Yorick was released with 2 skins.

Make a new thread if you want to talk about another champ. This isn't a which champion deserves the most pity competition.

Dragonhunted1 votes

Why? If you want to point it out at one champ, at least make sure to realize that there are champs who are way worse off in that department. At least riot acknowledges that Talon exists. Meanwhile Yorick isn't even allowed to be on free week rotation or get skins because they keep delaying his rework.

forist2 votes

I'll reiterate just in case anyone else is as slow as you, this thread is not a pity contest. No one here is arguing that yorick isn't due some skins, but bringing him up every time someone posts about wanting a new skin for a champ is ridiculous, and it happens almost always on talon skin threads. For some reason, people on here are under the impression that whenever riot makes a new skin for a champ that they are ignoring the chance to give a skin to ones that don't have as many skins. Riot chooses to make skins thematically, and are most likely not limited in the resources they allocate to individual champions. So not wanting riot to make new skins for any champs until the less endowed ones get some or even trying to draw their attention away from other champs seems pretty selfish imo.

Spookybox makes a good point.

Riot makes skins when they want, for who they want, and it's selfish for anyone on these boards to bring up the pathetic filth like Talon and Yorick.

So everyone just stop posting skin requests, you are drawing attention away from what Riot wants to make. Quit being selfish.

Umm.. sorry but did I quote you on something? Am i somehow wrong in assuming the whole context of your post was to ejaculate onto riot's face?

Uhm Neither of those champs are filth, Just saying.

Dragonhunted1 votes

First of all, dickhead, I wasn't arguing for a pity post. I was simply pointing the fact that Talon is by no means the worst off in the department where you idiots are crying. But that's okay, you don't seem to know what reading skills are.

But Yorick is looking to be reworked He's even been removed from champ rotation

I believe that Talon will be getting a Samsung White World Championship skin sometime in the future.

MrBuffington1 votes

Are they doing it based on player request? IIRC Faker wanted an Ahri skin, but they gave him a Zed one instead (then again, xPeke's probably most famous for his Kassadin but they didn't give him a Kassadin skin...?)

Leena Guttal1 votes

Yes, its based on request. The players can change their request any time.

I think the reason why Faker was given a Zed skin instead was because Popstar Ahri had recently come out during that time. Luckily for us, Talon hasn't had a skin in a very long time, so I'm pretty sure we'll get a SSW skin for him, unless PawN changes his mind.

Bard hasnt had a new skin in like 12 hours.

Only Play Darius2 votes

He's a forgotten champion.

He was already terrible while he still had his silence, but he has been pure garbage ever since they removed it, now he has no way of interrupting death lotus.

His sole purporse was to hard counter katarina, now he can't beat her in lane, he is useless. And as far as being an assassin is concerned, he is completely outclassed by Zed, in literally every possible aspect.

He's honestly a joke, not trying to offend anyone, but he is the definition of trash-tier.

That being said he needs some love, I don't play Talon but I hate to see any champion rot in the gutter.

Krizalid1 votes

Strangely I always win my lane as Talon.

Mecha MaIphite3 votes

Also, Zed can't shred teams. Zed's late game is nowhere near as good as Talon's.

I've played both champs before, the difference in their late power is pretty noticeable.

ccseancc1431 votes

I strictly play talon in ranked.

Levyathyn1 votes

Actually, I never do too badly as Talon. Even in swamped games against a superior, stacked team I always seem to come through and do my job. I usually win lane, too, or when shutout (like with a Galio or once a Xin Zhao) manage to roam and do impressive damage to the rest of the team. I know he doesn't have Akali's consistent burst and chase, or Kat's mana-free experience in lane, but I think he's solid.

Do I want his E improved? Hell yeah, and rename that bitch while you're there. And do I want his passive, one of the worst in the game, fixed? Shit yes. But until then he's not bad.

TacoTheScrub1 votes

Thought I disagree about him being trash, I think he's a fairly strong champion right now.

As is anyone in the game if you know them well

But I agree on your point of seeing champions rot in the corners of the game. eg Galio and such.

Battle Bunny Talon and Heartseeker Taric please. There is no end to the amount of money I would pay.

zac /thread

jpo1zj0c2Y1 votes

Zac was released in 2013 which was means he hasnt had a skin in 2 years, not 3

femmé1 votes

my point is that zac HASN'T GOT A SKIN since release while Talon at least has dragon blade and crimson...i'm not saying he doesn't need one i'm just saying that zac hasn't even gotten ONE skin for 2 years but then again this thread is about Talon not zac.

jpo1zj0c2Y1 votes

Dragonblade Talon is the only skin Talon he's gotten since release, Crimson Elite was released with him I believe. However, I do agree Zac needs a skin...and Pool party would be the perfect theme for him Pool Party Ahri, Zac, Orianna please rito

What about Renegade Talon?

Raid Boss Morde1 votes

It's been almost 4 years since Mordekaiser has received a new skin. 1401 days, or just 3 years and 10 months. Yorick has also waited longer.

Talon can wait for a little while too.

jpo1zj0c2Y1 votes

Yes, but when they made the decision to make 2 soraka skins in 5 months, you realize that Riot probably forgot about Talon

Raid Boss Morde1 votes

They also made two Varus skins very close together. Ashe, and Nami too.

They also forgot about Morde and Yorick.

jpo1zj0c2Y1 votes

Yeah I agree with you here. I've been a Talon main for a while now, and I feel like Riot's forgotten about him item 3070 I really like the concept of Soul Reaver Talon, and a rioter has actually commented on the original Soul Reaver Talon concept saying that it looked awesome lol But I think Battle Bunny Talon would fit the theme of April Fools now...

BTW the next Talon skin is probably/definitely going to be SSW Talon as Pawn requested it

talking about SSW skins, there is some news about them?

captainkaiger1 votes

There's a bunch of things to consider here on whether or not skins are made: How often people play X champ, you're right time is a factor, difficulty of making a skin for X champ (Jinx, Zac especially), general themes and how fitting they are for X champ, how amazing is the fan idea, and does this champ need a complete overhaul.

Talon fits a couple of those criteria, but how many skins does Guy Who Stabs Things need to get the point across that he stabs things. Dunkmaster Darius came out because he quickly became the king of it, and somebody a long time ago came up with a great concept. Furthermore, it takes a long time to take the rough drawn concept, and turn that into new champ model, then properly code it in right. You wouldn't want to see Battle Bunny Riven on say the Rammus model. That just leads to broken hilarity.

Also, Battle Bunny Talon? On a guy that doesn't hop around at all? It makes sense for Riven because she's always jumping/dashing. But not for someone who's most complex animation is a spin.

ew nobody likes taric talon we need more lee sin skins and annie skins those are the only good good champions in league, #WhoseYorick (There is alot of sarcasm in there.)

Sukishoo1 votes

I agree, MORE ANNIE SKINS NOW! XD

Seriously though, the only idea that isn't absolutely atrocious on that list is Soul Reaver... the rest should be dropped in a volcano, especially ANY battle bunny skins.

BubbaDuke1 votes

It's hard to believe it's been so long since Talon was releases.

I think other champions need skins quite a bit more than Talon.

Zac, for one thing.

Zed could use a skin that is available all year.

And others, but I think Riot does a good job of fairly distributing skins.
