After seeing NB3 play the new talon, the new talon seems to be trash.

Why is the new talon so strong? His damage seems pretty low.

pfffff he doesnt one shot anymore. He seems to be more like a caster now.

Don't gimme that, he one-shots just fine. He can actually do something without ult now though, and he has multiple damage combos.

he has to spam q a couple times tho and then get in melee range.

Because he didn't have to do that before...

its simply because of the granted crit. And although a bleed that passive is balls out nuke. Take a look at those ratios

The roaming potential and escapes are what makes new talon good, hes not an assasin that walks in and bursts you hes the assasin that jumps into your lane and with his team kills you, and can safetly escape, since unless you have the damage to kill him AND the cc to lock him down, killing him is practically impossible

ok. So he's useless against vayne now and a lot of other adcs.

NB3 was trying to play him like old Talon.

Talon's new ultimate does not last nearly as long as his old one, and he doesn't have the upfront burst he used to.


You play around getting near the enemy, and only use your ult mid-fight now in order to get a Q crit. Using it to gapclose is a waste now unless you can get the kill without the crit.

ok. still talon doesnt one shot anymore with ult. He doesnt seem that strong.

Riot's turning them all into fighters, rather than assassins.

Most of them are still strong, just not as full AD.

Apparently only ADCs are allowed to be successful when doing that.

nightblue is bad, that's all.

He does INSANE damage, however it's gonna be a lot more difficult getting to your target in an actual game with competent players. If you're saying he's OP watching PBE games just know that theirs literally no support in every game lol
