Jungle Talon Theorycraft

[quote=Xenasis]I've not tried Talon myself, but after watching Stonewall's jungle video with him, he reminds me of a Master Yi, all offence with no passive defence/heal. What I did think, though, is that a strong leash on level 1 red would be excellent for him. If you have someone with a stun mid, it could be an easy level 2 first blood! His kit seems pretty awesome gank wise, kind of like Shaco, but not Shaco. Taking either Q or W first (I'd imagine Q, or W if it slows - which iirc it does) then E at level 2 would result in potent ganks. I doubt he's really viable outside of the jungle, since solotop is a mage/off tank, but yeah, I really thing he'll make a strong ganking jungler, like Shaco, but more viable! So, thoughts on red buff start Talon?[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]His jungle is worse than Shen's. He easily dominates lanes. No reason to not put him there.[/quote]

[quote=Wintermond]All Talon's on streams and in my games I saw pretty much raped their lanes, he's a really strong solo laner duo bot and solo top. Idk about his jungle, but I wouldn't put ihm there. Maybe when people are more experience with him in general. :\[/quote]

[quote=theBMB]I was thinking about jungling with him, but since he would start with red, he likely would not have it when he ganks, which is when he really needs it. Besides I think he's best played for his AD burst, and as such doesn't really fit in the jungle.[/quote]

[quote=killmanmaxi]you can play him so or so ... he is just another ADchamp .. and easy to play nothing new-.. but nice combiend[/quote]

[/quote] Though he does do good in a lane, that doesn't stop champions such as Udyr, Warwick, GP, Jarvan, Lee Sin, etc, from jungling[/quote]

My friend says he bought him and rapes with him but idk haven't seen it yet.

[/quote] The person who mentioned that also mentioned a level 2 gank, so that would be an almost immediate gank, and a not as expected one. So he would infact have red if ganking that early.[/quote]

[quote=Xenasis]Yup, Shaco starts at red and if it's a good Shaco, it isn't wasted.[/quote]
