Talon Ult Changes
So Meddler already said that Riot is trying to make
more in line with someone like 
, in how the kill combo of these champions are gated by pretty long CDs. However, I'd like to point out that unlike all the other champions who get insane powerspikes with their ultimates, Talon has no "gimmick" to help him win lane. No heal, no range, no bullshit trollpole that the entire community hates, only a mana bar that runs out faster than this generation's attention span. I don't know if this is biased, but I just feel that if Riot is going to gate with the early game strength of 
, then they shouldn't also gate him with the ult CD of .
Edit: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/7e6GlIXg-meddler-context-on-pbe-talon-nerfs?comment=0003 Here is the link of Meddler's reasoning of Talon's nerfs. Hope it works...
, champions who don't exactly have the damage to nuke someone to death from full HP, but have close to zero CD on their "kill combo". These champions have no CD to gate their power, but they don't deal nearly as much damage as the assassins from the first group with one single combo, which is why these "assassins" are often built as bruisers or even pure tanks. Right now, Talon has the early game damage and utility of champions from the second group, but his ultimate's CD is a bit lower than assassins from the first group. If the nerfs to him do go through, then he will have the early game of assassins from the second group, while also having a major part of his combo gated by CDs that belong in the first group. He will be getting the catch from both side, but nothing close to the perks of either, and I personally think that that is unbearably sad.
