Talon Discussion Thread

[quote=DuffTime]Like I had previously imagined, people were getting way too focused on Talon's passive, and got tunnel vision into the Frozen Mallet idea. I suggested Trinity Force but now I'm reconsidering that, I think that those items are probably too expensive for talon. Also like I had previously imagined, Brutalizer seems to be far and away his best item. Last Whisper makes your damage pretty absurd, and upgrading into Youmuu's helps too, but you don't feel toooo useful in team fights unless you get really well farmed/fed... I'm trying to find ways around Talon's various issues, but it seems like there could never be enough armor pen in the whole word to make up for his apparent short comings. I can't decide whether or not I think he was well made as a champ. He's fun as hell when you do well, but he feels like Shaco does when you fall even a little bit behind; Useless. For once I think Riot succeeded in making a champion that simply cannot be built Off-tanky. From my experience I wouldn't even be inclined to try Tanky DPS, but I will update again later when I feel I have a better understanding. He's not really like anybody else, other than Shaco, but the play-style is totally different and unique.. o_O[/quote]

[quote=Taeradun]I'm now seeing [[Talon]] + [[Leona]] dual lane bottom... First Blood, here we go XD[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]I lost to that lane... It was brutal.[/quote]

[quote=React]I find him to be the most balanced release champion to date...[/quote]

[quote=UltimateHavok][quote=Taeradun] I'm now seeing [[Talon]] + [[Leona]] dual lane bottom... First Blood, here we go XD [/quote] I was on a team yesterday with Talon and Leona bot.. They got wrecked. We still won, even after Leona DC'd, somehow.. lol Can't remember who they were laning against though. And does anyone know what Talon's attacks scale with, AD or AP? And what the ratios are?[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Talon There's all the info about Talon that anyone knows.[/quote]

[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]

[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]
