Can we nerf Talons base MR? ( Reasonable Thread )
Okay so, Talon is the ONLY CHAMPION in the entire game, that starts with 39 MR, then gaining 1.25 each level, while every ranged champion starts with 30MR + 0.5 per level and most melee champions start with 32ish + 1 each level.
His base MR was given to him to help him survive tougher lanes against mages, cause mages were really strong during the assassin update ( looking at syndra ) Then he became out of control when they "bugfixed " his q making its range go up from 500 to 575 or something like that, he would rush tiamat + mobies, w auto Q tiamat, wave instant gone, then roam and the mages couldnt even poke him out because of his super high base mr, riot did nothing about that.
NOW, riot added free stats meaning if talon is against a mage....or an ap assassin ( who he already stomps super hard ) he can choose to get free magic resist, up to 12 free magic resist lvl 1, not to mention free dmg and free health etc.
So.....if he decides to take the 12 free mr he starts with 39 + 6 + 6 = 51, a WHOLE 51 MR AT LVL 1......... 51 is more than half of 100, at LEVEL ONE.
He can't get poked in, he can't get shoved in, he can't get outroamed, he doesnt lose any damage for having this much mr, he never dies, insta roams, insta shoves. Its honestly out of control. YOu guys can let him keep his insane roam, insane shove, insane dmg........but at least get rid of the stupid atrocity of 51 mr at lvl 1.
Nerf his base mr by 9, change it from 39 to 30....and if 9 is too much ( which it isnt cause mages and ap assassins arent even that strong right now ) change it to 32 like the rest of the melee champs.
Anwyays i know i didnt have the best format so.......TL:DR
Talon starts with 39 base MR + 1.25 per level, most melee champs start with ~ 32 + ~ 1 per level, ranged champions start with 30 + 0.5 per level, and tanks start with a bit more ofc.
Talon with his high base MR gets to abuse the new mr shards to start with 51 MR at level one which is pretty broken and crazy because he already has so many other annoying tools so we need to please nerf his MR cause its out of control thanks, or if you want to keep his mr? nerf his roam, nerf his dmg, nerf his shove. but im sure you don't wanna do that so just nerf his mr by 7-9 at lvl 1, thanks!
51 MR AT LEVEL 1 IS NOT OKAY.
after
watch as your entire rotation fails to drop him below half. Meanwhile even with your +10 armor he one combos you easily.
and pisses me off
With his base MR Talon doesn't really need Hexdrinker , I hate it when he does , hitting him with 2 rotations and ignite and he still doesn't die , while he kills you with 1 rotation
A good Talon will never buy MR besides Boots though , because a good Talon knows that Talon doesn't need it , which means he is free too go full damage and never freaking fall in late game
