And I'm just sitting here asking, "Why?" over and over.... No seriously, just because you heard he looks cool doesn't mean you automatically jump onto the fotm. You don't even know what is kit is yet...

Remember when most people played their mains and got experience on those instead of band-wagoning every reworked character in the hopes that rito makes one of them ridiculously OP? Pepperidge Farm remembers...

Agreed. it's fucking disgusting. As an Actual Talon main, It is gonna be so painful seeing all the kids come out of the woodwork and put my boi to shame. :(

Talon was the second champion that I ever properly got into. Unfortunately the appeal wore off very quickly because I was bored to tears by his kit. I still play talon every now and then, but he is certainly not my main, but that is something that has disappointed me for ages. Because thematically he is probably my second favourite in the game (resident sand emperor is number one sorry).

So what this rework can potentially do for me is completely remove any negative feelings I have when playing Talon. Now I'm not saying this is what EVERY player hyped for Talon will be feeling, but I'm sure there'd be others like me.

What you described is actually pretty accurate to how I feel about him atm, but it is more a case of him just not being a a good stop atm moreso than the bored of using his kit, even tho it does apply here.

I have been begging Riot to rework or update Talon in significant ways since S3. And now it seem me and many others prayers have been answered. I just hope that whatever they do to him makes him actually worth using and not just a gimmick. And also not something so op that he becomes FotM again and i can not only never play him, but he gets nerfed into the ground.

Hype does stupid things to people. Especially when you have very little to go on.

You should see what the Sombra hype did in Overwatch. Boy was it stupid.

I have a friend who mains certain things only because they "look cool", so his pool of champs are things after 2012.

My point being, this isn't anything new, unfortunately.

Get hyped, ask for some dumb things (like bigger V-neck), ignore mains that cry that its no longer champion they loved, play for one week, leave in dust, happy with new champion (bc they never played him/her prerework so why should they care?)

Yeah i know that, im still looking for new main.

Another champion update, another post complaining about how more people will play their main. You people need to get over yourselves.

The fact that they haven't even released his kit and people are claiming him as a main is ridiculous. Imagine if Toyota said they would release a "fast car" and everyone started to preorder it even though everything about the car (specs, model, design) hasn't been released. No person in their right mind would do that.

Especially since it's Toyota, lol.

Pre ordering is different from claiming a main and Toyota is not League. I'm tired of seeing these type of posts every time a champion is being updated. Let them do what they want, sure it's annoying but you aren't stopping anyone.

It's kind of premature to do something like this. Everyone is jumping on the bandwagon for Talon. It's like Illaoi. People got really excited and bought her, but she ended up being not the best champion. Or Kindred, who got nerfed to the ground.
