Why does Talon (and Akali) have 350 base MS?

Cloud273··4 votes·497 views

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure this is the highest base MS of all mid champs. He already has insane AOE damage. Why does he also get to be faster than everyone? I think it's clear who Riot's favorite child is, and it's definitely not Zed.

And btw I'm leaving abilities out of this because they aren't always up. Abilities aren't up 24/7, unlike your base MS which you have access to all game.

Zed has almost as much (345 vs 350) while being safer and better mobility, so how would Talon be the one that's favored over him?

Zed has no AOE and no stealth. Zed's only advantage is single target damage, which Talon can do equally well. And if he only has 345 base MS, that isn't "better mobility". Your move.

That has nothing to do with movement speed/mobility. :)

Zed also has some aoe/multi target damage anyways.

You asked why he's favored, and I gave you an answer. Problem?****

Your argument is he's faster, which he really isn't. I know you're probably trolling and all, but you should've came up with something better.

He really is. 350 MS is the fastest MS of any mid champ.

You're attempting way too hard to troll my friend.. I could just as easily say why does fire rotating around her make her run at silly speeds(it's always up if you have 30-40% cdr. I could also whine and say yi gets movement speed while hes ulting so why does he have the fastest base movement speed next to pantheon all the time. Speaking of pantheon he can jump partially across the map so why on earth should he be able to always run fast? See how silly I sound? :P Just learn to play against talon lol.. by the way zed has a way better early game even though it's mostly a skill match up, zed gets free harass as talon goes oom. Also zed can unconditionally hop over walls plus his ulti is a gap closer(So you must be playing zed wrong if talon out maneuvered you) . Plus zed gets a free AD steroid in his kit.. Oh yeah.. Your move mate :P P.S. don't try so hard to troll next time and you may actually come across as believable.[slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

This isn't about Panthon, and this isn't about "Zed vs Talon". This is about Talon's base MS. The only reason I brought up Zed is because everyone whines about him when Talon is equally strong (if not better).

Please stop calling me a troll. That's just rude and doesn't prove your point.
