To me, they hit Talon way too hard when they removed the silence. I understand why his silence was op, but damn, the new slow just isn't cutting it. .25 seconds is sometimes not even enough to get off an autoattack. There's a delay right after he uses his E that stops him from taking any actions, and it's near .25 seconds. By that time, the enemy can react, and dodge everything he sends at them, and then kill him. He needed counter-play. Now ANYONE can counter-play him simply by using their cc as soon as he jumps them, and they won't use it until he jumps them. He won't jump them until they use it, so it just becomes a stale-mate until one of them gets ballsy, and then Talon dies. The only reason I can do well with him is because I've played him so much that I know when I can and can't kill someone, and the people I play against are absolutely terrible. Also, with the rise of Diana and Morde mid, Talon is becoming even more and more and more useless. I still love him, and I still think he's the best out of the 3 AD mids, but damn he's useless in this current meta. I'm still going to play him though, because even when I'm losing, I still enjoy him.
I think they should make his E reset if he gets a kill or assist, allowing him to actually have some more presence in a teamfight. Let's just hope they don't make Cutthroat a skill-shot like everything else :| I think he could use a little bit lower mana cost on his W, and a bit higher base damage, just to give him a little bit more damage to make up for the silence removal, and to give him a little more lane presence. I don't really know what they can do with him now though. He's kinda gibbed. If they buff him, he becomes super overpowered, and they can't nerf him because he's already pretty weak. They can't change any of his abilities, because they all run in succession, so if you change one, you more or less have to change them all. His ult could use a little work too, now that I think of it.
Talon will always be my favorite though. Maybe not my best, but my favorite.
Oh and they finally buffed Aatrox! PEOPLE GET TO STAND OVER MY PASSIVE BODY EVEN MORE NOW! THANKS RITO. LOVE YA. Honestly, this "buff" hurts him more than anything else, because people will stand right over your body and watch you until you come back up and then kill you instantly. They do it with every revive passive. Revive passives are, in all honesty, worthless. They are easily countered by simply standing over the player or destroying whatever it is that they have to destroy to stop you from coming back. This is especially worse for Aatrox, as he comes back with 0 blood in his well, and usually under half health, so he can't even fight back as soon as he comes back up. If Zac is allowed back up, he can instantly get to fighting. If Anivia is allowed back up she'll probably be killed instantly again, but she can at least fight back. Aatrox really can't. He won't have to attack speed to get his health back up in the fight, and he won't have to the health to really withstand their attacks long enough.
What do you mean release Rengar wasn't fun o_O The people who played thought it was fun ;)
