How I Would Fix Talon: Quality of Life buff

Alright guys, this can go either way and I would like opinions from other players.

I feel as though Talon's E should be changed.

His current E:

Cutthroat RANGE: 700 COST: 35 / 40 / 45 / 50 / 55 MANA COOLDOWN: 18 / 16 / 14 / 12 / 10 ACTIVE: Talon blinks behind his target, Slow icon slowing them by 99% for 0.25 seconds and amplifying his damage against that target for 3 seconds. DAMAGE AMPLIFICATION: 3 / 6 / 9 / 12 / 15%

Why I feel as though it should be changed:

I do not know if Talon's E should be changed, it has great synergy with his passive and I actually really enjoy the slow as it gives you enough time to land a Q on the target which benefits from your passive and the damage amp from your E, then you W the targets to slow, then you pop your ulti.

Talon's silence nerf was actually a damage buff to his Q due to the fact there is now a slow attached to his E that activates his passive long enough time to land that empowered Q.

Which is awesome. I like Talon's identity as the #1 quickest burster in the whole entire game. No one can pump out as much damage as Talon can over a span of .25 seconds. No one. He is leagues ahead of everyone else. However, because of this he sacrifices his ability to escape. He is an all-in assassin. He is the League of Legends equivalent of a Kamikaze pilot. However, I do not like this. An assassin should be able to get into a fight, take out the target, and escape. I can respect your opinion if you believe I am wrong. I believe that the solution to this problem is very simple though.

The Solution:

I want to give him mobility, but in order to do so I feel it necessary to take away some damage. So how about this: Make Talon's E function like Jax's Q. Talon can use his E to ward hop/blink to allies, and if his Q is activated the damage will be applied when Talon blinks to the target, much like Jax when he leaps to a target with his W activated. The slow will then be applied AFTER damage is calculated. Now Talon has some much needed mobility and he loses a bit of damage on his Q because it no longer benefits from the target being slowed.

If that is not enough on its own, however, you can also RAISE THE COOLDOWN of his E, and in return allow his E to stack up to 2 times. I've seen the idea of his E stacking in the threads, but I believe his CD on his E should be raised in order to compensate for that.

Huh, or we can make it so the ultimate ticks damage off of each blade from his ult, give it higher total damage and reward talon for diving into the backline of enemies to get the kill.
