Can someone explain why Talon's 'w' gets to cover half the lane every time he uses it?

This is the one part of hit kit that always bothered me. The hitbox on this thing is so large it's almost impossible to avoid. He can have his mobility and damage, but can we make his poke in lane a little less obnoxious?

If you're not braindead in lane, talon will most likely only hit the first part of his W. and at that point the poke isn't that great. It really isn't that big of a deal.

I think it has all to do with how balancing works. They wanted to make Talon an early game champ, so his kit is really obnoxious and strong in late. This is to make up for the fact that if he doesn't get fed, he's utterly useless lategame. Without such a strong early, he wouldn't be viable in his current state.

Don't get me wrong, i hate his design, i wish his kit had a weaker early game, but strong lategame scaling so he can shred the enemy team, i think old Talon was more balanced in this regard.

or you could... brace yourself... play PASSIVE early on and not try to contest every cs against the champ with the highest chance of first blood
