Why buff talon?

Riot seriously, you gave him more mr then other things to make him and op. Now no ap mid laner which is viable can do much. A talon can simply take almost every inch of your damage and an ap mage can’t do shit b/c his hp bar was blown with talon passive and electrocute and ignite. The ignite damage is over kill. Your making things op insanely JUST STOP GET SOME HELP OR YOULL END UP LIKE THOSE GAMES THAT ARE ABANDONED BY THE DEVS. Seriously stop pushing every button you have launched 3 nukes and they hit azir ryze, and even fking . Nerf talon or face the wrath of aimbots..

Riot admitted he was a bit on the weak side even before the duskblade changes hence the MR buff. Since he was sorta struggling in mid lane which is where they want him to be, and was doing better toplane than an AD Assassin would normally do they had to give Talon players more incentive to pick him mid over top.

And as for these other buffs, these are simply to give him a bit more power back that he lost from the duskblade nerfs. He still lost some damage from these duskblade nerfs. He has a really low range. If you're getting bursted it's probably because you're out of position and therefore make an easy target. If your team has CC and you buy Zhonyas as a mage you're going to be really hard to kill for Talon since he'll be a sitting duck if he jumps in and fails to assassinate someone. All he has for an escape is his parkour or his ult to re-position if he didn't already blow it trying to assassinate someone. Come late game Talon falls off hard if he doesn't get his team ahead or any objectives. He isn't even picked all that often so not sure why you're complaining about him. Also Azir is supposed to be bullying Talon...it's one of the more annoying matchups for him.

They buffed him to offset the duskblade nerfs. All champions who build it got a buff. Also you won't win lane. Also you outscale him.if he didn't take towers, you won because his power is fleeting. I know because I play talon if I'm mid. Talon is a bully. How do you beat a bully in grade school. You tire him out. You take summoner 3 . It reduced damage by 30%. Setting him on core is effective but you'll get arrested. You're ranged. He isn't. This isn't pantbien so attack whim when he goes for farm. Just because the bully can hurt you doesn't mean you can't fight back. Mid game/highschool you have a job. Use it to to buy or borrow $10000 of blood money from the Japanese mafia/Yakuza to buy a item 3157 then go play tf2 scream fortress and board the strongman for a bumpercar minigame XD. You see that circle of blades, use zhonias and he won't be able to get the flower combo off. You also get armor. Now coage. Well now he's weak. He will call see trouble in other ways. He will splitpush or kill the adc. If he's alone, don't send the adc. Send the tank in lane f yo have one. Send someone needs bigger than him. Tanks can't get bursted.

talon did get nerfed. do the math on the compensation buffs compared to the damage he lost from a single duskproc ( let alone when you compare 2 proc) same goes for every other assassin except for Kha'zix and Shaco. If you don't believe me go check the winrates lol

btw dont say talon is op when you go 0-5 against a bronze 5 because you didnt buy seekers and instead went for item 3101
