When I hit 4800 ip, who should I pick up? Viktor or Talon? Viktor because of his new lore and he was okay when i tried him last week? or talon because of his new skin coming up?
Edit: I have decided, after several people recommending him, to get Viktor first. New question: after that should I get talon or trundle?

midnight oil243 votesBut I don't really know about either. That's why I'm coming here for help.
Divine Winds1 votesTalon's good if you don't want to sink tons of hours. Viktor is worth that time investment, and if you play laning well, you'll see your winrate go up.
midnight oil241 votesCool. Thanks again.

midnight oil241 votesOkay. Thanks for the suggestion.
Divine Winds1 votesYou can trade at level three and kill as Viktor
Depends on how boosted your enemy is
Leo10242 votesViktor is tons of fun, however make sure to play with him on Normal cast settings, if you use Quick cast his lasers are significantly harder to land, his burst is insane and after your E augment upgrade, winning trades is fairly easy given you land your E
His kit is fun and as you learn him you start to realize his damage potential and burst which is truly unmatched by any high skill mage, he's one of the best solo carries and can delete squishies. i would highly recommend learning viktor
midnight oil241 votesOkey. thanks for the suggestion!
Divine Winds1 votesHis laser on quick cast still gives him an arrow to pick direction
I think
Leo10241 votesHis laser on quick cast still gives him an arrow to pick direction
I think
it does but once you click E you HAVE to cast it from where your cursor was when you pressed E, this messes me up and i prefer normal cast so that i can move the starting point easier before aiming the laser
Divine Winds1 votesI guess it's just a matter of preference
I don't really do much with my laser in lane... I just clear waves and use q to poke
In teamfights aiming it is less important so long it hits something twice.
Divine Winds1 votesViktor is pretty good, and has a high skill cap. Viktor's always viable, and in terms of viability, he is much better than talon
Talon's good when ahead, like all assassins. I've never played him, so I don't have an opinion on that.
midnight oil241 votesOkey doke. Thanks for the suggestion!
TyrekGoldenspear1 votesIf you want to be Viktorious, pick Viktor.
If you want to be Talonted, pick Talon.
reaperteaser1 votesi havent seen many talons since the assassin update, but ive seen viktors somewhat regularly, so my vote is for talon
midnight oil241 votesWhy talon, if you don't mind me asking?
TyrekGoldenspear1 votesTalon, like most assassins, are a niche pick.
Typically they are picked when the enemy has a high priority target that needs to be dealt with quickly.
As such, Talon can get to said carry while Viktor can't. In certain instances he can kill faster than Viktor, get fed harder than Viktor, and if you give him a few tanky items he lives long enough to do his job and then get out.
However, if you are taking an AD champion mid, it is usually best to have an AP top laner, otherwise your enemy will stack armor and your whole team's damage becomes useless.
As for Viktor, like most mages he has respectable burst and is generally more useful in a teamfight.
The problem with Viktor is that his CC is on a delay, and he is usually a prime target for an assassin.
So, to recap.
Viktor is a better generalist pick for a team.
However if your top laner goes AP, you can safely go Talon without jeprodizing your team's damage output.
If you play Talon, remember to roam bot when you can to score those juicy double kills.
midnight oil241 votesThis is pretty well thought out. Thanks for the read!
reaperteaser2 votesi was just sayin talon cuz i see him very little, and i see viktor more often
midnight oil241 votesah, okey doke. thanks again for your suggestion!
WitchQueen Annie1 votesViktor is way better. No contest.
Dr Doom > Assassin's Creed
Assassins are horrible in this meta (you don't want to be squishy AND have to get close to targets to kill them while having to deal with clunky cooldowns).
Viktor can assassinate people from 600+ range. He also scales way better into the late game. His Ultimate and his Gravity Pit can completely turn fights and even if your team ends up losing, its satisfying to deal tons of damage from a safe distance with his lasers and ultimate blasts.
midnight oil241 votesOkey doke. Thanks for the suggestion!
