Why does Yasuo's wind wall still completely destroy Talon ult after 1 year?

Yma S··95 votes·5,480 views

talon's ult should be intercepted at where it hits the wall, but not the ENTIRE thing should be destroyed upon contact

like when MF ults into a windwall slightly to the left, the projectiles that hit it are killed, but the ones that the wall isn't at aren't killed

Either you can't code it, which means the client is shit

or you actually intended this as balance, which means you are full of shit Riot.

cause it's coded as one big projectile and because talon is old and riot is too lazy to fix it because like 2 people play talon

"Because like 2 people play talon" LOL hahahahaah not sure why that's so funny, but it is.

As do I.

Guess that makes all of us.

Hes actually not that bad in solo que tbh

IcyPepper4 votes

Pssst I was making a joke.

I know he's not bad, he's my main assassin when not jungling/supporting. His combo is simple and reliable, reasonable cooldowns, reasonable level of counterplay and outplay potential (having the latter without the former just feels terrible for the enemy), and neither team feels like I'm playing a bullshit champion.

Kaizokumo2 votes

Yeah hes actually one of my fav mids. Nobody will ever pick on you for going mid as talon. I am usualy always able to beat my lane opponent. like literally unless its a heimer donger

He's great in most matchups. I rejoice whenever there is a jinx on the other team, but i have yet to go up against a fizz without dying in lane.

Well in that matchup one my first back i always get boots of speed. Then i build for hexdrinker always. Use E on a minion and poke with q, get out quick, harass him to make sure he gets decently low. And then surprise burst him, ppl usually have a gard time relying to the crazy burst talon has and greatly understimate the damage he can do. But fizz is still a motherfucker. What is nice is that rake goes through minions and has a higher range than what is shown+ fizz is melee. And i mean the combo is always going to be shark into trickster

Yea it just seems every time i go in to trade he wins by a lot.

Of all the one trick pony names I've seen, I think like 90% of them are talons for some reason, even though no one else plays him,,.

Why does his WW stop so many abilities.....

Nami lines up a perfect ultimate, ready to disrupt the back line to win the fight

"Face the wind!"

Tidal wave turns into droplets from 2 foot tall wind wall

Then when I play yasuo I do it on the very edge of nami's ulti to piss people off. They go wtf?? :^)

You are the pinnacle of cruelty and wickedness of this community. You monster!

Ziovi1 votes

yeah, it's like "oh, 1 drop of that huge tidal wave touched the wind wall -> the entire wave instantly evaporates" XD Seriously, they should try to find a way to change these things, because it's just silly

SiG DxD6 votes

even worse ,when u die invisible or with W thrown ,they dont comeback and dont do dmg unlike rest of the projectiles and things

why is his wind wall able to block my nami ult?

Poske5 votes

They coded it like a single ability because release talon could hit you with every FU CKING BLADE

realease talon was a nightmare

Could one shot entire team with well used R

He never could. Just like how Black Cleaver could never remove 100% of your armor through stacking Black Cleavers.

Release Talon was pretty OP because he had double the natural health and mana regeneration you had, had very good and mana-efficient poke to back up the regeneration, and had lower cooldown ult to work with.

But his ult mechanism never changed.

He could hit you with multiple blades

Since he cant I dont play him

SO FUCK ING TRUST ME when I say he could

R>E>R oneshots were real His aoe damage was broken

So do you want to show a video where Talon ult did 3120 base damage by itself or are you just going to say "trust me when I speak"?

Because I can say that Fizz's E gave him two second of invulnerability and overexaggerate and say "trust me" and it still won't be true.

It's a legit bug, that they fixed awhile ago, but now its back again. Idk why, but yeah not really fair.

Crossette3 votes

Talon doesn't need any advantages.

IT'S TALON.

My Waifu Vanilla2 votes

Yeah man the riskiest assassin with mana problems the entire game does not need help....got it. Literally the only thing talon has on other assassins is he can snowball harder IF he can get a lead and does mainly AoE damage. However, Talon lacks a realistic escape so will typically die every team fight and go anywhere from 0-1 to 2-1. Honestly one of the best changes I could suggest for Talon is to give him a ms boost on his E so he can maybe get out of a fight without sacrificing half his ult damage trying to stealth away (or make it castable on allies since he doesn't cut throats anymore anyway).

talon is easily the most balanced assassin

Actually, Riot stated that the most balanced assassin was Zed.

For the same reason that Sona ult is a projectile.

I feel your pain. I'm Draven I see squishy Yasuo or his adc next to him... I auto relentlessly, my reflexes aren't god like so I can't cancel my auto fast enough as he puts windwall up...

My damage in the teamfight is now irrelevant because my spinning axes disappeared.

AbyssionKnight4 votes

Honestly, in the case of Draven it shouldn't destroy his axe, just throw it in a random direction. Then you'll still most likely not be able to catch it, but there will at least be some random situations where you could (but even then might regret doing so).

SlampieceHawke1 votes

Right! Thank you. That would indeed help drave. Get behind my post if you'd like, good sir.http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/h4HAVtBk-draaaaaven-love

same reason that it destroys nami's entire ult if the corners touch it

BlunterMonk1 votes

well Namis ult is one solid piece, Talons is not.

Celeste Benal1 votes

Windwall stops all projectiles. Talon's ult is composed of 6 flying stars, which are clearly projectiles. Get it yet?

TurquoiseYoshi3 votes

Yes, but the ones that don't run into the Windwall are destroyed if one gets blocked. Nobody is complaining that it's called a projectile.

NavyDivea1 votes

Im just hoping the man get a sight buff, most AD mids have been hamstringed. Really would like talon and kah back in the mid lane to shut down azir, bastard is broken.

Steelflame2 votes

A lot of big mage items are getting a nerf to gold effeciency, and there are a ****ton of new AD caster items coming out. It is already happening.

Zedex2 votes

Yeah but they don't counter Azir...Azir's ultimate when used properly wins every fight against those two. He outclasses them in midlane, but thats his job. A long range poke mage can make a meal out of Azir, try it sometime.

forist1 votes

These are old videos, but I've had both of these things happen to me recently, since I play a lot of talon and yasuo is a very popular champ I've encountered this issue quite often. You can see in both that the entire ult disappears instead of just the blades that pass though the wind wall.

Not, my videos btw.

Steelflame1 votes

That actually shows it working exactly as intended through......

Seriously, the first video shows them returning and being destroyed as they hit the wall (The blades are destroyed in sequence, not all at once), and the second is placed directly on him and eats each projectile individually. Remember, the blades have a fairly large hit box. If anything this is showing that the wall+blades have inaccurate hitboxes to animation, not that it works wrong.

The first one is somewhat debatable, but the second one isn't, standing on one side of the wall should not destroy all of the blades in the ult, only the ones that touch the wall. He's clearly standing at least a full teemo to the left of the wall, but all of the blades are destroyed that can't be chalked up to positioning. The first video I guess could be attributed to really big hit-boxes on the blades, but I still think that theres something wrong with the interaction.
