talon does too much damage.

A kill ahead only means you had like 300-500g more than he did. That doesn't matter at all. Honestly a Zed and a Talon can kill eachother based on skill level no matter how ahead the other one is, unless its like more than 2000g ahead.

talons underpowered. does too little damage for how hard he has to work for it. if u got rekt by him then u deserve it lol.

Like someone mentioned before, this is a skill match up. If Talon is good at avoiding your Q's and your E's, your damage output diminish a lot. He got 3 tools to avoid those Q's and E's; His Cutthroat, his ult and his Rake (allowing him to farm at a kinda-safe distance). I'll even add that his ult counters yours if he manages to avoid your burst during the mark. And his is also on a much shorter cooldown, so when he comes back to lane, he will soon have an advantage over you.

Your advantages as a Zed is the ability to free-spam your pokes since you don't rely on mana, your range is greater and your shadow allows you to have a much safer laning phase than him. That being said, if you miss most of your pokes, I believe a good Talon will always outdamage a Zed since his kit is mainly point and click, with the exception of his Rake that is difficult to miss anyway. Tip: Using your shadow juke to avoid his Rake will increase your chance of winning against him drastically since not only most Talon max it first, but also it activates his "+10% damage passive".

On a final note, any decent Talon can 100-0 any non-tanky opponent with his full combo and ignite, in the case the opponent doesn't have barrier, heal or flash.

An assassin who uses 90% of his mana for one full combo hist hard? No waiiiiii

Youre complaining about Talon when youre playing Zed.....?????

"An assassin killeded me, they're OP!"

Assassins kill champions. That's their design shtick.

i was zed

I love how everytime someone says that a champion's over powered, people (specially the mains?) go like "no no no actually the champion is UNDER powered and does soooo little damage!!) so little damage yo! kills you in three hits at lvl 3 .. Soooooo little damage mon !!

Wait a sec, didn't i just respond to this thread? Aaaaaaand it's from the same person.
