Annie and talon

Why is it that a roaming annie is more fearsome than a roaming talon? Why is her burst faster and scarier than talons?

here is a random cute picture to look at http://imgur.com/e41hSpl ( lulu mix)

Because the balance in this game is done by monkeys.

Because even if you ward, juke and kill her; Tibbers IS gonna kill you.

Because at lvl 5 your kiting-fu is weak.

Because roaming burst champions are terrifying.

Also because Annie has AoE burst that's usually just more effective than single target burst (AKA: Talon's damage type).

Because Annie should at best only get away with it once every 5 minutes.

Talon has the means to damn near camp someone's ass after every minion wave.

But by all means, continue to limit the value of assassins by their burst

so talon beats annie in lane?

you have to pick one, is Talon's/Annie's burst speed the problem, the fact that Annie can do it faster than Talon, or that she beats Talon in lane?

The Assassins had their up front burst traded for superior combat/macro maneuverability and trickery, Annie could have 0.00000000005 second burst, but it will ALWAYS be predominantly gated behind a flash engage, meaning its a once every 5 minutes trick. The assassins have 1.5-2 second bursts because they have superior macro/micro mobility that is almost unmatched in the game, certainly as a class.

Once people realise Assassins can kill targets more often and reliably they'll realise how strong they really are (not necessarily quickly, but consistently), they are now the unequivocally best pick-champions in the game
