Tbh id rather fight zed than talon.

Atleast with zed a quick exhaust will stop him. imo talon feels like he completely lacks any counterplay except flash as an adc.

If talon popped your GA then it practically means nothing since you will die 1 second later from your team being pushed up

not a talon is op thread but just saying id rather fight zed

talon has counterplay, but he is getting change to extend the window of fighting back.

Yeah the current counterplay is GA or flash.

well no, a pink ward for his lvl 6 engage works wonders. If you're ap take the seekers armguard early, if your AD take a dorans shield and maybe an early ninja tabi, his engage is also pretty easy to see coming so just be prepared to fight back

EDIT: oshit it says ur adc, well that's sortof talons job (instakill one person or die trying), just tell your support to take a pink and exhaust

Pink ward isnt the problem. I know where hes going and i know where hes at.

But if you mix talon with lets say a sivir or anything that can give MS, boom you're dead no matter what. and ninja tabi dont do anything especially when he has around 30-40 flat armor pen and grabs black cleaver after which is his standard build.

my point is that you cant really itemize against him, you have to have someone else save you

that's kindof the point of talon though, he is meant to 100-0 you instantly. It is DEFINITELY not healthy but my tips were aimed towards helping a mid laner as I rushed through your post. Not sure if you read my edit but it says that you do need someone to save you

no, this is definitely a talon bitching thread because no one actually cares about who you would rather fight. also why are you complaining about a champion that is getting reworked anyway

oh you suck at the game. no wonder you have nothing constructive to say.

If you had atleast one brain cell you'd see how hypocritical your own sentence was.

its better to fight talon, although his burst is higher and applied in a smaller time frame, you zhonyas and he gets nothing, unless you are alone. but if you have a team behind you he dies instantly, theres nothing but his ult to get him out, but if hes doing that hes not dealing damage, hes escaping. unlike zed whos isn't "slippery" but rather he just creates impossible to cover distances between you, him, and his shadow.

So...I don't really see much point of this thread. He's getting reworked soon and they'll be removing his gap closer, and making him do less aoe, damage etc. Aren't assassins meant to delete squishies? I mean I do understand it's not fun being deleted by a Talon (or anyone for that matter). And it can be frustrating but they are addressing it.
