Would be funny if enemy Talon could stealth your allies so you don't see or hear their death and then he hides the body as you said.

Broken in soloQ, but hilarious as hell.

Nah thats not broken, they are already dead so xD

Removing the green skull icon on the minimap showing the location of death would be neat, so that the enemy team has no idea where their teammate died. The issue is they could just chat/say it through text/voicecomms. D:

i like this idea cause that would help with tilt

Auto mutes their chat for 30 seconds :p

Probably gotta include pings too then.

Also teleports to their houses with scotch in case they're in the same room.

Affecting game display? Hacking your computer? Breaking into your house? Well now that's how you make overloaded ability.

That last bit made me read it with a Russian accent.

This, and remove his current backstabbing dash, instead let him have a skill dash where he can bounce on walls(one time) to gain more distance. If he dash into bush he gains stealth for few seconds while he remains in the bush.

This... is amazing.

I don't play assassins but Talon's rework looks bloody promising.

Ralanr3 votes

As someone who used to love the AC series, I am tempted to pick him up.

If I find his kit interesting.

<3 have fun man. Talon is my main

don't be afraid to try idiotic but hilarious builds. If it's AD, it probably works

Talon item 3142 item 3147 item 3074 item 3156 item 3117 is pretty standard, but don't be afraid on occasion to try some stupidity like: item 3087 item 3031 item 3508 or item 3072 item 3812 item 3074 item 3153

I personally enjoy throwing a item 3078 somewhere in my standard build as well. IMO it's usually better than item 3071 in most cases

Man, before they nerfed the crit chance on IE (this was a long time ago), my main Talon build used to be item 3031 item 3031 item 3031 item 3031 item 3072item 3036 . Double AA/Q would just straight one-shot anything not building tank. I recall a game I hit a TF for 2700 :P

Velzard of Koz1 votes

So long time ago, when IE had higher crit chance, you were also building Lord Dominik's Regards? :)

Trendition2 votes

They replaced the old last whipser with Lord Dominik's and Mortal Reminder.

So the Lord Dominik's picture he actually means the old Last Whipser Item.

Slivyr1 votes

This. I was about to link LW but realized the Armor Pen was still 40% on the old LW and it's now just 30%.

Velzard of Koz2 votes

I get what he means, still think that Last Whisper's icon would be more accurate, sicen the IE icon in this conext is poiting to old version as well. item 3035 Peace with you.

You mean Ezio's rework?

If you started maining Talon, what would you call yourself? Tenacious Talon?

Ah, of course. That's much better than what I suggested.

Maybe with that warning sign people would stop just walking near haystacks, ready to be killed, when they hear someone whistle inside it lul.

I could imagine something similar to Nautilus Q that lets him dash/blink to or over terrain... maybe?

Ralanr1 votes

Possibly. It'd give him much more mobility than before.

TurquoiseYoshi4 votes

He was called "situationally the most mobile champion in the game" in his direction thread.

Requiemsfire4 votes

Yeah this sort of worries me as well but that's because I actually play Talon. :l

Ralanr4 votes

Completely understandable.

Pulling something like that out of their ass is Riot saying "This guy has unhealthy play patterns and we have no idea what to do to him to fix it, so... let's pick something out of the grab bag of weird ideas, slap it on him, and see what happens."

This is just another Mordekaiser situation. There, the idea was "juggernaut melee adc."

Athenes Lulu5 votes

If anything, Riot actually considered a lot of community input 2 months ago, and that block of text about Talon's upcoming direction did in fact was a compilation of players' ideas.

So "pulling something out of their ass" is a pretty vague and very ignorant way to say what they're doing. Come on, that thread is right there on our very forums.

Goosetard1 votes

They're doing a better job of interacting with the community on their reworks, or at least being transparent about it. But nothing in that thread makes me think that they aren't just pulling out something wacky because his kit is a pain to balance from a "fun" perspective.

The idea of "talon's identity is roaming" is ridiculous. It's another iteration of their heavy-handed and ultimately untenable approach to giving champions extremely discrete identities. In that very thread there is an excellent rebuttal to the idea that talon's identity is roaming. Apparently, it was ignored.

I'm not saying what they have in store won't be pretty cool. Maybe it will. It sure sounds neat, and they can barely keep it together with how excited they are, constantly alluding to it and all. But nothing said there makes me think that Riot doesn't (correctly) think Talon's kit is horrendous to try to balance from a fun/interactive gameplay perspective, or that they decided to go someplace weird with his rework because there's no place else to go.

I think he's going to be able to climb on top of and then walk on top of walls for a short time, maybe even while stealthed and then he'll be able to jump down from the wall. This may be what they mean by "He's going to have the best out of combat mobility in the game."

Khadaver2 votes

i think his passive(since he's getting a new one) will let him wall hop instead of walk

The Sword Saint2 votes

Terrain specific mobility. Can't gapclose or escape in open area, but can move over walls on a low cooldown.

So does this mean he&#039;ll get Leap of Faith and haystack stabbing like assassins creed? Am I going to walk by a bush and see my dead ally in there, only to have myself stabbed in the back as I ponder what happened?

Dood in brown jacket, you should definitely go check that dood there on the wall. He might need your help

Where did they say this?

I dont like how they say they want to buff Kata on that site. Out of all the mid lane assassins, she is probably the strongest one atm oO

Definitely not. That honor goes to Diana or Fizz.

IPromiseTomorrow1 votes

Maybe he'll bounce around walls. So whenever he wants to gank a lane you'll see Talon dashing tree to tree in the jungle ninja style to gank a lane
