What Would Happen If Talon Can Move Through Units?

I mean, for the removal of brutalizer and LW, got HUGE buffs, got pretty decent buffs too, but didn't get jack shit. And this wouldn't take away his counterplays; like, he won't get bonus armor pen or a silence( ) from being able to walk thru minions. This is pretty much just a QoL change, and IF Riot is kind enough to give Talon this TINY bit of buff, I'd be able to die with my eyes closed.

Bad things. Veeeeery bad things.

Unless you're Talon, in which case wonderful things![slayer-pantheon-rainbows]

But how is it VERY bad....kass and fizz have it, and they are both better early than talon now...

Because Talon really isn't bad now.

And imagine: if you were against a good Talon, and all of a sudden he could just walk through everything to get to your squishiness. Think what that would be like

Usually Talon doesn't WALK through everything to get to your squishy. He's not Udyr, lol. Also, minion blocking to peel is kinda a bad strategy, right? Finally, ignoring unit collision is just meant to make it a TINY bit easier for talon to walk up for the CS during lane.

Talon is fine. He's a good example of how risk-reward should work on an assassin, and if anything, is slightly anti-fun to lane against. I agree that the Zed buffs were uncalled for, but Kha'Zix was borderline unplayable in the role he was intended to be played in. What we shouldn't do is say "Well Zed is anti-fun and has no legitimate drawbacks. To counter that, let's make Talon the same way!"

So, why don't people play Talon? Simple, because Zed exists. Why play Talon and have to play a fair assassin if you have Zed and his get out of jail free card and God tier lane? So how do we fix Talon's play rate? By fixing Zed.
