welp riot did it again, they turned a laner into a jungler

So not many people were happy with graves being turned into a top laner/jungler and now mainly jungler. While many people enjoyed Graves new play style many people also missed what Graves used to be. What was even more sad is that we would probably never get anything close to the old Graves ever again besides Lucian, which he himself has a very unique identity.

With another major class update riot has done it again by turning Talon into a jungler.

Passive: a slightly different darius passive, however it works just fine on jungle camps

Q-While this ability is basically the same except given a leap

W-Is now much skinnier, thus heavily reducing his wave clear in mid lane

E-Completely gone and replaced with a almost reksai tunnel mechanic

The main problems are the changes to W and E

Everyone can honestly agree that unless Talon got a lead he was very easy to abuse in lane. What made his lane phase possible was he could wave clear with his W, and if his opponent made the mistake of getting hit to many times by W he could all in with his E.

However with his E being completely gone, he now lacks a combat ability for fighting mid laners, which has been replaced with a roaming ability/ganking ability. The Q length is not the longest range, and is more of to be a mini gap closer for that last little push you need.

So in this update talons all in has been taken away from him (E), and talons wave clear was also taken from him, for a more favorable single target/maybe two target ability.

Honestly I see Talon becoming the Assassin Reksai.

What makes Reksai a great jungler is she can do some interesting ganks by going over walls, however this ability is also the same reason reksai is a poor laner, for it's a roaming ability, not exactly a ability laners want to have. Laners want abilities that give them lane dominance or lane sustain.

I feel it is very unfair to tell Talon mains "if you want to play talon you now have to become a jungler"

Maybe i'm just worried, but this year I also became a jungler main, and through a junglers eyes, when I look at the new talon i just think.

"oh it's reksai except he's bursty and not tanky"
