I like talon, except stupid champions like Zed just do more dmg with even more mobility. sigh, rito favourism.

He's right though.

Talon's damage is fucking retarded.

Yeah as you can tell by my username I'm a big Zed player.

No but I don't play Zed, and Talon's burst is higher.

The DeckownerJun 3, 20161 votes

the only reason people play Talon is becauze his combo's fast part, not the dmg part. he is very good at doing things fast, but his dmg is not the best.

Very Hard EngageJun 3, 20161 votes

i like him, i just think he takes too long to pull of his combo and without enough mobility he just dies while hes trying to assassinate his squishy.

:| his combo is instant what

Very Hard EngageJun 3, 20161 votes

not with auto attacks and casting animations, the real spike in his power. and please, tell me his ult is all at once damage

its nowhere near instant, you play talon and tell that to me again.

E Q W R R how hard is that to do?

Q E W R R if they don't see you coming to already have the Q up for the combo.

Very Hard EngageJun 3, 20161 votes

so you got 1 empowered auto off, the negligible damage from E, 1 rake, and maybe you'll get all the damage from your ult off?

shame that doesn't 100-0 a squishy and you blew your full kit, put yourself at risk, and didn't end up with a kill because you simply weren't already ahead.

talon needs at least 2 autos, ignite, and hydra to kill a squishy. that for sure isn't instant.

so once again, go play talon, you'll see it takes around 2~3 seconds for everything to happen.

but if you were looking to assassinate an already low hp target, then sure, talons OP, nerf imba.

idk what kind of talon you are building, but it must be trash if you can't kill a squishy with a full combo.

go play talon. bye bye.

I like running CDR on him, makes my lane buddy pull their hair out every time I throw an arc of razor blades every few seconds.

exactly. you get to spam your ult for free because its on something like a 48 second cooldown as well?

its ridiculous

Talon is the best designed AD Assassin in game, they should buff him and nerf Zed , Khazix and Rengar until he has as much playrate as they have now combined, and their combined playrate is what Talon has now.

But oh well, he's not as flashy.

MissMikasaJun 3, 20161 votes

The only one that deserves nerfs out of those three are Zed. Kha needs buffs and Reng prbly just needs tuning up.

YJRBqwXJcSJun 3, 20161 votes

talon is in the best spot of all right nowcompared to other assassins.

Zed banned all the time Ekko not even played as an assassin played as a tank Kassadin trash Katarina trash Akali trash Evelynn trash Fizz getting nerfed again LeeSin secretly trash but everyone praises him Rengar ok Shaco garbage Leblanc good Ahri has had over a 50% winrate for multiple seasons Khazix trash Nidalee ok jungler Cassiopeia i dont even know how shes doing Talon the only actual good assassin left. item 3147 item 3071 item 3158 and they are gone

yea assassins get shit all the time forb eing broken yet theres only very few assassins you can choose.

MissMikasaJun 3, 20161 votes

Yup I agree.

Maximum MordeJun 3, 20161 votes

Ya I remember him. He's another example of he gets ur booty and there isn't anything you can do about it cancer like instagib Rengar. Still less cancer than Fizz/Leblanc/Zed cuz at least he actually risks dying to do it.

LadyRenlyJun 3, 20161 votes

Talon is good. Heaven forbid a decent instanuke assassin be viable and good but not pick/ban

C9 Scott Free Jun 3, 20161 votes

Uhhhhh Riot has only not gutted Talon because he is not played a lot. If he got popular he would be destroyed lol. I say this as someone who would pick Talon for the sole purpose of spiteful erasing. I have erased people so fast as Talon my team didn't even know that enemy had been near the teamfight.

They legit said I didn't do anything and I had to ask them where Trist was before they realized I deleted the enemy before anyone knew I had been there at all. Probably the funniest comms moment I've had to date.

Vistha KaiJun 3, 20161 votes

Over 3% pick rate in ranked.

That's actually a decent number.
