This guide isn't worth being where it is now since nearly all of your positive votes are some accounts created by you to upvote...
I can't even imagine how this will get in top 10 else...

Even if taking Frozen Mallet is wrong, you take it att the end and it won't do much that late in the game and the Maw of Malmortius is good only if you take too much MD.

Sorry that I downvote but Trinity Force and Frozen Mallet are worst items to build on Talon.

Meh. I would disagree that items to avoid are survivability items. I usually stack 2 Doran's Blades after my boots and then a The Brutalizer. I take a Guardian Angel as a last item to round off Talon's survivability in a teamfight. I don't bother with Infinity Edge, since it's crit hit only works with No Mercy and basic attacks. A second Bloodthirster seems more beneficial to me. I can still see why you'd take it, though.

I would take Trinity Force over Frozen Mallet too. Actually, that's a lie, I never take Tri-Force. >.< I've never ever managed to get a full build on Talon. Hence, I only get to go (at most) 2 Bloodthirsters, Guardian Angel, Last Whisper and Ionian Boots of Lucidity or Mercury's Treads.

I sometimes grab a Zeal, though, but I never really get to decide what to build it into. Phantom Dancer for that manoeuvrability? Or Trinity Force for that Shen proc, Phage and Zeal all around buff? Other times, I might be able to grab a Catalyst the Protector to build into a Banshee's Veil.

Walls of text and little coding have already been mentioned.

You don't explain your Masteries or your Runes. You just really make a brief note to say 'they're good' and leave it at that. You don't reason as to why they're good.

You don't really explain how to gank. You don't really want to arrive late to a fight either. Sometimes, Talon is a good initiator because he can jump in and then run out without much difficulty.

Tanks are not Talon's weakness. Tanks are not anyone's weakness. The burst doesn't kill them, but you do comparatively more damage to them than they do to you because of your huge AD and ArmPen. They have masses of health, and defense, but not usually offensive power (there are quite a few exceptions to this, though). Talon's weakness is in CC, as with any other squishy. In your build, his weakness is also in the lack of armour or magic resist except through Runes, usually solveable through just buying a Guardian Angel.

And KS is bad... Just one person getting fed isn't always enough to win a game. I have seen Darius go 24/7/3 and still lose. He got a lot of the kills, but because he didn't distribute them with his team, my team overwhelmed them in a team fight and easily won. Overall, Darius accounted for about 1/3 - 3/5 of the kills in-game but still lost. KS in a team game is also bad for morale. And let me tell you something, you don't 'suffer from being called a ks-er' because there's a very easy remedy for it - don't ks. All that so-called griping is self-inflicted, mate. That 'All kills are Talon's' attitude is so broken and doesn't do well for team play. I've seen people go afk or feed for less.

And Talon is good jungle. He has strong ganks, good invade potential and a decent jungle clear. I don't know what you are talking about.

This isn't the best guide I've seen. It's not massively bad, but kinda needs work, particularly in the layout part. I won't downvote it, but I do think the massive upsurge in upvotes on page 2 is suspicious.

Trinity Force is always better with talon than the frozen malet. You say that with frozen malet you allways trigge mercy but with Trinity Force you have a 25% of do it and you have the bonus damage of Sheen so its more worst it do Trinity Force also because it gives almost everyting like HP, mana, critical chance, movement speed, that talon also needs.

I peeked in to see what the views and votes were all about, turns out it is exactly as BlackIceT said it. It has been inflated extremely for no reason. The guide has no BBC coding, and looks aesthetically terrible. Item wise - although it seems viable, the Mallet is unnecessary. You should be able to burst the enemy down, then get out afterwards. Damage>Sustain in this case.

Simply what BlackIceT said, is what I would of put if he hadn't already. The writing in this guide is also unprofessional, especially the title.

You skip over details such as runes, or weaknesses, and you don't explain in detail HOW to gank, rather you repetitively state to avoid ganking with your ult, which says very little about his gameplay.

A -1 vote, but I'll gladly change it to a +1 if you fix the guide up.
