Tank talon's a thing now

Seen it while spectating some friends that complained about it, along side with seeing it on youtube a few times.

I hope this doesnt become like tank fizz :(, just when it was finally over.

i think you all need to learn the difference between a tank and a bruiser.

the build youre seing there has 3 offensive items with some defense tacked onto them. the question is if bruiser talon is going to be an issue. hes far less mobile and has less outplay potential than fizz or fiora had, due to their inbuilt untargetability.

his damage amplification might make him too strong in extended trades, but its not clear from 1 game you spectated.

You're right, however the build makes him do damage as normal talon but **a lot **of survive ability

its more like sustained damage instead of burst. the question is how effective that build is in the end. if its overall too strong, then its a problem. but f hes not stronger or safer than other bruisers on that build then i dont see an issue.

the problem with fiora, fizz and ekko was, that their inbuilt defensive mechanisms basically made them better bruisers than champions that were actually designed to be brusiers.

Fair enough, i understand.

Well, at least it lets Talon make use of his passive.

Also, three offensive items isn't really a tanky build. At most, I'd say it's a fighter build.

I'm definitely not your local league expert, but I play Talon as basically a kamikaze...

I may try that build though.

For a quick confession, I just built a tanky Yi last game, with somewhere near 270 armor... But the 4/5 of the enemy team were building AD (Cait, Lucian, Olaf, Nocturne, but not Zilean)

I believe I built Bloodrazor, BoRK, berzerker's, Phantom Dancer, Thornmail, and Guardian Angel

But hey, that one was the enemy team comp's own fault.

Welcome to Bronze, boys... :/
