Talon or Trundle?

midnight oil24··1 votes·758 views

So we've settled the dispute of whether I should get talon or Viktor, now it's time for round two. I've been working on top, and have had some success with trundle in the past, but not a lot. Talon would be good for helping me practice mid along with viktor, as mid is my worst lane, and I need more than just ori and viktor to be proficient at a lane.

So who should I get?

Edit: I have decided, based on what you ahve told me, to get talon. Next week: trundle or gangplank?

As a Talon main, I will say go with that if you are planning on becoming very proficient with him. He will counter some of the counters of Orianna and Viktor and they help against his counters as well. However, he is very hard to play and learn properly, so if you are not wanting to spend in the time to learn him I would suggest Trundle. I don't play Trundle, but I have heard he is fairly easy to play and judging from his skillset and builds he is much easier than Talon.

Thanks for the feedback! And trundle is easy to start playing, but there's a lot of depth to his kit.

Meh, not tooo much depth besides knowing when to Pillar, when to use Q as an auto attack reset instead of instantly, builds, and when to go in. Most champions have more than that.

I personally find him to have a lot of depth, but we all have our opinions.

Talon is temporarily dominating in Top in Korea, so currently he is a good pick. Trundle is a more stable strong top laner, but cannot go mid. He can however jungle or support. I prefer Trundle.

Thanks for the feedback! Do you also wish that they had kept his traditional skin as a regular? I didn't get interested in him until after the last sale it was on, and now I don't know if I'll ever see it again.

I haven't played long enough to know what his traditional skin was. :(

It's from back when he was unique, a troll cursed with a plague that rotted his body, giving him a theme of disease and decay, before they turned him into a typical henchman.

as a player of league you should get all champs

and to be honest trundle is a a more stable champ vs most comps and match ups and can go top, jungle or support if need be

and in the so called tank meta every one cries it is... trundle is the anti tank , can tank, split push, duelist etc

thanks for the feedback.

And I wish I could get all champs. But I don't have the time to play, nor the money to buy.

Sorry for not giving a proper answer. If you are a top laner main, play Trundle since he is basically the king of top lane because he can duel anything. He can also win multiple ways by either 1 vs 5'ing, splitting, peeling, etc.

If you main other roles, Talon fits extremely well into the meta because he can roam, assassinate, and splitpush really well apparently. Since other lanes usually power farm, and roam much more than top laners.

Oh, it's no problem for not giving a longer answer. I'm working on top and mid right now, and Mid is my worst position so I'm putting a lot of attention into that.
