The thing that bothers me about the assassin item isn't the item itself...

It's that everybody and their frickin mother is playing AD assassins so I can't play Talon and they will probably nerf him :c

Same, kinda worried. I haven't seen a talon mid, but I'm afraid they'll nerf him because the new item makes a few people play him. If he gets nerfed I think i'll stop playing him, because he's a all in, and rarely escapes death when he jumps someone unlike zed.

The whole point of the item is to nerf assassins later. You get core items now and then you'll be balanced around those items instead of riot giving ad assassins over-compensated kits because they don't have core items. Zed will lose power, talon will lose power, but you'll get better assassination items as some form of compensation and then ad assassins will be able to be balanced more efficiently.

I main Talon too and yeah he's strong but he relies on roaming for kills which aren't always successful. Maybe it's just me and getting worse or something with Talon but I feel as if Talon's Q needs to get a little stronger. In my opinion, Talon's a early-mid game assassin. Once it hits late game, he's not at all safe and unless the enemy makes a miss play, drop, Talon's dead

I find that he scales super well late game as he can outright instagib somebody at the start of a fight. Even if he dies the game is now 4v5, and usually I can turn one kill into two or get away. I feel he struggles most pre level 4 and the early part of mid game (when ppl start grouping before talon has 2 items)

Haha maybe it's just me and my experiences XD or it's probably my build or something. item 3142 item 3071 item 3117 (just some) but I play really passively as Talon in lane to just farm etc, maybe poke them down with W then burst, otherwise I just wait till 6 or 5 to roam at bot for kills

I always kill my lane opponent by 6, I also build both those items (not the boots I haven't like mobos since season 3) just neither of them early. Right now idk if tiamet into draktharr or draktharr into hydra
