Talon's damage feels very low for an assassin

Talon was my first level 7 mastery, and I was really pumped when I saw he was getting reworked, but after, I just don't play him anymore. He feels so weak. His kit feels very clunky, and his damage feels non-existant. Sure, he's mobile, but that's not really helping anything except to get around slightly faster.

I honestly prefer his pre-rework, mostly because it had very clear weaknesses and strengths. This... has some very clear weaknesses and some vague strengths.

He was made into more of an assassin, sorry you aren't getting fed as easy. Maybe he requires a little skill to play now.

What? He's one of the worst in the game at assassinating.

I can name 50 other champs who would be worse

I meant out of the actual assassins.

And sure go ahead. List all 50. Count them off.

So, then he isn't the worst in the game at assassinating? You think he is just under powered as compared to the other assassins? They are all op, so this is like literally pointless. xD comparing someone to something op and saying its bad is just stupid af, he is just a different play style and doesn't allow you to just jump in lane and murder everyone. He is being played how he was meant to be with his rework, smarter. The update was made not to make assassins more powerful, but more fun to play and requires more planning. So all in all, he got rework that you can't play so blame it on champ.

Incorrect. Every single assassin is trash except for Kha'Zix and Rengar. LeBlanc and Katarina are strong, but they don't assassinate because it takes too long. So they're delayed mages.

Nice way to dodge your own bullet though. :)

Id also like to point out that his damage output is no worse than any of the other assassins, they are all just played differently and require different combos and initiations to pull it off correctly.

He's definitely weak. Unfortunately it seems Riot atm doesn't really care, which is a shame since he could've been so awesome (and he's for sure harder now).
