Talon Cutthroat Namechange - Duh!

Feraldinand··18 votes·3,373 views

Cutthroat no longer silences, but slows a great deal, and everytime i see patch notes for him, i laugh. Hamstring, one of the most used names for major slows in almost every game, namely World of Warcraft Warriors, use it. I vote for the name change to be Hamstring, or something along the lines

I always wonder what kind of rubber bands and bubblegum they use to hold this game together when changing a simple name value is a multi part task that requires dedicated time.

It's not high on the list of priorities so they ignore it. Does it affect the game? No. There are a lot of other things that do. It's probably not that it takes all that long but there are seriously so many other things to fix I don't care that they didn't change one name.

They also broke Kog'maws name (and all his skins) twice this year, randomly broke skillshots in this patch, etc...

I really have no idea how shit like this can happen without it being intentional

Ankle Bite.

Correctly references Talon's place as the mutt of assassins.

it's been said many times on their threads since the change. they're either playing dumb, are ignoring it, or are genuinely blind.

they are probably just gonna keep it as a joke like tons of dmg, etc..

Lumus Avatar1 votes

Possibly. They do like their joking, and often repeat jokes (Occasionally Relenting Pursuit).

Did you even read the patch notes? They indicate they are planning to change it.

Lumus Avatar3 votes

Yes, I read the patch notes which said they hadn't picked a name yet. That is silly, because this seems like a pretty obvious choice that has been tossed at them repeatedly since they first announced the change.

I think it's because it's one of those things that is at the bottom of the list. It's not important, game changing, and rarely seen. Especially when they're rushing to get stuff out for a patch I can see it being passed up.

Knowing Riot's track record, they'll go "Talon's E: Name changed to Hamstring. Slow reduced to 1% from 99% to compensate for name change buff."

But seriously, so many things have gone wrong. item 3070 Talon item 3070

For a legit name change you could always go with "Cripple", or something of the like. But I'm still digging foot stab.

Considering that his same fanbase is still doing just as well with him (seriously, the numbers are the same or actually average a tiny bit higher) I doubt he'll get buffs.

No. Assassins should not have targeted CC like silences. It turns the playstyle into the enemy sitting on their hands and hoping you can't 100-0 them before they can do anything. How is that fair to the opponent? It doesn't show skill.

In most Talon games where Talon is successful, the opponent does not have the reaction time to react to Cutthroat within one second anyways.

In higher level play Talon is useless.

Hamstring is really the most logical opinion Both "Hamstring" and "Cutthroat" refer to brutal, quick attacks that involve slashing a body part, usually from behind.

leave it at cutthroat, move the dot from Q to cutthroat instead of the slow(cutting a throat usually leads to heavy bleeding), get a short silence on Q(0.5-0.75sec would fit i guess)

Personally, I really like the name "Deadleg" for it.

Lets leave it as cutthroat, and instead of slicing their throat he just holds the knife at there neck which causes them to be unable to move for 1 second. (they can still cast spells.)

I was thinking this same thing when they announced the removal of silence and in the patch notes commented about the cutthroat no longer being as awesome. I'm thinking "hamstring" dun duh duuuhh!!!
