old talon > new talon

Old Talon

  • Faster w
  • Burst faster
  • Can reach farther targets easier
  • Much more reliable gap closer
  • Damage Amp

New Talon-

  • better roam due to E ( but really just a gimmick )
  • Bleed

That's about the only thing i like about new talon. Seems like if you pick talon team fights will be 4v5 cause there isn't a really good way for him to entire a fight without dying trying to get close or trading 1 for 1. Kinda wish talon still had cutthroat :/

These just my opinions

Only problem I see is his E which has a cool down of a ultimate to jump over the same wall which is trash and doesn't offer any speed buff or damage surprise buff when used. Old talon there was 0 counter unless your team mate has a reaction time of a sniper to save you before he burst you in under 1.5 sec, most people don't even click zonya fast enough but that is b.s that he did that and after the burst he can ult and run out really fast.

Ya that's a problem i see even with his Q dash which is stupid to do a face check, take out the wall jump or either give it a buff if he uses it. If not then give back talon old W ability to flash auto them.

he's healtheir, but not better.

The problem is that they took away too much from his maneuverability in teamfights. I made a post on this just now. If riot gives him back a bit of compensation, I think he'll be fine.

Cool story.

Current talon is broken. He's banned all across the board. 2v2/5v5/the crystal scar.

Paige weaver1 votes

2v2 isn't a thing for one and for two old talon is better they slowed his burst way to much.

I'm pretty sure a big point in the rework was that they didn't like how his blades indirectly affected other champions, I mean assassins usually don't enjoy team fights. Also how is a wall hop only a gimmick? He's literally one of the few champions that can use the walls to assassinate targets. As in an ability dedicated to use walls as dashes essentially.

besides roaming does it do anything else?

What does he need out of it that the rest of his kit doesn't give?

a reliable gap closer his q is shitty

The 2nd Horseman1 votes

It's a 550 targeted dash, how is that shitty when paired with his wall dashes? Would you like to give him percent max health true damage?

its a point and click dash that sucks to compared to a blink

I don't think you understand that every wall in the game is a dash for you or the fact your ult can no longer be countered by pink wards. How about trying to learn the new kit instead of complaining about it. Also in what ways was the older talon faster when he only had on dash?

his new kit simple as hell just like his old one but the burst from his old kit was 100% faster that what you have now. If a team is always grouped in 5v5 gl running to possible trade 1 for 1. Plus i've been against talon...having to ult and run towards a target really guarantee a nice swift escape...

The only change I'd like is AA'ing makes the 2nd portion of W converge to that unit additionally.

The rework 100% helped talon but his W does have counterplay so punishing someone hit by the 1st part but blink even closer but out of range should be punishable. We aren't ekko who has a repodition tool so it'd make sense if W worked like ulti where if you land an AA before the duration is over it homes in on that unit instead of on you.

i think it helped his roaming but not his damage. Its to unreliable for an assassin i can legit do more burst damage with ap malphite than talon can

It helped his waveclear and harass from what I'm feeling now you can just clear with 1 button and land first w before they can even touch you. And all-in sooner w/o it being cheese if overstepping happens.

And idk 1 passive proc means death for most squishies from what I seen.

And if not using the remainder skill will ene it. Unlike old talon he can do with his ulti being up due to passive. I still just feel for the delay melee range units need a bit of punishing. Which would fix his only real issue without being oppressive since it's not removing his counterplay but removing the cheese counterplay.

You gotta play him differently Use walls to reach the carry I personally use ghost to give me more stickiness as well as a way to quickly get to another wall to start hopping W+R+Q+AA is some scary damage

if the enemy is not stupid they would possibly have wards covering their flanks. cause talon has no other way to enter a fight but with his ult...then die trading 1 for 1

Talon New talon is better at killing enemies in lane. But the main problem is his E, when he ult, he cant e, or else the e will cancel his ult which is useless when chasing down an enemy. [zombie-brand-mindblown]

but his new passive is really helpful*[slayer-pantheon-thumbs]*

His Q needs to apply on hit effects.

Also his bleed needs to be just stacking to three hits from abilities. Having to Auto attack to get it going is harder then it would seem and costs you a lot because his attack speed SUCKS.
