@Riot, Talon needs a rework

I wanna talk about Talon right now. Does Riot care about him? He is by far one of the worst midlaners that gets completly manhandeled like a pleb by any ranged not-passive farming champ. The only thing he can do in lane is W (which is really small). He cannot AA or he gets 3-4 AAs and a spell or two on his face. Only thing he can do is W.

Why are other assasins lane monsters but Talon is such a weakling? Most ad assasins dont even have mana (see Rengar , Yasuo , Riven and Zed ).

Talon is completly fucked if he goes oom in lane whereas Zed can safely farm from a distance of 1k+ (with both w and q). So Zed can do all that but Talon has to use his only farming spell which doesnt even kill an entire wave and makes him push the lane. Anyone who is even slightly good at this game could completly starve him to complete uselessness.

You can't even kill your enemy when you hit 6. His Ulti is most times completly useless (enemies only get hit by 1-2 blades most times) and is used for escaping shit compared to Riven and Akali who just completly destroy everything on their path (note both are non mana users AND have escapes, one even has a stealth that lasts longer than talons stealth).

Your Q is also quite bad. Compared to Darius W it only does slightly more damage, but Darius slows with his W and has a longer range on it too.

His passive is nothing compared to other assasins' passives. Damn it, Zed passive can do 10% of someones max health as damage (thats a bork active guys).

I love Talon, but I agree that he's a little lack-luster right now. I'm sure they could find a way to get him up to par with the other assassins :)
