Calling the Talon nerf a "small tap" only serves to show the balance team doesn't play him.
Don't get me wrong, he needed nerfed, his current state is too powerful.
But by removing that silence, you have effectively gutted him. You could've lowered his damage, you could have reworked his kit to be less snowball reliant, you could've done one of the billion much better suggestions for changes to him to remove the current frustration without wrecking him, but you didn't.
You went through with the one nerf path that could ruin him.
Thanks for listening to us guys, really nice to know the people that aren't in challenger still have a say in changes. Oh wait..
Yes, this is a rage thread. No it's not because Talon got nerfed. It's because you picked the ONLY nerf that doesn't just lower his power, it makes him a crappy pick. He was niche already and you removed the thing that let him fill that niche (high damage counterpick to caster mids).
Now he's just there. At least he and Shaco can chill out and talk about better days together in the trash bin now :)
TL:DR almost any other nerf would've lowered his power without killing him, and plenty of people offered ideas. You guys didn't care enough to listen.
