It's because bad players assume Talon is overpowered.

Yeah I'm confused. Everyone says Talon is garbage garbage garbage, but I still see him banned. I get that his winrate is low because maybe people don't know how to play him correctly. But if he's so bad why ban him? I genuinely want to know the logical reason for this lol

People don't want to fight him I think. It confuses me because he's not as bad as Kha'zix or Rengar (in fact he might be the easiest to play around).

It's actually very annoying because I really want to play him but people keep banning or taking him before me

And blinds are always a midlane fight.

Yeah i think people just get tilted when they cant finish off a Talon because he just wall hops away. Or they don't understand his level 2 powerspike. Meanwhile you have Rengar running around 1 shotting people faster than ever and he can also build tank/bruiser.

I feel your frustration. But I guess it's just a matter of time

Yeah.

His wall hopping is fun. I don't even take flash because of it. Usually run ghost ignite to deal with his low MS.

Also his maxed W waveclear is nuts.

That's a good idea. They cut his base MS down to 335 and it feels so bad lol

W is 1000000x better than old Rake at clearing waves I love it

Yeah. Plus a burst of movement speed helps position your ult.

I also thought about running stormraiders surge, but I felt I needed TLD burst.

I felt the same way about Thunderlords, but after I decided to try out stormraiders it just feels soooo good. I feel like Thunderlords' prime is at early/mid game, but Stormraiders is good throughout the game.

Procing your passive guarantees a Stormraiders so in-lane you can do your WQP combo and run away without taking too much harass back. After taking Talon's blink + cutting his MS, when he commits to a trade it takes him ages to get back behind his minions. Also you can stick on your target better to finish the kill. Later on it's really useful for getting out of fights once you get your assassination off or sticking on your target to get that last auto>passive when they usually flash/dash away. I can definitely see why Faker uses Stormraiders. It's saved my ass many times

I'll have to try it again. If I get the chance to play him!

Sometimes people ban champ not because the champ himself is OP but because the champ is frustrating to play against (think Zed). Talon has that issue - he's not overly strong except in the hands of those who know how to use him but his roaming and escape potential is a huge annoyance.
