Whereas Talon was chosen by Riot, just like SKT Zed.

it wasn't that Zed was choosen by Riot, it's that they didn't like Faker pick Ahri because she just had Popstar. Can you provide the evidence that they picked Talon?

^^ pretty much this. Sometimes the amount of skins or recently released skins will often affect if a champion can get a Team skin to where at times the player will have to pick another or Riot may pick one based on the players history.

No, Faker chose Ahri but Faker was much more known for his Zed thanks to his outplay against Ryu so Riot chose the most popular champion for him. I can't find full evidence but I read somewhere that it seemed like Riot were the ones who decided it.

Faker wanted Ahri, but Riot said no because she had just gotten/was about to get Popstar (I forget which). They didn't deny him the skin because he was more known for his Zed.

Saw in a reddit post about it that they gave him Zed because he was most known for it. I'm certain he would've taken Gragas if they told him he couldn't get Ahri but could still choose.

I guess you forgot when Looper styled on TSM with that singed pick. So he actually picked it twice.
