I was playing ranked today, and god... I mean talon still hurts yeah, but i couldnt get any kills at all because there wasnt a silence there. riot seriously? wtf are you guys doing? look im sure you are all trying your best, and sure the community isnt always right, but honestly guys come on. Im positive im not the only one who feels like you guys have fallen off since.. imo season 3 started. Anyway, im sure over time ill learn how to play without it, but can you guys quit adding stuff to games then throwing it away a few months later, and honestly enough with everyone having a dam slow,stuns,snare,pull, etc. What is League of CC?

Think ima just start playing the other few champions i also main.

Use your head, they have "take away point and click silences" on their minds. Kass, and Leblanc. Soraka got hers changed.

You mean like all of the assassins, who are all more mobile than Talon is?

Nice joke.

I didn't say assassins, I said champions.

You seem not to understand that Talon's silence was key to his gameplay. It was the only feature in his kit that allowed him to do something positive out of it. Without his silence, using Cutthroat on an enemy now is begging to be hard CC'ed or countered.

Remember Talon isn't like LeBlanc or Kassadin who have seen their silence removed, since these champions have high mobility to compensate. They could just burst their opponent for free without fearing retaliation while Talon always put himself in danger when he tries something.

While I do agree a 1 second silence was something unfair for his targets, the lack of any acceptable and reliable compensation is what hurt Talon right now. I didn't meet anyone yet who is satisfied of the 0.25 second slow he got.

In other words, good move from Riot to make sure Talon's opponents have a chance to counter him, but not so good move from them to try to compensate with a 0.25 slow instead of a more creative and useful element.

Yeah, Talon is still fun, but he is not longer a very good pick. Zed and fizz can do his job so much better now. I cant think of an assassin he is stronger than.

I've played Talon since he came out. Sure I miss the silence but it doesnt effect me. It still go Pos. about 80% of my games. There are times when I shout in anger because a silence couldve saved me. But, doesnt happen much. You must admit. Talon is OP. Shame not a lot of people play him :(
