Can Riot say ANYTHING about the talon change?

Like, even a "screw you, stop asking about talon"? anything at ALL? Gets rid of silence on Talon because it is anti-fun, has no counterplay. Riot proceeds to stay silent on boards. Please stop being anti-fun Riot. It has no counterplay

In all seriousness though, why have there been no red responses to any questions asked about talon? Seems like you guys just kinda dropped a thunderbolt from on high and no there's no engagement over it. I'm hurt by your callous attitude towards one of my favorites.

Talon is not the problem here and isn't even what needs to be discussed. It's the ability to Silence champions in general. They did it Leblanc and now Talon, Fiddlesticks and Soraka will be next if it isn't figured out. I posted about it earlier, let me know what you think. http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/0ARpoxX0-what-is-silence

I could actually dig a Psuedo Root like Talon's E on Fiddlestick's Dark Wind, that would be funny

If Silences were actually the problem, then why does Soraka still have her silence?

Around the same time they removed Talon's silence, they reworked Soraka. Logically, that would be the ideal time to remove her silence, because they're changing her kit. Yet, she still has it. Cho'gath, Fiddlesticks, Malzahar and Lulu still have theirs.

Talon, Leblanc and Kassadin were specifically problematic, because having CC that lasts longer than your burst rotation means that your opponent cannot react at all.

What's to talk about Talon? Several people pointed out why it was bad he had a free/no counterplay Talon.

No counterplay IS anti-fun. It isn't fun at all for the person on the receiving end, they can't do a single thing about it, and they don't feel like they can react/counterattack him.

They probably are waiting for more data on how he is functioning. At least that's my guess

Well, they gave Kass some nice shield and he's still be able to interrupt channel when they did that

and Talon : 0.25 slow

but who'd have guess, it's obvious that Riot hates Talon as much as Morello hates Irelia

They gave Talon more than they gave LeBlanc. Stop complaining.

Ha Ha Le Blanc has escapes and still just as much damage as Talon plus a root attached to her chain. Talon has no escapes he is one and done and often times his combo can finish people off without brawling for at least a few seconds afterward. Fears are the same as a silence and Lulu can transform people who are then helpless and charms/Taunts are the worst of all and have no counterplay either....oh sorry was that too much truth for you? A 1 second Silence in the middle of a 3 second combo is not overpowered but a 2-3 second fear/taunt/charm is!
