Changing Talon's Passive "Mercy" to "Coup De Grace"
I mean, Talon serves General Du Couteau. "Couteau" means "knife" in French. "Coup de grâce" is French for "blow of mercy". I think that'd be a nice connection.

I always liked that it was called "Mercy" because it gives Talon more of a benevolent side to an otherwise malevolent character. It's fitting since you're putting people who are disabled/greatly disadvantaged out of their misery.
Coup de Grace is equally fitting, however.
Valve could sue for copyright violations. Because DOTA already has an ability called 'Coup de Grace'
I always thought that "Mercy" was supposed to be a bit of a sarcastic name, since Talon doesn't exactly show mercy.
If not this, then it should at least have its name expanded to Mercy Kill or something. Mercy on its own just sounds awkwardly ironic for a damage-amplifying ability.
Besides that, Cutthroat hasn't made much sense since they removed the silence.
assassins show mercy buy killing their targets faster. it fits not that some people are too slow to get it.
merci assassiner would be better since it means mercy murder which is close to mercy killing
In french Talon's passive is "Cruauté" so just "Cruelty", why not take the same ?
I feel like Talon could use a new passive in general, tbh.
Dota 2 pls
I think that they should just change it to "no mercy"
But that's not what "Coup de Grace" means... it means "Golpe de Gracia"/"Tiro de Gracia" which means "Strike of grace" , in literal terms you might be able to get "Blow of mercy" (WTF?) but what it actually means is "Finishing blow" which is more of Zed's passive than Talon's passive.
I think "Coup De Grace" is more akin to Fiora than Talon.
true
But Talon's not really a member of the family, he doesn't follow General DuCouteau because of status, he does so out of respect for the man, as soon as he's out of the picture, he's probably going to go back to being a regular cutthroat.
how about we also change it so it does 99% hp true dmg instead?
