best talon, nothing to say

I really enjoyed the guide! Plenty of useful knowledge, unlike your degen stream where you do nothing but cry to your chat.

Talon so bad eww jk

TY FOR THAT

bald and broke

Hey yami, I think you need to change the lethality build with the changes patch 11.5 have brought. An page with + is ridiculously strong right now and would be worth looking into.

I believe he is going to because he used the build in his most recent video so I'm guessing to expect a update to this page solely because of the buff

Best guide ever

I know you've been experimenting with Galeforce and Prowler's lately, and I'd love to see them in this guide to better understand when/why I would buy them. I know that Goredrinker is the better option into a very melee/close range heavy comp, because those enemies will try to get close to you just as much if not more than you'll be trying to get close to them.
Also as a btw, I've been wanting to try out building Serpent's fang earlier against Yasuo and Yone, like possibly 2nd or 3rd item. They're always building Shieldbow, and that item is really good at turning a fight. I don't know if you've already been doing this, but I just haven't happened to go against a Yasuo or Yone since I thought of doing this so I wanted to put the idea out there.

I won, thank you!

Very helpful guide

Is Galeforce worth getting at all on talon?

How do I counter a Yasuo wall? Every time I try to engage with W or R, all my knives get disabled by his simple one ability. I can't just wait until he uses it and then engage because once he puts it, he starts playing more defensive. Please help me since I can't ban both Ahri and Yasuo :)

Only put one point in w and then max out q. This will ensure the most damage to Yas without his windwall blocking anything. Most Yasuos will windwall your w, so after he does that you are free to trade with your r. It's also really had to hit Yasuo with his infinite dashes, so its better to trade with maxed Q. IMO its better to bring conqueror and then just out sustain and out damage him. Try to proc conq as fast as possible or ask for a gank from your jungle. Hope this helped. Your welcome!

Hi Yamikaze!

I was wondering about playing jungle? I've tried a couple games of it and it seems to be doing pretty well right now. If you did play this, what runes and items would you take? I tried to normal mid things and they seemed to work pretty well. Your thoughts?

Amazing guide, love the content!

Hi, I'm not Yami or anything but I've experimented with Talon jungle in around Gold-ish elo. Talon jungle is a very situational pick and has little to no value at all in the jungle. While you CAN 1v1 the enemy jungle, jungle skirmishes are usually 2v2's or even 3v3's, and without a lead, it's hard to take these fights. Talon's jungle clear is VERY bad. When doing a full clear red side, you'll end up with sub 25% hp at 3:30 which is nothing compared to other junglers' clears (Fiddle, Olaf, Nunu, Kayn, etc.) Even Red Blue Gromp is a horrible clear, with you ending the clear with around 50% hp, while still somehow being late/right on time for scuttle. Talon's glory comes from his solo kill potential at levels 2 and 3, but in the jungle, you don't HAVE a constant opponent to look to kill. Taking drakes are horrendous, same with rift herald. You don't have built-in lifesteal and your ganks are also very weak, considering that you only have a slow in your kit, which is hard to hit even. That means that your only viable gank plays would be with flash or with r, at level 6. Since Talon has horrible clear, you cant power farm. You are also forced to bring electrocute because you simply don't have long enough time to proc conqueror to make it useful. While the idea of hopping every wall in sight is a beauty, Talon just is not cut out to jungle against other high tier junglers (Hecarim, Volibear, Evelynn).

I hope this has helped! Thanks for reading.
