This build is a bit too mainstream for me.
When i read the title i fought i'll meet something new but this is the basic template for talon without Frozen mallet and with Triforce
-1...sry


Hell-0 Guys! +rep me if you think my Opinion was useful or i was sarcastic/Tr0ll enough ;)

I cannot see how this is not a Glasscannont build. around .. 400 more HP, and .. Way less damage. Change the intro, please.



I hate how people are willing to judge without actually trying things out for themselves.
If you tried this build, you would know.
The mallet gives you a nice lot of HP, and the GA gives you a large defensive boost.

As for the tri-force, yes it has some nice attributes but I've found that this build works better than a tri. Seriously, if you say "it's missing this" "it won't work" without trying it, then you.


Just try the build before you go ahead and try to judge it.

He wasn't saying it doesn't work. He's saying it's not a new approach, because it's the same way Talon's always built with one or two items different.

It was an unfair vote, because the build does work, but nothing you can do about it unfortunately.

It's a good build though. I didn't read most of the guide because I cba, but the intro and Pros/Cons section was good enough, so I'm sure the rest of the guide was just as good.

Quoted:
Mercy: This is an amazing passive. Mercy + Cutthroat + Rake + Noxian Diplomacy + Shadow Assault = insane amounts of damage. It also procs off your allies abilities or exhaust. If the enemy is exhausted/slowed/stunned or cc'd in any way and you throw your combo at him, they're very lucky if they live.

Why is Mercy an "amazing" passive for him? In this combo it only increases the initial damage of Noxian Diplomacy by 10%.

Mercy is actually no "amazing" passive at all, since it only increases the auto attack damage, which is quite lame on Talon - an AD-caster with slow attack speed.

It would be way better if his passiv was something like "additional armor penetration against bleeding enemies with his abilities" since Rake and Shadow Assault always have to penetrate the enemy's armor twice.

If you had read the guide, you would know that it's not a glasscannon build.
There is plenty of Ad/survivability ratio.

You'll pump out more damage with this build than with a glass cannon build even if getting focused. I guarantee it.

Uhh, I doubt that. If there was a way to build a tanky Talon while also having more damage than a glass cannon Talon then there wouldn't be glass cannon Talons, would there? ;)

I'm afraid I agree with Safari here, you don't take quite enough AD. You use up two item slots on defensive items when Talon can function perfectly well with little-to-no survivability. I usually reserve one item slot for a survivability item, but any more is just unnecessary. Some games I just skip my defensive item and rush more AD and I still do fine.
