That awkward realization about Talon

Radiant Wukong·Jun 19, 2017·7 votes·346 views

That moment when you realize every person who thinks Talon is in a healthy spot (because he can blow you up like any other champ in the game) describes his strength in the same nature that you'd describe

Does anybody know why his "strength" being comparable to those 6 champions isn't healthy for him?

Answer: TALON ISN'T A JUNGLER! [zombie-brand-mindblown]

I guess you can also compare him to but guess what... shouldn't be played as a roaming support either [zombie-nunu-bummed].

If you truly believe Talon is in a healthy spot, you'd also agree that RIOT should update him again to be a jungler instead of a mid/top laner.

I'm 99% sure this post is just one huge straw man.

Maybe just make him more viable as a jungler without buffing his lane like adding increased damage to jungle monsters on W or something though tbh I don't think about see or play talon too much

That awkward realization that when new people see my post, they always say something positive and upvote, then you same stalkers that I've been seeing on my post for 5 years come and downvote because you have some sort of personal vendetta against me or something.

Could you clarify your post a bit (at least under my comment :)? )

I'm not sure whether you're joking because all of the junglers you've listed are/have been extremely problematic and you're saying Talon is considered healthy because he doesn't have the roam potential of junglers (has an enemy to ping MIA and warn other lanes) or if you actually do think he should be another jungle assassin

As long as he doesn't get changed up too much, I'd love for him to be viable in jungle too, that'd be sick!

I really do actually want 1 of 2 things to happen.

1 (preferably) - He gets his laning power back by simply reverting his gap closing range to 650 which is the minimum for every non tank in the game on targeted gap closers.

2 - make him viable in the jungle.

This post wasn't a joke, I really think he sucks in lane compared to the Talon I'd been using for 4 seasons prior to assassin update. Since his new gimmick ability is that stupid wall hopping crap, I'd like to see RIOT make him into a competent jungler if they're not going to return his laning power against ranged burst/1-shot mages like Lux Veigar .

I'm not sure about healthy but I will call him more fair. When he gets to you he kills you instantly but the thing you gotta focus on is WHEN he gets to you. Jumps over a wall is like ~1s, ulting to position on you is more time that your support can shield and you can retaliate. If he uses flash that's a 5 minute cooldown.
