Talon Discussion Thread

[quote=Lugignaf][quote=KillaTheNinja] Next champ is him or Karthus. There's a lot of QQ on the LoL boards about him being OP, but the top tier players seem to think he's great but not OP. Don't wanna get him just so he can get hit with a nerf come next patch. I think he's fine myself...but my opinion doesn't match the LoL board. [/quote] Unless reds agree he's OP, he won't get nerfs for at least 2 patches. It was like that with Noct. He was easy to pick-n-play and that contributed to his OP status.[/quote]

Hopefully he'll be made free next week so I can try him out for myself.[/quote]

[quote=Atheb][quote=React] I find him to be the most balanced release champion to date... [/quote] imma let you finish but brand is the most balanced champ of all times. hm i dont have the fealing he is op. i think he is incredibly fun to play but not op. if you feast on your opponents big time well sure you melt them but thats with every champ[/quote]

Well he's certainly not OP, you're just very forced to build damage over anything to do your job well, so kudos to Riot for that one. Anyone found any kind of way to boost his survivability without sacrificing damage? (that's excluding Atmog as an option)[/quote]

[quote=Paleonx][quote=Caladar] Cool use for it is using it to interupt channeling spells (namely [[Fiddlesticks]]'s [[Crowstorm]]) Also most funny moments until now for me were -Popping my ulti and running through a full enemy team hiding in a brush to ambush, and then 2 shotting their fiddlesticks. My team cleaned the rest up behind me while I ran to safety. -Killing a godlike Katarina and Akali simultaneously with my ulti, while they were killing my tower. They were both at about 40%~50% hp. I don't know why, but I love running past people and having my blades do the damage, and then just pick up the assist while someone else more beefy gets the kill. [/quote] I do the same. Nothing better than popping ult, running through the enemy team to jump on the guy hiding in the back and watch the people behind you die as your team beats the hell out of them as the blades come through hitting them all.[/quote]

[/quote] They cry OP because they don't know how to build mercs and a banshee's veil...Well at least a Banshee's veil...Dumb people are dumb and make up a majority of any gaming community. Their lack of skill turns into ignorance towards champs they get stomped by on a regular basis. Which in turn becomes an outcry multiplied by trolls which THEN reaches Riot's ears....Brain sends a signal to their fingers and ban hammers fall. Unavoidable chain reaction, unless we were all equally skilled pros, profecient in all champions, with an inability to be corrupted......But we aren't :/[/quote]

That exempts focusing him! - Oracle's Elixer/Extract (most annoying thing to encounter imho) - Thornmail (Getting Q damage reflected) - Frozenheart - Silences (though a QSS also counters that)[/quote]

[quote=Pwnzor1130]I'm certainly enjoying talon a lot! His playstyle is just for me and I think I found a great build for him. I seem to always get focused so i'm forced to build quite a bit tanky, but with a full build i still have around 300 AD. I haven't really tried building him full DPS, but he's so squishy it doesn't seem like a good idea to me. QSS is always a must if they have exhaust or heavy CC, but if they don't I would build BT (exhaust seems popular in normals...).[/quote]
