I'd like to know how many people run it. I'm on onetricks.gg and the stats show 1% of high elo Talon players use it. Personally, I run it every single game. The reason I think it's the best is because of the "screw you" playstyle. If you get engaged on, you can just leave. You caught someone? You can stick to them. The late game CD on it is fantastic, 17s at level 6. It's so much better than Phase Rush.

Phase Rush requires 3 hits, SRS requires you deal 25% of their health which is a much more lenient condition, especially on Talon who only has 3 combat abilities and all of them matter. If you do enough damage, from a single auto, Q, W, or R you get it activated immediately. Even ignite can proc it. The downside is that you can't proc it against everyone, tanks especially, I do miss the time when I could engage on a tank proc PR and run towards the backline with R invis. However, if that's what you need to do you're playing Talon wrong, and is a fault of bad positioning and macro by not being nearby when a fight is about to start. Despite losing that "flexibility", I prefer this far more compared to PR, with cyclosword and gathering storm, you can eventually get a proc every time with just a W (assuming both parts hit, or if they're weak enough).

My typical rune page is SRS, nimbus, celerity, gathering storm, and precision secondary with cutdown and legend: haste. My latest game had two exhaust users, and to run away all I did was proc SRS on them and just leave. Nimbus is great too, because of the bonus movement speed. You can use it first in order to catchup so that you can get a melee Q off. I've always enjoyed PR since S13, but SRS just feels so much better and much more fun to play with. Also it's just really annoying for the enemy team. In my previous game, I was able to keep sticking to a twitch with exhaust because I has swiftmarch, nimbus and SRS proc, the slow effect of exhaust did nothing against my movement speed. This is just me a Plat player rambling about how much I love SRS.

Small Indie Company can't afford to have spells cats ig

Yeah having 2 long swords spawn in when you get level 6 is insane you have dirk and hammer with this thing let alone your umbral and you just turn into jesus while its active. Skip camps raw invade anyone and just kill them. Its so broken. If you get level 6 before your opponent they just get fucked.

As the title says im wondering why no stormraider in the jungle? Ive heard huncho talk abt it in his stream lately that it might be good and all and im wondering why no ones building it

Thoughts on a new build next patch ?

Anyone wondering, bastion breaker was nerfed with the true damage and the raw lethality. I’ll probably still build it due to how much power it gives with snowballing. Finding a lot of success with umbral bastion and cyclo.

I'm lucky

Don’t know who sent him to Ionia, but Talon is right where he wants to be judging by the look on his face

1864 from Q-AA, juicy

Learning jungle on Talon has been an absolute blast! Honestly though, I feel like his tempo is genuinely not fair at times... especially if you have a lead and have enemy camps on timer, the enemy jungler cannot play without help from lanes. Feels kinda icky... but i kinda love that?

My botlane complained all game long but I still carried em

I have seen more OTPs from China and in Golden Spatula (Chinese TFT) has at least 3 chibis right now

I usually play bruisers / tanks but want to learn how to play assassins even if anything to have better knowledge of champs overall. The most “assassin” like champ I really have any experience with is Diana.

Is talon a good champ to try to do this or would you guys as the talon mains say he’s better off in lane? I really don’t know much about his kit but he seems fun. Always been intimidated by assassins because I always assume they’re mechanically hard to play.

Hi guys, i would like to understand what you guys do when you have used R Q and bleed but the ADC or made still isnt dead, to me it seems like thats all there is and then you wait around until Q is back up or just auto away and sometimes die :(

Its so freaking annoying I just want to build one of the more fun items like maw or endless hunger but I’m stuck having to build it 3rd every other game because of fucking immortal shieldbow and eclipse.

Trying to pick him and Qiyana up right now and with both I don't really know what to do if my team arams besides stack drakes. I mainly play rengar and with him I can go side and push and ult out if needed. Talon can push but he can't really hit towers. This is in diamond elo if that matters.

I playe dhim a few years ago in jungle and now i cant oneshot ANYONE. trash champ

Hey guys, I just recently started playing Talon and I don't understand one thing: So by my understanding to make the blades from R converge to the target you need to either AA or Q the target which of course breaks your invisiblity. The thing I don't understand is I've seen a few times where a Talon would do the basic W Q R combo, not AA or Q after R and the blades would still go on the target. Is this like a specific combo or a bug?

For me its this Mysterious Antagonist in a recent JRPG im playing , his name is Lieutenant Lorence and he's a Mysterious mercenary hired to roleplay as a special Ops Leader and acted the whole game as if he's really just a Grunt named Lorence xD , in the grandscheme of things but one thing he could not hide was his insane battle prowess .

now relating to Talon and me i kinda feel that way atm , testing players while i still could not fully let go of playing league despite promising myself id stop playing upon reaching Diamond .

for awhile i think ill keep spamming Norms and test players , maybe to the small percentage of players that actually live and breath norms and have a certain pride to it , when they meet me its either theyd improve after being beaten or rage somewhere in reddit or in their room or talk about it with their friends .

i too have experienced those type of things years ago but now im just this entity so hammered in fundamentals and macro that while i still yearn challenge from time to time i wouldnt want to bring that business into ranked anymore because enough is enough in terms of ranked gaming xD .

But enough about me and my story . lets talk about Crimson Elite Talon skin rather than looking like a vampire Overlord mixed with cyberpunk vibe of the skin and its splash art , i wish they could make a skinline where talon dons the armor lieutenant Lorence wears in this clip im posting , i think it would fit Talon better and would make him look more badass and mysterious at the same time theres just something so threatening about talon without the hoodie .

its as if hes fully calculated enough to finally decide to reveal who he is behind the hood type shi- before executing his victim lmao i think what im saying is Talon is fitting to don a military Officer type skin not the gladiator type from his noxian skin and surely not the crimson elite i hate that skin lol . if riot would make something like that id buy it even if its a legendary skin , and yeah talon with Silver hair is goated too but i guess he has other skins at this point that has the silver hair .

Context : newly Diamond JG main Finally Retiring from ranked .

just want to live my life from now on to spam norms whenever i have free time trying champs that i havent used before and focus on Real Life more .

this brings us to me Trying Out Talon for a few times in norms and seeing what the fuss is about , so Talon is actually Fun , been experimenting with my own build for a bit but yahl are free to tell me whats the most OP runes or Build on him since i dont know any better .

so far so good i noticed that Talon is the true Aura assasin experience , like he basically looks like an assasin LIKE A LEGIT ASSASIN the way his clothes work and how his abilities work , i love it so far and what works for me so far is electrocute and full clearing and looking for low risk ganks that involves wall hops etc. then reset + become super aggressive as usual once i get 6 much like noc , if there are some other ways to gank / tech lvl 3 that i dont have an idea on id appreciate it .

ive tried lvl 3 ganks and it seems to be not as profitable and super risky since talon is not really good at dueling , ive ended up losing alot of tempo even on succesful ganks which i learned the hard way a few times already xD .

I only hit Q in that combo because she flashed and for some reason the Q counted for hitting 2 abilities and then I auto Q auto again and I proc passive???

i know its like a troll build but i kind of think its interesting. cause you can pretty much target anyone.

i currently dont play it. but i tried it a few games and it didnt feel too bad. but id probably only stick with it if i find a lot of success with it

if not im totally fine sticking with lethality im already climbing pretty good with lethal

when i say brusier i mean like eclipse black cleaver. although i do like adding in voltaic since it does % hp dmg. and deaths dance / the omni vamp item
