I am buying one of these two champions, and I have played each on their freeweeks a little. Both of them seem to be more useful than last year, but which is the better combination of fun and effective? I am tired of using zed for mid lane AD, and khazix isnt as good since the nerfs, but I main jungle.
Talon is very fun, if difficult to play.
Since Mao's update I think he's fun as heck, since his Ult is actually useful. I play him top though, haven't tried him in the new jg.
Maokai is OUTSTANDING in the new jungle, one of my two mains.
Maokai is one of my two mains too (Zyra is the other, hence my username). He is worth the buy. Talon on the other hand was pretty potent before his small rework. They took away his Silence and gave him a 99% slow that goes away in 1 second which is quite POINTLESS. It's also laughable that its still named cutthroat yet somehow it slows instead of silencing. Go figure. He's ok but Maokai is in a better place right now.
imo, maokai wasnt very fun.. idk his skills have no flow.... throw babies, ground pound, root someone, his ult damage reduction toggle ehh they arent weak or bad abilities but they arent exactly fun to use imho Talon looks abit more fun Both maokai and talon are effective, but I'd pick talon cuz of the fun factor that maokai didnt have for me
Maokai is a safer pick. As Talon you can fail in lane and end up not really being able to assassinate anybody until way too late. Maokai's ult is a godsend for teamfighting, and he's got great CC. He doesn't need any items to be useful; the ult is monstrous, just have your ADC stand inside it. I've carried with him from top, jungle, and support. Maybe biased because I'm not really the assassin type player anyway.
