Why talons passive?

Nice and short. Why Is there a passive that looks like it was suppose to go on a dps champ, on a burst ad caster? After level 6+ on talon it does not seem as useful. They tend to die from your kills and one/two autos if even that not counting your q. Was there no other idea for his passive? I hope it will be addressed in the assassin update.

Frankly it's a bad passive on anyone. It's not a high enough value to be very meaningful choice wise. Even on a really auto attack centric champion it wouldn't add much gameplay at 10%, given you generally want to CC people you're auto attacking anyway.

It's not appropriate to just buff it on Talon though until it's relevant, given he's not weak. We'd have to strip power out of other parts of his kit to do so. Instead it's a prime opportunity to just do something better. I expect that, regardless of whether Talon's one of the assassins we do bigger changes to or just one who gets smaller changes, that we'll give him a new passive in the pre-season update.

I'm a Talon, Tryndamere, Irelia, MonkeyKing , Illaoi main and I love Talon's passive!

The only two passive I dislike more is Lissandra's and Blitzcrank - actually I dislike them all three equally. But considering Blitz's passive isn't what makes him strong I'm not sure if they'll ever change that.
