It's about time for a new Talon skin

Talon was one of my favorites before the rework, and I consider his rework to be loads of fun to execute (not sure how I feel about his actual power levels yet). His rework made me want to play him even more. Which, in turn, makes me wish I had some skins for Talon that I would have a lot of fun using.

Project Talon - Obvious. This needs to happen. So many cool directions this can go in. Gotta be blue, blue's my favorite color and talon's base color is blue. You know it would be like just printing money to release it, so just do it ASAP. His dash attack could involve almost a teleporting visual effect. His W could be holographic darts of light which at the end of their flight have a digital portal opening effect to materialize techy blades that then fly back.

Assassin's Creed themed Talon https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/f7/bf/4f/f7bf4fc6afe327c77f83a6fdeb834c7c.jpg Come on, you know you have to at some point. Not only did his original costume already kind of look similar, except blue, but with the new parkour the relation is it's no longer deniable. If Lux can have a sailor moon rip off costume, I think we can get a Talon Assassin's Creed rip off costume. Custom and varied walljumping animations are also a possibility, at the cost of being a more expensive skin. Ie: a forward handstand flip over a wall that you are bounding over, or having a couple variations on the forward wall flip. Versus having a different animation for a flip that merely bounces or runs off the wall to travel forward. There's even the possibilty of having a different animation for the shorter versus the taller obstacles on maps.

Ninja Talon - Not just his wall jumping, but his new kunai's turning into shurikens and being pulled back just looks ripe for some naruto inspired designs. You could have his ultimate look like it triggers a smoke bomb to conceal himself. You could have visible wires that connect to the kunai/shuriken, making them a bit visible by a sunlight glint on them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SylfeQa8_Qo HIs sprint animation could be the naruto anime style run: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBb6rEoHXQM

Spec Ops or Omega squad Talon - I'd personally go more for the later, going for more of a tech theme rather than a natural military theme. You could also go in different direction pulling more inspiration from splintercell or metal gear style spec ops costumes and gear. It would all fit with his mobile assassin nature.

Chosen Talon - Who doesn't like lightsabers, force powers, and star wars style tech? Complete with new sounds, and I'd be wiling to pay for some new animations if necessary too. You can't go wrong here. Instant buy.

Forsaken Talon - Someone else suggested this, but he had a point: You could do some cool looking stuff along the theme Jayce has. It would be an easy theme to pull off for Talon.

I would be content with a generic ninja skin altered to suit Talon's style. It doesn't have to be a naruto rip off, although you could probably borrow elements from that if you felt so inspired.

But even if you go with a generic ninja skin, you still have to be sure to animate the wires connecting the kunai to talon. It actually makes sense then why they fly back to him after going out a certain distance. I do, however, think that whatever it looks like it would still be very fun to have him do the naruto ninja style run. Especially since speed and sprinting abilities are a big part of Talon's normal gameplay.

I just noticed they have a bloodmoon talon coming out, but I personally don't like the bloodmoon series of skins. So I am not the least bit excited about it, and would probably never buy it even on sale.

yeah, i just realized that bloodmoon talon is comming out aswell... awkward.. xD anyways i don't like any of talon's current skins, i agree that they are quite boring and lack luster compaird to some of the nicer (even non-legendary) skins. I, however, love the bloodmoon line. I bought the skin for Elise and plan on getting it for both diana and talon, proving that they are good quality, and using them quite often.

Program Talon might actually be better than Project Talon.
