Quick question for a Rioter or someone who works on the Story branch!

Hi Story team!

Since my English isn't the best due to non native speaker, I just would love to know if you have any plans for Talon's lore update!

It's been a while since Noxus's release and I remember a Rioter said that Talon and Riven stories were on the way, that we shouldn't worry about waiting another long year to hear news from both.

And since Riven's lore has been updated along with Ionia, I was just wondering if we will have anything, even a hint for Talon's lore before the end of the year.

I appreciate y'all for reading my post! LONGSWORDS FOR LIFE

PS: I'm a spanish roleplayer, that's why I was wondering if he will ever be changed!

Yes, we have plans. :-)

I can't really say anything more than that!

Fingers crossed that along with Talon, that Sion's lore is fixed and brought back up to standard.

What about my boy, Vladimir?

I've been asking the same question for three years now.

Maybe if we get only a little bit more annoying something will happen? I have a gut feeling.

You might be onto something, there. I hear that usually works! ;-)

Haha! Scathlocke has a script in his hand of comments to say! Could this comment be a part of Talon's lore? *Dramatic sound follows

Well, that's a relief to hear! Only a quick question, in case you can answer. Will they explain why his blades return to him once is tossed? Or is that just simply gameplay?

I really appreciate the comment, by the way!

That's likely a gameplay-only kind of thing. But never say never!

oh I always figured he and kat learned some kind of dagger related magic from kat's dad.

I imagine he could have very thin wires attached to his blades,so that he can pull them back after he threw them

Can you at least mention if there are hints of talon's lore update hidden within the current game patch in forms of special interactions? Similar to certain voice lines pointing to the fact ashe got her bow from somewhere else?

There are certainly hints in more recent lore updates outside of the game...

Looking at Katarina's and Swain's lore mostly. There we can see a bit more of General Du Couteau and that small note at the end...

"He would raise others in her place, simply to spite her. "

Can we safely assume Urgot's line upon executing Talon with his R hints towards the updated canon? p~~leaseplaseprettyplease~~

For those wondering, Urgot says "Obedient to the end" when executing Talon with his ultimate, suggesting Talon does everything Du Couteau asks him to.

My thoughts exactly. ~~ISNTITBEAUTIFUL~~

Could you say if those lore updates are on the maps, on champions themselves, or how recent they were? :P

DwarvenGiantSep 18, 20182 votes

You probably can't answer or confirm this, but... Safely-assuming that Talon is still Noxian, do you internally have updated concept art of his canon portrayal? Because his in-game aesthetic and shape language don't match that of Noxus.

I'm talking about anything similar to the concept art of Thresh, Hecarim or Jarvan IV (couldn't find it anymore for some reason) that appear in the map.

AndevarSep 14, 20182 votes

Any chance we can get an estimated time on that lore update? As Talon boys have been waiting for an awfully long time, personally for me, ever since Swain got his rework and the Noxus lore update.

It's not fun when a champ's entire faction is updated but your champ has no interactions with any other champ in that faction :c

I think that hints are hidden in Kled s remark to him. My guess is right?

GreenLoreSep 20, 20181 votes

Well we'll be seeing 1 or 2 more champs this year(its really unclear if chains will be released at the end of this one or early in the next one),so its possible that one of them will be related to Noxus.

Though I guess that the "colorful mage" is unlikely to be from there,so chains might be noxian.

Or they simply plan a standalone lore update for Talon,similar to Annies or that of Varus.

Yeah, totally agree. Either an unexpected standalone or a Champion.
