So I've been playing Talon for a bit
And while I do like him, I've noticed some things that I was wondering if anyone else noticed. Note that I only played old Talon once (in ARAM, got a lucky pentakill) and I don't play assassins often. So I'm missing out on a lot of information.
- Talon is really good at harassing melee/low range or low harass champions. But sucks against ranged and harass heavy laners.
Now this may be because most melee midlaners are assassins right now (and are still being learned) but Talon is basically able to bully them like no tomorrow with his W and can easily get on them with his Q. It's like he's an assassin for assassins.
- His low MS is a pain in the ass.
He's got 335 MS now because of his new E mobility. And honestly it's pretty goddamn annoying when combined with his ult. Yes I know his ult gives movement speed, but it doesn't seem like enough to catch someone running away. I usually end up using ghostblade or ghost in his ult to keep up (I don't use flash because of his E).
- His passive requires him to hit both of his W and his Q, but needs an AA to proc.
This kinda annoys me because it's heavily influenced by landing both waves of your W before you can hope to proc it. I personally wish that just regular auto attacks could proc it, but idk. There might be a reason it's fully taked onto his abilities. This is why I think he's much better at harassing melee champions than ranged, because he has a better chance of hitting both waves of his W on them in my experience.
- His W mana cost is annoyingly high.
This is probably my issue with my playstyle. I love to cast abilities and end up spamming because of it. So I'll get into stupid situations where I don't have the mana to ult or even Q for my passive. This is more of a personal issue IMO though, so it's not that big.
- His passive.
Now there's only two things I don't like about his passive. I've already said the procing issue, but I haven't brought up how healing just seems to cancel the bleed effect.
Maybe I'm misreading the situation, but once my target got hit by a Soraka ult, the bleeding just stopped. I felt the effect should have continued but it's just not going to be as effective because they just got back a bunch of HP.
Idk. I might be imagining it. Personally I feel his passive should give GW on the bleed.
Overall I do like Talon a lot. His E is fun and he can really kill squishy champions quickly when played right (and dies super fast when playing wrong. Late game is pretty much all about the ult). These are just things I've noticed that kinda bothered me.
Your thoughts?
Also if it keeps showing up as 1 for each number, sorry. I'm on a phone so I have limits.
and really screw them over after playing safe for a bit/roaming bot to snag kills, getting in their face and their reflex will be to use their hard CC on you, which won't work.
just for the armor.
until I remembered I had hourglass...
because I missed the 4 key to ward twice. I 3'd first, then R'd immediately after because the first mistake got me so tilted.
