Talk:Talon/@comment-25427841-20140916155642

i dont think people comprehend how large of a part of his kit his silence is, literally if he doesnt have it he cant do jackshit against 90% of the champion he is supposed to kill, i agree he is very storng right now and needs a nerf, but a nerf to his e is unjustified, they will kill talon by doing that, he NEEDS that silence, and its only 1 second, i see the problem it raises, but for talon to be able to kill you, you need to have fed him or let him farm, so its YOUR fault, not his "op" silence, he has a weak laning phase, and amazing scaling, he needs that silence like i need air to live.

But that's not the biggest problem, he will get blown to shit if he tries to use his e on someone in a teamfight now, just some examples of what will happen when he jumps to an adc:

lucian dashes away, tristana shoots him away, vayne condemns him away, draven stand asides him, its the EXACT same with ap casters, they just cc him and he dies.

I understand that he offers little counterplay right now when your are alone in the jungle as a squishy without vision, but how is that because of his silence and not because of you getting caught out by his damage? by removing that silence you dont just offer counterplay against him, you remove the plays that HE can make in most situations.

I might be biased on the subject since he is my main champion and i have loved the crap out of him for about a year now and he was my ticket to diamond 2, but i STILL think it makes no sense removing his silence, its his core identity, he needs it to be viable, unlike leblanc and kassadin, i understand that a ranged spammable silence is very strong on people with that much mobility, cc and damage, but talon just has a small slow, with his silence he gets put a donger behind of his target, which is supposed to be near their teammates, and you get one second to execute your combo, i find that fair, people who are screaming op now that he is finally coming into play just dont know how to play against him.

he deserves a nerf, but nerfing any bursty champions that have a silence is not the solution, please riot.
