P.S:First of all, sorry if my english sounds bad, i'm brazilian (And yes, i'm ready for the stones)

Greetings! I'd like to know what Riot planned for Talon, i feel you guys kinda forgot about him. Because i feel the "Assassin" gameplay today looks something like "Burst someone with lots of AoE abilities and get out" just like and , so, they got mechanics for doing this.

But for Talon players, they must carefully choose how to use Shadow Assault: As an escape, or as an AoE Consistent damage and positioning.

And, unlike the above-listed assassins, Talon can't simply "burst" a champion, i think his kit is lacking instant damage for an AD assassin.

And come on! Look at him! He's supposed to be "THE ASSASSIN".

Please, tell me what you guys think :)

lol please, i delete ppl with talon all the time. although i think you may be on to something with the lack of an escape. but then again ult and E could be used as an escape. would be awesome if he could ward jump or at the very least jump to a teammate. personally i like how talon is atm. but also keep in mind that a lot of people seem to dislike the whole thing about assasins getting in and killing a champ then getting out scott free. last thing i want is him gettign nerfed.

I think he should have something else. Riot came out with why they won't let Cutthroat jump to friendlies and I agree with them.

It's flavor is he jumps on them and slashes their throat so they can't cast spells.

It also forces talon to very carefully pick his fights rather than fly in and out of the fray. Something which I find important to talon's character. What he needs is tough because the thing is, Talon isn't all that bad really.

Its just that his early game is really really weak, so people think he sucks just because they get beat on for the first 15 minutes of any given game.

yeah that is so true, his early game is weak as hell and its really unforgiving if you're trying to learn him at first. i know i had one of the worst 10 games when i picked talon up. i was resolved to learn him so i just powered through. now im more than happy with the results. honestly though some assassins can jump into a fight and and get away with it unfortunately talon doesn't have that luxury. looking at you leblanc. i overall though like his kit as it is and if there are gonna be some changes i hope nothing too drastic happens. i love his Q nuke and ult. actually all of his skills.

Personally I like the ult as is, because of its versatility, but I do agree Talon needs attention and he could use some tweaking towards his thematics and playstyle.

P.S. You're English is perfectly fine, great even =)

I strongly agree, his early game is weak as hell! And he needs to get fed if you really want burst. His ult IS useful and his silence, great gap closer. If he's fed, he can pretty much kill about any enemy champ, so I think people underestimate his damage he can do. His mid and late are pretty good too if played right. But right now, he's sadly just a counter to most AP mids. ( Leblanc Katarina , and etc.) Oh, great English!
