It was originally named cutthroat because he silenced you, but since it's been changed to a 99% slow for about a tenth of a second some time ago, shouldn't it be called hamstring now? You know, since he's no longer silencing, but instead hampering movement?

lmao. very thematic since it slows someone a lot for a short period of time.
dapositiveviking7 votesi dunno about you but a stubbed toe takes me out for longer than that
morris110 votesA stubbed toe for me is the equivalent of a Darius ult.
dapositiveviking6 votesI'd compare more to the slow agony of being snared by morgana on top of her puddle.
full ap mid morgana
morris12 votesouch
GaleWinUnleashed22 votesI vote for Cutankles. Hamstring is too logical.
iamthegoatofwar1 votesgale I been lookin at your name and I always wondered this, but did you ever play SMT digital devil saga?
GaleWinUnleashed1 votesNah. My name is just a reference to one of Janna's quotes, as well as including part of my real name in it.

morris13 votesThe slow is so OP it turns Vlad's tomatoes into grapes.
Micbran5 votesThe same time they'll fix kassadins joke.
The Lexer3 votes"I tried to silence my mother once"
It makes sense, she got pissed and took away his silence
Doctor Jarvis4 votesThey've been pretty adamant that they aren't renaming it, which I still think is weird because they changed LeBlanc's Q when it no longer silenced from Sigil of Silence to Sigil of Malice, but...whatever. They're inconsistent.
Over Innsmouth3 votesShould be renamed to Sigil of Bullshit.
xBushx3 votesCall it Useless. It is more accurate. He loses his silence Cho keeps the most broken one in the game!! lol
Sukishoo6 votesCho and Garen are Juggernauts, Talon is an Assassin, it was deemed too Toxic for them XD
Sozan56 votesIndeed. But Cho cannot 100-0 you instantly from 700 range with no counterplay whatsoever (when he still had his silence).
That's not to say Cho cannot 100-0 you - but it usually requires him to hit a skillshot (that's also kinda slow-ish).
Troll for Trump1 votesTalon isn't ranged, he still has to E onto you. You can respond.
If he has ult, you have less responce time. Same with Cho; Without his ult, he loses a significant amount of his burst. They both have short CDs(Cho's is shorter w/ minions)
Sozan56 votes700 Range is the range of his E.
When it had silence attached to it, the moment he got into 700 range - you were dead. No exceptions. As you can imagine, playing against that was far from fun.
Kinda like when LB had silence.
Troll for Trump1 votesYes I know. He still has to walk up to you and E (except when he Ult+youmuus) . Don't be a sitting duck. When he E's onto you he's vulnerable. He's an assassin; Squishy, but bursty. It was a 1s Silence. Not at all like LB, who had 5s of silence.
Kassadin's Old silence was 1.5 - 2.5s.
Cho had a 2-4s silence, which was later reduced to 2-3
Sozan52 votesTalon burst takes less than 1 second to finish, so the only thing you could do as his target is to attack him once - and chances are it wasn't going to be enough.
Right now you can at least blow whatever defensive ability you have (be it mobility, shield, heal or CC) to try and survive, which is much healthier (and let's be honest - Talon is not weak).
Troll for Trump1 votesHe has to walk up to you still, it doesn't take less than one second to finish, Cho's burst combo takes just as long, most assassins and burst mages can burst you down in that time.
Let's be honest, Talon isn't strong either. If you are squishy, you SHOULD be dying to burst. That's the point. If you don't die to burst quickly, then the burst damage isn't burst. You shouldn't be able to do much to prevent burst, except for building resistances(armor/MR, HP,Banshee's passive etc.) "Burst" is supposed to have you die before you can respond, and then be significantly weaker after the burst.
Battlecast Sona1 votesTalon burst takes less than 1 second to finish....
E->Q->R->Tiamat/Hydra (which also pops your second hit of R) and W to finish them. Or W->E->Q->R->Tiamat. Easy instant assassination. With a silence it would be WAY too reliable.
Troll for Trump1 votesI''m not asking for his silence back, just for his E to have a different name(though I would like if his E could work on allied minions and champs), Cho has QWR Brand has WEQR Lux has QERaaE explodeAA , 
has REQW(AP fizz can kill squishies with just EQ), 
has RE etcetc
Great Fox2 votesYeah, Riot should also rename Kindred to; "A worse, ranged Shaco" after 5 successive nerfs.
Kîndrêd1 votesSomeone else that finally gets that they are doing to Kindred what they did to Shaco. My poor Little Lamb and Wolf, I will stick with you until they delete you from the game.
Laughing Fish2 votesI agree. Talon hits you, and you basically just twisted your ankle. http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzpotmYP1P1r8bv6no1_400.gif
Kaioko1 votesbut cut hamstring or break hamstring just sounds so lame - they even said that in the patch notes when they changed it (although I believed it was another body part they referred to).
GaleWinUnleashed8 votes"Hamstring" is also a verb used to describe the act of cutting the hamstring.
Embertine4 votesWhere can I get a signature like yours?
GaleWinUnleashed4 votes"The Dunk God" (who has since gotten a name-change; "I Heart Katarina" now) made it for me. I've used it to sign every single one of my dozens and dozens of comments since then.
Chatillon4 votesnot to be rude, just out of curiosity, but why do you like signing your comments?
I've always seen it as kinda redundant and annoying since we see who already made the comment
Legit Question
GaleWinUnleashed1 votesCouple of related reasons. Number 1 is that I really really like how it turned out, and Number 2 is that I think the creator deserves more visibility and credit. So if anyone asks me (and several have by now), I can direct them to "I Heart Katarina".
Chatillon1 votesOh okay, so in a way, it's to promote your friends hobby/job?
GaleWinUnleashed1 votesSomewhat, yes.
Chatillon1 votesthe rest is just the fact very few troll the boards posting that dank signature ;)
P.s. Now you are not alone! edit: and i mean troll as in go through
Chatillon1 votesThat's probably it, i always pronounce it "troll" but thats probably my accent kicking in so thats how i thought it was spelled lol
TRUMP IS DAD1 votesIt should be called: Fat Muscle
SiG DxD1 votes99% slow from 400 to 200 ms
yes 99 % for 0.125 then buffed to 0.25 hahahahahahah
MigYalle1 votesFunny thing is, when they changed this they said they would change the name too, but I guess not.
Dominick Destine1 votesMaybe it should be renamed Shunpo
