So, what's up with Talon having 39 base MR?

Altiverse··6 votes·1,179 views

All ranged champions have 30 base MR + 0.5 growth p/level, and all melee champions have 32.1 base MR + 1.25 growth p/level. What's up with making Talon an exception? It's kinda weird. Couldn't he be buffed in different areas?

They want him to do better in the midlane (which mostly consists of mages who do magic damage) and not show up as much toplane (which more consists of melee champs who do physical damage)

They said it was because he was 'taking too much magic damage' after missing MR runes from the old runes. So their solution was to give him the highest base MR and a little less armour.

I wonder what is the difference between him, Zed, Fizz, Ekko, Kat or any other melee midlaner.

Zed fizz and kat all have easier mobility/defensive tools than talon, zed w/ shadows Kat shunpo fizz E untargetability, and ekko has Q to waveclear more easily from distance. Before talon gets ult he doesn't have any defensive mobility unless he's near a wall.

He feels awful to play against, especially with that range on his abilities. I say make the base MR 32.1 again and leave everything else alone. Once he gets a kill he just snowballs out of control right now. He needs to be more killable.

He's already pretty billable and more gankable than other assassins. The mr doesn't change how talon will play against you and how you should play against him

I suppose you're right.

What range? His Q is super short and the 'gap closer' is linear. It's easy to accidentally Q to a minion rather than enemy too because of how short it is. Only range he has is his Rake. Or leaping over walls I guess if you count that.

As a Talon main I didn't understand the buff either since talon need a things in other areas, but I assume with duskblade nerfs he will get them 8.6/8.7. The buff to mr and nerf to armor really don't change anything.

One time in a thousand years a struggling champion has their defenses increased instead of offenses - and people... nevermind.
