New Passive for Talon-Returns Mana upon Champion kills

Knalxz·Apr 29, 2015·2 votes·514 views

I was reading this thread http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/OzJZY8aL-now-that-ashe-have-a-better-version-of-talons-passive

and it reignited my feelings about Talon getting his passive changed.

I've suggested multiple changes to Talon's passive but i feel like percentage return from champion kills or assist would really round him out.

Hopefully if this is done we can finally just turn Cutthrought into a snare. Rather than a less than a second amazing slow.

Wouldn't that turn his passive into a worse version of Swains passive?Since swain regains a percentage of mana when he kills a champion,but also gains mana if he kills minions.

The reason why i didn't say it should give mana back from minions is because he'd have loads of in lane sustain and late game he could get all of his mana back just by pressing W on a wave.

He wouldn't have a downside besides being an all in champion.

Well the lane sustain would be kinda moot,since he'd only get the bonus after he killed his target already.

You know,why would you need mana if your lane opponent is already dead anyway? Sure your opponent will come back eventually,but until then you can get some mana back on your own.

Gank response and roaming. I'm sure you're a Talon player and know that the enemy jungler is always like

Swiggity Swooty

and roaming mid laners is always great when they have sufficient mana. Late game it would allow Talon to actually survive because he isn't drained from just going after the ADC once and as the team fight progresses he won't become a super minion.

It would be a shitty passive, imo, just because then most the time it wouldnt do anything.

How so? Talon burns 70% of his mana on a single combo. Normally that combo is used to kill on person. This would allow Talon to keep his mana flow constant, instead of taking out a target and being forced to back.

That assuming your combo kills someone every single time, which doesnt happen. Though I assume later during teamfights it might be a little more useful. I'd rather have something always available though not tied to getting burst kills which only hapen when the conditions are right
