Talon should gain an armor pen mechanic

It just sucks when you're facing a Sion and they get item 3076 item 3047 and you suddenly become unable to interact with them at all. If we look into other AD assassins Zed has more sources of damage overall and does have %hp magic damage every once in a while on his autoattacks. Assassin Kayn does magic damage thanks to his passive. Talon however does 100% flat physical damage as burst so armor directly counters his kit with no counterplay potential at all. Yes, assassins aren't supposed to tanks but with item 3135 I can bring a lategame tank down to 30% hp as Kassadin with a full combo or around 50% hp (at least) as Fizz. With Talon however I can have double-triple lethality + LDR and struggle to get a tank below 80% hp executing full burst combo.

My suggestion: give Talon's passive % armor pen mechanic similar to GP's barrels; that way proccing the passive can actually feel rewarding against armor stackers, IN EXCHANGE for lowering its damage a bit on early levels so his earlygame would be less brutal against melees. Something like that.

No if anything Talon needs nerfs because he still has way too much sustain for an assassin. Talon has a 56% winrate top lol................................................................................................................................................................
