Can you shorten up Talon's Q animation?

Krispy Krisps··53 votes·2,107 views

Title says it all. It's like 1.5x the normal auto attack animation and it's really difficult to use effectively as a auto reset, even on low-mobility champs that you E on top of. If not, can you have it extend Talon's attack range a bit so most champs can't walk out of it?

You mean buff him?

No

Wouldn't be much of a buff. Doesn't change his damage at all, just how it feels to get it off and maybe 0.05 seconds of time where you are in a vulnerable spot with no cooldowns. Honestly, it helps low-level players 300% more than pros. Helps fix their difficulty CSing under tower (by one minion, so that's not op) and the accidental "I pressed Q but it didn't go off!" cases.

i.e. making him feel less clunky?

What did he say to either get it removed or have to delete it?

Troll for Trump1 votes

Basically he used a ton of profanity hate speech etc, because he disagree with OP. And now im being downvoted by people are stalking me because they can't stop crying about kass and getting called out for it.

Why you scared of Talon?

I just want his Rake projectile to not disappear if I die while it's out. A few times I would have gotten a kill if my Rake was allowed its return trip, but I died before it could come back and it just vanished.

this is really frustrating as talon because there has been so many times when the rake coming back would at least take me with them. ekko's q does it, ahri's q does it..etc why not talons?

as a Talon main I agree with your point

Divewing2 votes

As hesitant as it makes me buffing Talon, especially his Q with it's insane late game critting.... I have to agree with you here. I'd personally rather have it give a small range increase but I'd be fine with either

To be honest, Talon can pull off his entire damage in less than 2 seconds. Why make his burst even faster?

I believe that Rengar's Q animation time was increased when he was reworked just for the exact same reason.

Melledoneus1 votes

Rengar can jump from nearly twice Talon's range and blow up carries in .01 seconds.

And you say Talon's combo is fast

Transgressor1 votes

That's because he can crit. Talon's burst is natural, and doesn't rely as much on crits.

Wait wait wait... Am I argueing on why assasins can burst down squishes? LOL

Melledoneus1 votes

The while reason Talon deletes people with his E-Q is his crit.

The Tilted King1 votes

yea that Q crit hits like a fkin truck

Yea but rengar's gap closer is his ult . Talon's is his E? much lower cooldown. Also late game talon combo is E -Q aa dead.Then ult away if your in the middle of the enemy team.

Melledoneus1 votes

Rengar also has that jump all across the map in brush. Also, Rengar's ultimate has a relatively low cooldown so you shouldn't have a problem with its cooldown.

Thats only if the q doesnt bug out and 7/10 it will

forist1 votes

Yeah, that'd be nice. I'm assuming you mean to make it like kass's w or something similar, right?

Auryiel1 votes

Because obviously what Talon needs is his damage being output in an even shorter time frame

2erial Rakist1 votes

Its an annoying bug that needs to be fixed wtf

Auryiel1 votes

Proof that it's a bug?

The animation is slower. That seems intended

Gigahappytown1 votes

Lets make his attack steriod that always crits for 1300+ damage hit even faster.

I think buffing Talon is asking too much of Riot. Not sure, but I heard something about Riot openly declaring that they hate Talon as much as they hate Vlad.

UPfreely1 votes

i feel your pain Blitzcrank punch is like the slowest auto reset in the game.

FooDang1 votes

I agree with extending the range on Q suggestion.

Guy Fox Teemo1 votes

His combo's to quick already, I'm reluctant to make it faster as he offers very little counter play. He's not OP and this wouldn't put him any where near it. But there should be some time frame where your not instantly killed.

Melledoneus1 votes

You mean the first 30-40 minutes of the game?

Also, if you're alone and overextending without wards at that stage you kind of deserve to get killed.

Troll for Trump1 votes

Unfortunatly for Talon, there's not much riot can do to him unless they want to gut him (They got rid of silence, which really hurt him, but made him more easy to counter), remove him from the game, or ruin his identity.

After seeing morde, they'll probably go with the latter.

Mecha MaIphite1 votes

So many times I tried to do an instant 100-0, they flashed off with 200 health and I realized I never actually used my Q because I tried to use it for an AA cancel.

The Tilted King1 votes

but its very satisfying when they flash away with a Q bleed on them isnt it

Mecha MaIphite1 votes

As in they flash faster than my Q animation can finish lol.

Support Evelynn1 votes

His AA reset is fine? I've never had a problem using it in combos. If you want an instant kill combo without an AA reset just do Q E instead.

2erial Rakist1 votes

His AA reset is horrible, we shouldn't have to use a different combo to get dmg off especially when using his e first then AA amps his dmg

The Tilted King1 votes

honestly I think Talon still needs compensation for his lost silence.

I think his passive is trash. it only would help late game, and even then it doesnt matter because most assassins, and especially true of talon, fall off late game. hell, thats why if a game goes that long I resort to splitting or taking out the carry. i mean, talon can take towers down fast. just with the youmous, AA, Q, AA, Hydra, Q, AA.....

they could either adjust the percent on his passive to something higher, make it scale with level, or just redo it entirely.

I have no ideas for what kind of passive would replace it though. Ive thought about it a lot...but.

Melledoneus1 votes

I feel like his passive should just be put on his E and give him something that reduces the cooldown of his ultimate by like 5 seconds every time he gets a kill.

The Tilted King1 votes

nah. thats not even really necessary. talon is not anywhere near likely to clean up like a katarina could. and his ults cd is low enough as it is. usually talons job is to get into an initiated fight, take out the carry and cause some damage on his way out. with his kit, his chances of surving are really low unless his team works with him and peels.

ofc, I think talon really shines in skirmishes and thats something else entirely.

I thought about it while i was eating dinner just now. level 1-5 10% ad 6-11 25% ad 12-16 30% ad

way I figure it, keeps his early game power the same. gives him a spike mid game where hes the most dominant as it is anyway and the 30% to keep him relevant in the late game..

thats just some hastily made numbers mind you, im sure theres a better way to go about it. but the flat 10% the whole game is just straight meh.

2erial Rakist1 votes

We have been saying this for a long time now, but rito just doesnt want to listen

SouL1ess1 votes

It's already very fast after the Cutthroat -> Hamstring patch.

That may be because I played Talon through out seasons 2-4 though. The animation speed got buffed by a lot so I think its very fast already...

Edit: Right now, the Q animation is a little bit faster than his actual AA animation in my experience.

Riot won't even accommodate him with QOL buffs. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CGGNSdJUoAAkGkp.jpg

Isn't his Q like Vi's E in that it feels like its slower, but it still functions like any other aa rest?
