Administrators Ikaru Posted August 18, 2013 Administrators Share Posted August 18, 2013 because Dynasty is boring even with a new danceI actually do like both Midnight and Foxfire so it was a really hard choice for me too- in the end it came down to deciding based on which one went on sale first. Midnight is cheaper now, by the way, and still looks pretty great so if you want that I say do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Desire Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I ended up getting midnight and it's so <33 but Dynasty is okay i guess but i saw someone use it and it kind of looks wierd in-game >><< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanco Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Meanwhile, just a heads up for those of you who are way too curious to see what the rotation has in store before NA announces it, the Koreans post it on their site at 1:30 PM EST (a.k.a just under an hour from the time of this post). What the rotation turned out to be: Rumble, Gragas, Nasus, Skarner, Viktor, Zyra, Sivir, Ezreal, Sona, Janna EDIT: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soysauce Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Riot is so evil, teasing us like this, release him already!! =p Eventhough EUW has lag/DC issues right now, can't farm up IP. :'( By the way, any Talon players here? Now that Zed got nerfed, and Ryze got his range nerfed, aside withTiamat being cheaper, i think he can be very very snowbally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanco Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 First champ I ever played was Talon. (I know I said Annie before but that was against bots.) I don't know about the snowbally part since he can fall off, and in my experiences will do so a fair amount, but at the same time I've erased a Lux's health bar before she could get anything off. Typical Talon mid game though. I don't play Talon as much anymore because I'be gotten a couple more fave AD mids (namely Jayce and Varus) but I should get back into playing as him, now that I've gotten used to smart casting.

Yuki Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I play him occasionally he has a sad case of Mid Game Fever though Early you have to play very safe (not too hard-- taking Katarina, Akali, or Kassadin mid is the same. Just don't die obviously) and manage your mana really well while waiting for ganks Mid game you dominate anything and everything Lategame people are grouped so you better hope they still have squishies, no oracles/pinks/reveals, and you have a frontlien that'll allow you to slip in unnoticed past the rest of the enemy team to blow somebody up (if you can get there, have the damage to do that, and they haven't build against you) and get out.

Soysauce Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 The difficult part of Talon in end game is to kill stuff without baiting his team or failing and dying in the process, imo. If he loses his lane he has to roam or coordinate with his jungler. If you can't kill mid, you kill someone else, hehe. However, after watching some games as Talon, i noticed some unusual builds, involving Tiamat, Mobos Boots, and Ghostblade which seem to work wayyyy better than a standard B Cleaver or Bloodthirster rush in mid game. When you get your LW and your BC on top of that, you melt everyone and deal close to true damage to squishies even in late game, on top with massive plays potential with ghostblade active+ult. When i get enough IP i'm going to try that, then test similar builds on other champs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuki Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 i'd say hydra/b of mobil/black cleaver are his core Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunaethetic Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Bloodthirster benefits him more in that it provides more damage than both items. It's generally not efficient to rush Black Cleaver anyways, as the Brut gives you enough stats for it to be necessary, and you can invest the gold you would have put into a Black Cleaver into something else (E.G. Hydra, LW, GA, etc.) Also, Youmuu's is actually a really underrated item for a lot of people. It's active is very useful, especially for somebody like Talon, specifically because it helps you chase, should your target get away low. That and you get a GP5 out of the deal, which can make your snowball even stronger. just saiyan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanco Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Personally for Talon, I rush Brutalizer and just leave it there for a bit (till I have 2 other major items sans boots) while I go buy other items, usually it's either (insert life steal item here), or Mercurial Scimitar if I'm facing a high-CC Mage like Malzahar. MoBoots are usually my secondary choice for boots if I'm looking for kills, otherwise I typically build Merc's Treads. Have I ever mentioned that I <3 Mercurial Scimitar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullet Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 5 Bloodthirster talon is easy way to faceroll for days. Maybe take out a Bloodthirster for a Last Whisper if they have enough armor... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soysauce Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Hmm, interesting, thanks for your answers. If only there was a version of Youmuu's Ghostblade without the crit chance, i feel like the gold is wasted and/or unreliable if you can't build other crit chance items. But it'd be the next overpowered item and blablabla nerfs. :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Ikaru Posted August 20, 2013 Administrators Share Posted August 20, 2013 Actually as I recall they're looking at it as an item... Or someone pitched that it needs to be changed for melee carries, at least, which is something I can get behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fush Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 Played first time Gragas in an aram, got a quadra and two triples, had a blast in more ways than one and ended with 29/16/16. We still lost. But the second I reach 3150 IP. the Rabble Rouser is mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanco Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Mash, If you've been paying attention to General Discussion (which I don't recommend), you'll know what sparked all that. Too much for me to go into here. In other news: I see what they did there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
