Riot you turned Talon and Katarina into utter garbage

Both Talon and Katarina have been murdered. What's the point of calling them assassins if they have no early/mid game damage at all. Also as far as I know assassins should be fast and mobile, Talon and Kata are so slow and useless right now.

Why would anyone play the so called assassins when mages have more burst damage and better mobility?

It's not that they don't have damage the numbers are there they just don't have a good way of applying it. Talon has more damage now than he did pre rework but how do you apply it against competent players? Same with katarina. IF everyone can burst you before your first dagger even lands what are you supposed to do?

the delay on talons w feels weird, but his q is amazing. when you hit that thing point blank and trigger the passive, it chunks like crazy.

i think maxing q, and playing super aggressive early might be the way to go. his w only to help waveclear a bit and to apply the passive.

Yes keep thinking talon is garbage! No one should play him anymore, dead champ xdxdxd

Also, what mage has better mobility than talon and kat? IIRC most of the top tier mages are immobile lol (xerath, syndra, orianna, tf?, malz, viktor, ryze, cass). The only hyper mobile mage is Ahri and she is a secondary assassin anyway so she doesn't count.

What, no they're better than before, you just don't know how to utilize their damage
