To everyone playing Talon that uses his ultimate to engage:

So, Talon is free this weak and I see many people playing him that use his ultimate to get close and then use the combo. Here's what I have to say: TALON IS NOT A FUCKING RENGAR. His ultimate is part of his combo, and if you use it to sneak up before using your E to close the gap, you're doing it wrong, the damage from the ultimate if freackin high and you shouldn't expect to kill someone in 1 combo if you use shadow assault like you would use Rengar's ultimate or Shaco's Q. Even if you're fed enough to kill without the ultimate, you should save it for escaping. As a Talon main seeing people do this makes me sick.

Of course there are situations where it's better to use shadow assault first (if you want to kill an adc who's in the middle of his team for example), but when I see you ALWAYS using the ultimate first, I just want to cry

agreed. it's SUCH an excellent escape tool even if you don't need the damage, and it even applies BC (assuming ppl still build that) to the entire enemy team

Yeah, but beginners playing him for the first time keep using his ult like if he was rengar and flame me when I try to tell them they're wrong

Depends on the type of players you are playing against. Bronze-gold you can just run up E and kill the target and ulti out. Anything higher you will instantly get CC'd before you can R. High level talon players do what you tell them not to do all the time.

Shhhhh.....don't correct the bad Talon players. I like bad AD Assassins jumping into my team with no escape.

Talon item 3142 summoner 6 item 3031 item 3117 most fun shit ever. Find a lone enemy, pop your ult far away, use ghostblade and ghost, and proceed to run at them like a kenyan. Crit for 1.7k damage with your q. Its hilarious to do on the enemy adc farming by themselves bot lane.

I used to target an enemy with E from the fog of war and press flash for a long range blink. For some reason, flash targeted abilties doesn't work anymore, probably a bug (or balance change)

Sometimes you can't go in another way, because they will escape (Tristana) then I go in with ult popped and rely on my teammates to do the damage I lack to kill them. Also you can do that if the enemy is weak and you just want that ash.

As said, there's some situations when is good to use ult first, but i'm correcting people who actually think his ult is supposed to be used like that all the time, even when they're in range for E

I heard that Talon's ult used to do same damage if used before jumping onto people, but then they removed it. I bet those were the days..
