New Talon

Radiant Wukong··3 votes·445 views

No longer has a reliable way to get closer or deal damage to ranged champions. As a champion I've been using since his release date (my 2nd summoner name, after changing it from my real name and learning the game was "Talon Wukong", still my 2 favorites to this day, even though S2 I mainly used Riven because of how Godly she was) and I understand how powerful he was.

Don't get me wrong, if you check my match history with new Talon, I'm still consistently pulling in S ranks from having a large amount of CS, but I have absolutely no way to deal damage to ranged champs in laning phase. Late game, I have to activate item 3142 then use my ult from the FoW just to get close to somebody like Jinx Veigar since the blink has been changed to a leap and will get me CC'd if I use it over a trap/wall.

Lastly, I haven't tried it yet, but I used to use Talon's blink not just to get around Veigar wall, but to pass through a Lux bind/slow combo, does it being a leap now mean I'll get binded if I try to "leap" over it?

Riot wants to force you to build item 3814 to compensate for his kit weaknesses.

I know, I absolutely refuse to make room for that item in my full build. I have room for item 3156 , but that's it.

If Edge of night blocked all abilities for like 2 seconds, maybe I could. But against champions like VelkozVeigar Zyra , blocking 1 ability isn't going to do.

I mean, most ranged champions have 550 range, punish them for autoattacjung minions. Remember, w has 900 range and a slow on it.

Yeah that's not how the new W works. The 900 range is perhaps if you hit the very furthest pixel, not to mention the slow is only on the way back so unless your enemy is comletely mentally handicapped you'll never land it twice on max range...
