HI:D so i have just recently gotten back into league after a 2 yr hiatus (I know right?) My favourite character is quinn i used to play her adc but now i am starting top, my sister is trying to start talon, she is used to melee like riven but seems to be having a hard time with an assassin like talon, any tips? I have been laning top with her in bot games Quinn and Talon but i think we might be better soloing a lane what do you think? (Im asking you this just cause you seem to know things)
Hey! ; v ;Ahh Talon is a lot of fun to play, and I’m glad to hear your sis is trying him. He’s not too hard to play, you just have to be careful when playing him because he has no proper escape and if he gets cc’d he goes down hard. He’s pretty different from Riven, since he doesn’t have the health that she has and he’s super squish. But his burst is a-m-a-z-i-n-g!Talon is very good mid, thats where I play him. I don’t really like playing him top tho. During his laning phase, you should start with your Q -which is rake-. It allows you to poke down your enemy and get some distant creep kills that you might not be able to reach with your auto attacks. As for starting items, I always start with a long sword and 3 pots. A lot of people give me shit for it, but it works out in the long run. Because on your first back, depending how much gold you have, you should get a brutalizer. (it’s 977 on your first back because of the long sword you started with.) Your next item to rush is Tiamat. With these two items you’ll start bursting down your opponent and only become stronger.Lets see.. Max out your rake first (w). It does a lot of damage, and it gives you a nice slow too. Next max out your Q, then your E, and your ult whenever you can. Once you have one skill point in all your skills, you can practice his burst combo. For me its, E, R, W, Q. I don’t know if that’s the proper combo, but it works really well for me. As soon as you flash to your enemy with E, use your R, it startles them and if they aren’t quick enough with their flash you can kill them in an instant with your other skills. His ult is also a decent escape for when the jungler comes in. So if you need that extra run away, use it, cause his ult is like a 60 sec cooldown anyway.Uhm, as for counters, Kayle is his number one. Watch out for her. Theres also Hiemerdinger who’s annoying to play against, he’s not impossible, just annoying. And Vlad sucks to lane against too.These are just a few quick tips on how I play Talon, it might not be the right way, but it works well for me ; v ;She could also look up some guides for masteries and runes if shes serious about playing Talon.  I hope this helps in some way ; 3 ; / Good luck!Â
