Talon is awful to play against

Crispy0Snake··6 votes·2,425 views

He has his passive ignite and electrocute, point and click jump and waveclear, stupidly low cooldown wall jumps... there's no brain to it, you die instantly. Where is the counterplay?

Make his Q a skillshot, give his E a meaningful cooldown and lower his W waveclear and the champion would be fine, but right now he just facerolls and kills you in 0.1 seconds, it's not fun to play against at all

I dunno theres 2 big things that scare me about Talon. His lvl 2 and his roaming. He buys item 3117 and is just all over the map without you being able to do anything but hope that your team mates are really good at paying attention.

Kayle makes Talon her little bitch all the time.

If he doesn't hit the second part of w he can't do anything to you unless you legit threw your entire kit out of a window so he can auto you to death

He just presses R and Q's you with ignite and electrocute in that situation?

Then I need to ask you why you are in his q and w range when he has ult electro and ignite ready instead of baiting his w then punishing him

He has plenty of ways to speed himself up to close the gap without needing his W slow

Also he can just one tap wards and sit out of vision for someone to walk by

Also he can often just 1 combo you under turret

Pick Morgana and tilt him off the face of the earth when he realizes his ult invisibility means nothing vs you.

Last Talon I picked Morgana into I went 7/0/5.

Everytime he R'd me, I pressed R. The True sight allowed me to continue my combo.

"WTF I'm Invisible... How?"

Morgana is a very good pick into champions who have any forms of invisibility in their kit, champions like Leblanc Shaco Khazix Talon Akali Vayne

If he flashed the bind and just unloaded on you I think you'd die before the ult stun went off

I actually have 300k mastery on morg (supp), I really like the champion but when players start to flash your binds and buy merc treads and go for the legend tenacity rune, life sucks lol

Zhonya's is not a counter play against him at all, more like few seconds denial of your death.

What are you talking about? You can literally zohnyas his entire combo lol. You'll only die to his auto-q-auto if he's super far ahead.

And so what? He will do the same after ur Zhonyas, u will just have litle more time, since his cooldowns aren't that long.

Avoid his second part of the W and prepare yourself once he hits Lvl 2. There's a high chance he'll W, Q onto you for the passive, or burn his flash to get the passive.

If he roams, honestly, all you can do is ping and shove the wave as quick as possible to punish him.

And I'm not going to lie, Talon is a little broken rn. All those indirect buffs and item buffs really did it for him.

Which is why he's getting nerfs to his waveclear.
