Why do folks want to revert Talon?
I'm a Talon main with almost 650k mastery points in total and it drives me crazy when people say Talon needs a revert. I hardly played him before his rework so take this with a grain of salt, but I'm going to explain why the new Talon is objectively a better design than the old one.
-
This Talon has a niche. With old Talon he was just another "Dash/Blink onto the target and kill them, maybe some AOE". This Talon still has that, just in a smaller portion, plus they added the niche of being one of the best roamers in the game, which works very well for an assassin. It's nice that Talon now has something he's known for that sets him apart from other assassins.
-
This Talon's burst is less instant. Since old Talon had no delays (especially on his W and R recast), he killed people with almost no time to react. Now he has to be a lot more fed to be able to do that and you can actually dodge his W to survive his combos in lane. If you look at Talon montages of both iterations I think you'll know which one you'd rather play against.
-
His old passive made very little sense for his kit. "Do more damage to enemies that are slowed, stunned, or rooted." Now this could be good, except for the fact that Talon had NONE of these things in his pre-rework kit, so it was just extra damage for no reason and never helped in 1v1's, and it didn't synergize with his kit at all. His new passive rewards hitting your abilities in such a way that you can get an auto off after your combo. You have to actually work to get it off now.
New Talon is just so much more modern and healthier than the old one. What do y'all think?
