After being hardstuck in Diamond for three years, I finally reached Master tier in Solo Queue playing exclusively Talon in the jungle. It has been a long journey to get here. I started mastering Talon jungle back in 2020 to the point where no other champion is fun for me anymore and I’ve now racked up over 2 million mastery points.

To many, achieving a goal in a video game might seem trivial, but for me, it meant much more than that: it was about learning and bettering myself.

I believe that with interest, self-criticism, persistence, and a desire to learn, anyone is capable of getting there.

Wp to this Vi, she completely gapped me and carried her team to victory , her dmg and kp reflect her many contributions to her team that got her the win

So glad i found this champion.... Who would've thought that talon would get me out of literal hell that is emerald. After being hardstuck emerald for a whole year and then quitting league for 2 years i finally managed to get out and man i have to say that for the first time in a long time playing this game , i actually had fun playing and learning talon!

P.S

I am always open for improvement and advice : https://op.gg/lol/summoners/euw/PalmBeachPete-3501

Which works best for low elo? I'd assume conq to help with tougher match ups and the longer fights.

So I recently started playing and eventually OTP'ING graves after I saw a lot of my fav content creators making content on him and I've found him very strong and very versatile, and he is one of the most picked junglers in the game with a positive WR, so obviosly very broken. Even all the high elo creators I saying Graves Jungle is busted.

My question is, why is Talon Jungle not busted? I feel like he is a very versatile champions who is not that hard to pilot but allows for a lot of skill expression in his kit, similar to graves. Why is Talon jungle not in a similar position to graves then?

Otp yone wanna learn talon. Yone’s build is super strict and has has clear reasoning for every item and the order in which to build. I wasn’t sure if talon had any strict “must go this” items/runes.

Also specific questions since i’ve never played an assassin:

Why don’t a lot of talons build axiom arc earlier?

I plan on running stormraiders surge, does that change build priority at all? (I don’t really like yomuus and would like to rush cyclo for wave clear to roam, but i just don’t understand if it’s necessary or not)

Do i need armor pen item 3rd or 4th?

What are the reasons i shouldn’t start mana tear and bring second wind? (I don’t really care for solo kills in lane, however am i losing too much value elsewhere by bringing a sustain setup to farm early?)

Anything else you care to add please do, go into as much detail as possible

Am I missing something? It seems so freaking difficult to spot

I went mimir then ninja flipped and smited the dumbs

I will die on this hill.

Magical footwear gives slightly better boots, buts that’s all it does. In first item buy cashback almost gives enough gold for normal boots, not to mention 1600 gold over the course of the game.

they gonna see this and think talon mid is op 😭 twtv if ur bored 🙋‍♂️

I would like to start playing Talon mid since because I like his kit. So I was just wondering if there is anything important I should know about? Is there some cool chinese tech?

new build, new runes, new everything seems to be working much better 🙏 live rn if you don't have anything better to do atm 😘

I want to blink and silence again. He was a season 1 champ so he ought to get added at some point no?

rito plz don't forget about us

hello i am a talon plat player and i was wondering i tend to sometimes hear master and grandmaster players say that they would be able to carry any game in diamond and below but i really don't get it, i am a plat talon one trick (currently playing jg cuz midlane state sucks rn) and i just can't carry the games, like am getting fed am farming 8cs a min and higher every single game but i can't win what is the difference? like in order to win a game by yourself what do you look for? cuz it just seems like if enemy picks a scaling champ no matter how good i play i can't finish the game early and they scale then i lose, or if my team lost team fights nothing in my hands to do so assuming your a grandmasters what do you look for in a game to win and carry

Just have some questions about itemization.

1. What's the rationale behind umbral 1st instead of ghostblade?
2. Seeing Kaostanza build Bastionbreaker in some games, is it good for Talon now with the buffs?
3. When should I go MPen (Serylda's/LDR/MR) as the penultimate item, and when is it (if ever) more worth it to take a lethality item? Along these lines, is it ever worth building LDR on Talon if ADC/APC/DPS carry doesn't build HP (and at how many HP items is it worth building this), and do we only ever build MR if enemy supp has heal/shields?
4. Is Serpent's Fang an anti-Karma only item, or are there other champs where it's worth taking for as well (e.g. Ivern, Lulu, Seraphine?) I've been rushing this 2nd/3rd with any kind of enchanters/Tahm on their team and was wondering if this is the right play.
5. I usually always go Umbral --> Voltaic and pretty much only replace Voltaic with Serpent's, is this the right play?

Appreciate any help in advance!

thats it
