When is the Talon rework coming?

This champion is pretty terrible, easily the weakest AD assassin if not weakest assassin. His con's are: Telegraphed engage. He has to run up to you to be able to do damage unless he uses his ultimate for engage but then he loses damage. In that period of him running up to you, you can easily retaliate with your own abilities/cc.

Weak in the laning phase ( his abilities are trash without more than 1 point in them lends to this) Further on this point, Rake sucks. You are forced to max it first to farm but it has a huge mana cost for someone that doesn't buy mana and can't afford to. Its either Rake and get cs or Rake to harass and regardless of which you choose to do you are going to lose out because its easy to tell when a Talon is going to do something.

His passive is useless; every other assassin has a decent passive that you can actually notice ( zed's perfect cs even for baddies and panths ez tower dives, I could go on..)

His damage isn't scary for enemies, he can't 100-0 you unless he is fed.

No disengage unless you use ult, but you probably have to use ult to get into a fight or for damage on someone.

His E is garbage and the only good thing about it is the blink.

So what are his pro's for all these weaknesses? Nothing, because Riot has seen to it that he is nerfed to such a useless state.

Where Zed drops off Talon picks up. Talon is a late game assassin his early game is weak on purpose. I mean seriously 75% AD PER RING of blades what kind of crap is that. As soon as he gets even a bit of damage he's a monster. He's like the Vayne of assassins.

Zed has over 500 AD later in the game, he doesn't drop off. Its not 75% AD, its bonus AD. That also requires you to charge into a fight unstealthed and hit your ult. The chances of living are slim at that point.

Or you know, just flank the adc, kill them, walk away with your ult...

Telegraphed engage. He has to run up to you to be able to do damage

The first point you made about having to run up to your enemies, that is literally EVERY Melee champions disadvantage. to say it about Talon is to say it about everyone.

There is a difference between Talon and most melee that just run up to people. Talon is a glass cannon.

I started playing him last week and he`s super strong. Has more AOE burst then your Zed. He has a great kit IMO. You either burst people down or get killed. High risk high reward is how all assassins should be,

No offense but 90% of what you said is flat out incorrect. And you have no idea what you are saying.

So speaking of reworks, what about Yorick rework or was that just as forgotten as the champ itself
