Kayn and Talon Inconsistency

Talon and Kayn, both assassins

Talon can jump over terrain every 160 secs eraly game Kayn can traverse longer terrain every 20 secs early and gets a heal from it

Now Talon has the advantage that he can jump consecutevly through multiple patches of terrain; Kayn depending on the terrain structure one or two.

While I think early terrain spam jumps should be kept short so that Talon is gankable, after seeing how Kayn is being balanced it seems unecessarily long to have Talons jumps start at 160 secs, specially since he will probably max E last. I pressume having it start at 60 and decay to around 30 late game while maybe increasing internal recast time to say, 1-1.5 secs would be fair (again E gets maxed last)

Otherwise I see no reason to pick talon as Kayn is just a better assassin that does things better than Talon does (invulnerability>invisibility) (AOE cc and damage>AOE damage) Traverses larger portions of Terrrain

The only advantage I see Talon having is he would probably be better at escaping as well as closing down on targets, but not sure does streangths warrant enough advantages over Kayn

Beyond the higher burst and more range on his AoE?

Higher burst? that might be true, but at this point is really too early to know that

More range on AoE is true, but in most instances a good Talon is gonna be making single picks, so the larger area of effect on his abilities is really not that relevant IMO.

Mind you Talon is at a 51% win rate; I am not saying he is a crap champion. It just sems weird to me that his E would be so gated early game. I understand the long CD is to prevent Talon from abussing ganks and escaping every gank made on him, but think having E start at a 160 seconds early is uncaled for. I think the numbers either ealy or late game have definite room to be twiked in Talons favor (Kayn late game with 45% cd can traverse the same wall every 8 seconds mind you)

Nah, In my humble opinion as a talon one trick, kayn gets stomped by any decent talon player. talon just has a better map presence
