So if Talon got silence removed because it was toxic

Divewing··1 votes·806 views

Why hasn't anything happened to Annie yet? Or Nidalee? Or Cho Gath? How come before sated hit the only pre-emptive nerf to champions that would be (stupidly) strong with it was to AP Xin (effectively doing nothing anyway)

To be perfectly honest I wouldn't care if we'd heard word/action on maybe 1 or 2 f these, but we just haven't. There is just soooooooooo much OP bullshit this patch I just don't have enough bans.

And the worst of it all. Talon got near insta nerfed. I was overjoyed when I saw him get picked up competitively, only to get the nerf bat 1 month later. And thing is it was fair, so while I personally think it was the wrong way to nerf him, I moved on and dealt with it. As for Nidalee cho gath and the like. I'm straight up sick of it. I'm sick of cho gath building full ap and being tanky enough with that bullshit silence that I can't g near him. I'm sick of Nidalee's "execute" not needing any execute conditions to chunk me for 1/2 my health and her bullshit dash that makes it so hard to FINALLY give her what she deserves in a game. I'm sick of going up against Xin Zhaos and Udyrs and Kayles that are so hard to counterjungle (because counterjungling is useless if you can't take a buff or kill them) that can't be touched after sated. I'm sick of Annies flash ulting me lane then chunking me for full with ignite with only Fiendish Codex.

But above all. I'M SICK OF RIOT NOT RESPONDING TO ANY OF US. Riot, I hope you read this part especially, I would not care if it took you 4 years to nerf these champions, but I would rather know that you are at least GOING to do something about it.

Talon players' reasoning always makes me laugh. The guy can literally instakill anyone on the team with a few items, and he thinks that he still needs silence. You know what, I'm all for it but give LeBlanc her distortion speed back, buff her chains, buff her ultimate, and give her a silence again.

Every character you cried about in this post is balanced and fine. People need to stop crying about Annie and just get better reflexes. I bet half of the senior citizens in the world can dodge an Annie flash ult and if you can't do so, then you need to step up your game.

So heres my reasonig for talon bud. He still can instakill with a few items. So what the hell did removing his silence do? ALL it did was hurt his lane phase/matchups a bit, it doesn't prevent his instagib. I therefore am of the opinion that it was in fact, the wrong way to nerf him

No assassin needs a silence. give LB all her buffs back, revert any katarina nerf, revert all zed nerfs, revert any assassin nerfs THEN MAYBE give talon his silence back. He has no need for it. use your slow to amp your damage maybe.

you realise talons silence was 1 second all levels? Right? And he doesnt have any blink-returns? Don't compare talon to other assassins, the closest that comes to him is Diana

Flash and Annie ult are both instant, no one can didge that becasue the reaction window is exactly Zero. You may be able to anticipate it but you can't dodge.

Dodge annie flash ult...

Link me to a youtube video where you dodge 9/10 annie flash ults in a normal game, not custom.

Talon's combo is easier to avoid than annie combo, at least he has a chance of missing SOMETHING.

He also has no escape, unlike leblanc who has a 6 second flash.

On second thought, I'm sure you're just a trolling retard who has a hard on for annie, so I think telling you Annie's design is unhealthy is completely pointless.

because riot hates Assassins, get over it, this is old news.

Nah, champions shouldn't be nerfed because other champs are. Instead ask for talon buffs, but make sure they are tiny so that you don't trigger all the mage mains on these forums that refuse to buy any armor during the laning phase.
