Can we use a critical build for talon? Can you recommend a few items which would go nice when going with that in mind, I usually go with the normal talon build you recommend and take an infinity edge in the end

Crit is definitely not viable on Talon unfortunately, it being far more expensive than lethality makes it completely unviable in comparison.

Me gusta en la manera fácil que en la que desarrollas las Runas y Builds, es muy entendible, gracias.

Great guide as usual. Keep doing a great job Vapora.

amazing!!!

Did you replace edge of night with mortal reminder? If so, why?
Great work by the way. I am pretty new to the game and I have been melting people with this setup.

Also, I found myself switching from boots of mobility to ionian boots of lucitidy for the extra cooldown reduction, combined with the ultimate hat rune, and all of your recommended items. This way the R ultimate cooldown is so low, I find myself Ulting against every enemy very very often. What do you think?

No, I've never had Edge of Night in the example full build.

Not worth it, you cap out on CDR very quickly since your first 3 core items all give CDR and single-handedly add up to 40%, and even if you didn't cap on CDR the movement speed from mobis is extremely good for roaming and just generally getting around the map quicker.

I found this really useful as a new talon player.Thanks!

Thanks a lot!

Very well written guide. I don't consider myself a Talon main but when I play him I typically will dominate the game. This build did teach me about that fast combo (I need to try that immediately) and gave me more ideas to build for that possible late-game "so now what?" stage that might occur in some of my games.

Hey friendo, glad to see you were and still are the authority on Talon since I started playing. With the assassin rework coming up, are you nervous or excited for changes? It's hard to say what direction they'll go in, but it's very unlikely he'll keep the blindlingly fast kills he has today.

My guess is that they'll do something similar to how I originally interpreted his R. Each blade deals it's own damage, and you'd position to make as many pass through the team/your target. That's just guesswork though, how do you feel about it?

I don't play much anymore these days, so honestly I'm not too bothered.

However I strongly dislike the concept of reworks and if I were still an avid enthusiast, I would be sad about whatever changes are to come, unless the changes are minimal (unlikely).

Many reworks are basically removing one champion from the game, while adding a new one, with a similar theme to the old one and sometimes similar spells, for example . And of course I wouldn't want my main champion removed. =/

I have no idea what they intend to do to except that they want him to have less AoE and less instant burst. AKA remove everything that makes , .

But at the very least it probably means he'll get better mobility in return.

I think if you main a champion, reworks are almost never something to be excited about. :(

That's pretty much what happened with Vlad to an extent, and he's been my main since the beginning. With a side of Talon and Aatrox as my other favorites. The only way I could see the talon rework being good is if they preserve his function. Which is to reliably kill off a main and secondary target when he's played well. Maybe we lose the AoE damage, but if the results are the same outside of getting instant quadras off Rake+R then I could be happy with that.

PS: Since you're all Talon'd out, what do you play these days? both champions and other non league games?

Some of my favourite champions right now are , , , , and (very new) .

Also since I don't play ranked (except on smurfs) much these days I play a lot of random stuff too rather than just my favourite champions. I'm not quite as good as when I was at the peak of my Talon OTPness but I can play a much wider variety of stuff now.

I don't really play any other non-league games, most other games bore me pretty fast. I don't get the Overwatch hype. :>

I definitely had more fun with TF2 than I did with Overwatch. Not as many voice clips, Maps aren't as varied, and you don't get to be having a secret war in the sewers with one particular person on the other team. Unfortunately the TF2 hayday is pretty much over.

Sorry to hear you haven't found much else you enjoyed though :x I know how it is with league and competitive games. It's hard to find something comparable that you can just dive right into.
