I recently watched a video from RedMercy about running a Smite Zed in-lane and then I realized it would be awesome to run a smite Talon. 
passive "Mercy" allows smite to let him inflict more damage and then he can also throw his W to increase or reset the duration of the slow, allowing more damage to be done to the enemy. Upgrading to 
/
would allow Talon to gain solid damage, armor pen and CDR for the mid-game.
Thoughts?

instead and it works pretty well
JustMyBassCannon1 votesI'm pretty sure Riot was saying they expected to see some lane Smite builds come from this change, and I can't wait to see an all-Smite team.
GanksLikeGast0n1 votesI went against a four smite team. It took away a bit from their early game, but their dragon/Baron/Buff control was crazy. And mid to late game as they finished their machete items and regular kit they caught back up. Lately my friends and I have been running either support or mid smite as well. Takes some getting used to, but the map control is great.

7ha7guy7771 votesi always wondered if Frozen Mallet would be good on Talon because every attack after the first one would deal 10% extra damage
JustMyBassCannon1 votesConsidering his E applies a slow for just long enough that you can land a basic attack...
That said, it's inefficient to get a more defensive item on an assassin. It works better on bruisers. That, and Talon already has two innate slows, so unless you're really bad at landing E and W, it's overly redundant.

Not worth it at all. Way too much of a waste of gold for no increased damage compared to buying a similarly priced it.
depends how you are playing talon if you are playing him as a assasin then it's not worth but if you are a top lane bruiser and you build a few tanky items i would reccomend buying this as your tanky item
Toothless Lion1 votesI think skirmisher would be more interesting. It works with physical damage and Talon's bleed will extend the duration the true damage procs. Old elder lizard worked like that so skirmisher might do similar.
forist1 votesTalon's passive isn't worth building around. He's always been a straight up ad burst champ, 10% on autos is a pathetic increase when most of your damage as talon comes from abilites not aa's.
BIondeBeard1 voteskeep in mind that talon's q counts as a basic attack amplifier therefore the 10% still procs on it
forist1 votesNot exactly, talon's passive only amplifies the auto attack damage not the actual q damage. Here, from the wiki:
Definitely not a passive anyone should bother building around, especially when riven has practically the same passive except 5x stronger.
