I thought about Mp5, but if u lane against bruiser, dodge runez always work much better. And they are more useful lategame, ofc. But against smth like mordekaiser mp5 works much better, you are right.
So i recommend to have 2 comps of runes. To be rdy for a situation.

You could get mana regen runes for better laning.

Well, I like the build. Nicely done; a lot better than lolfullad builds.

And i saw that shushei picked talon solo top, but he uses to get a boot and 3 healpots :)

Thx for a comment :)
Frozen Mallet is a good decision, but he need trinity aswell to maximize his burst damage (u know, Q+Trinity proc make ap-carryz cry :))
But yep, he needs ALOT of survivability, or he s*cks.
And of course, u can try him solo top (if your teammates in soloq are not fools). He can stay on a lane greatly. I will try to play some gamez and then i will share the stats with you guyz.

I'm only summoner lvl 15 and I run around pubgames, but I must say this build works nicely. Or any that will help Talon take some damage as well, early on he is very squishy. Sometimes instead of trinity force I pick up a frozen mallet for health and additional damage and slow. I wont say nothing on the runes or masteries because I can't even get the greater runes and only half of the masteries.
I think with talon you will need to concentrate on attack damage and defence more than anything, and that's why this build works!

Feel free to comment guys, i'm trying to do my best :)
If u like this guide, i will continue testing Talon in ranked and so on :)
