reverted reworks and Talon

Konetsu··1 votes·948 views

riot failed with the assassin reworks, they know it and reverted some of the reworks... leblanc got reverted as well... they reverted kogmaw, rengar, leblanc etc. so why not talon? new talon is useless, falls off late game harder than almost any other champion... buggy as hell, e backflips, q range doesnt work properly, w is really slow and second part is impossible to land if enemy is not as bad as a hardstuck bronze5.

e is useless in laning 99% of the time, he doesnt have a reliable engage or escape, even some tanks oneshot squishies faster than Talon, an assassin... his winrate is only 51% with a low play rate, only mains play him yet still doesnt have a high wr.

old talon could work better, all he needed is a better passive maybe... not a rework. talon rework is a fail, it's the most unsuccessful rework of all yet rito doesnt care about him. they reverting lb and rengar cuz they're popular, they were better than the new talon but still got reverted. just give me back my talon rito... bring him back!

So, being able to jump over terrain (while a lot of other jgl champs only have a speed boost (Volibear, Udyr) or a dash, his leap would allow him to get away and chase easier than the champs mentioned above.

His E is ALSO a good tool for stealing baron/drake, flash into the dude, jump away unharmed, with a low cooldown.

I disagree, and likely most other players who play Talon occasionally or main Talon would too. I know there are some who did not like his changes in the assassin update, but as a champion he is more viable and better in more situations. I would like Riot to rework/improve some parts of his kit sure, but not by doing a revert. I made a thread today on why he shouldn't be reverted, and I made a thread last week on a potential way they can rework him that would give him a more "ninja" vibe to his kit, and Riot Meddler has said he will discuss that Talon rework thread with me in the most recent quick gameplay thoughts. Give it a look if you are interested or like some of the new concepts that I thought of, doesn't have to be all of it.
