Talon with smite - how to make him ballanced
Hi im sorye and i would like to talk here on boards about Talon with smite. Talon with smite was really everpowered pick in patch 8.13 and is still strong in patch 8.14 (extrmelly strong in my opinion). For those who doesnt understand how Talon with smite work scroll down to the bottom i will explain it there.So lets get started.
Talon with smite was really strong latelly as i said and here are some ideas on changes that would fix him:
He is still an incredible midlaner with 54.86% win rate in diamond/master atm being S tier midlaner, he is still played with smite and demolishes soloq, riot tryed to nerf him by lowering his damage, but thats not a good way to nerf him, his roaming should be nerfed instead of only damage, its like Camille nerf on her E, she didnt got affect by that at all. Only aspect of Camille that was actually nerfed by that was her E maxing, and you dont even max her E to max rank, you put 3 ranks into her e, then you get your ultimate and from level 7 you start maxing Q so you have your main damage source maxed by time you have your core items. Talon should get nerfed his R coodldown on early ranks from 100 / 80 / 60 to 110 / 90 / 60 and his passive base damage and scaling should be also nerfed on early levels 75 - 245 (+200% attack damage) to 50 - 260 (+180% attack damage), also his w damage will be buffed from 50 / 65 / 80 / 95 / 110 (40% bonus ad) and 70 / 85 / 100 / 115 / 130 (+60% bonus ad) (return dmg) to 50 / 65 / 80 / 95 / 110 (40% bonus ad) and 80 / 95 / 110 / 125 / 140 (+60% bonus ad)(return dmg) with new effect deal only 65% damage to minions and jungle monsters (or only to jungle monsters, i dont know since i cant test it) level 1 back to 100% by rank 18 fixing the problem of Talon with smite and his early roaming. He will still be able to effectivelly roam but he wont be so obnoxious anymore with smite, becasue he will not be able to do raptors level 1 and get that HUGE advantage in lane. But he will also scale better than he does right now.
How does the Talon smite strat work: Talon takes smite and jg item level 1, he does raptors and goes with level 2 to lane before his minions even die so he gets huge level adventage over the enemy and usually end up getting 1st blood and he keeps taking camps like this everytime his smite is up, getting huge XP advantage, constantly pushing and roaming and getting kills due to his insane damage early game.
Thanks guys for visiting my post, please lets discuss this in the coments and tell me what do you think about these changes, just dont be a jerk and dont flame others becasue of theyr opinions. have a good day. (and sorry for all the grammar mistakes)
