Comeback after 2 years.
Talon seems entirely useless now. Lost vital long range gapcloser, W has a big delay now and the worst part: you build items that would be considered OFFTANK items back then. Old talon would I would go brutalizer into BT into LW and fuck shit up. The lack of a long range gapcloser and the new forced itemization, which make his autoattacks literally useless past applying the passive, he seems like utter trash now.
He bursts targets down pretty easily and he is weak by no means. His new e also makes him uncatchable, and allows for unique roams. Just practice on him and adjust with the new runes.
You know Talon has one of the strongest lane phases, roaming potential, and assassination for a mid ad right? Have you trying playing him or is this a onlookers opinion? Just asking
Are you building lethality? ( Duskblade and Youmuu's) because these are core items on him that increase his burst to very high levels.
Also his Q does leap to people if they're out of AA range and his E is really good at chasing people/Escaping.
His burst is still really good, I think you may not be used to him yet, or you may not be used to what the new runes do to play around them I can't say for sure.
the gap closer was moves to Q and E is the biggest cheat for assassins
lethality items are not considered off tank and if your not building them then thats why you are useless
Talon has always bee a caster type auto attacks were not his focus
Talon is the new pantheon of mid lane https://plays.tv/video/58d8600f2eb322d6e5/what-talon-does-low-armor-targets-is-actually-disgusting?from=user
If you're back after 2 years chances are you have no understanding of how to play/build the new Talon so you're really not in a position to make judgements on champions
What this thread should've been was: "Back after 2 years, new Talon seems kinda weak to me? Am I doing something wrong?"
He's not as weak as you think.
Try adapting before you make snap judgements after being gone for a while. His kit works quite well, his burst is very good, and AD Assassin items are quite good for him.
