Kayn vs Talon- Riot?

I might just be bad at thinking these sorts of things through, so I would like some input on this.

Kalyn's shadowstep, at max level has a 13 second cooldown. With max cdr, that's about 6-7 seconds (when the ability can last 5-ish seconds itself). He doesn't put the terrain on cooldown at all, thus he can walk over it multiple times in a relatively short period of time. Has a 90 mana cost.

Talon's vault lets him jump over different terrain rapidly, but doesn't allow him to use the same terrain due to long terrain cooldowns. Has no mana cost.

I could very easily be missing a lot of valid information, but I want to make sure that Talon, and his identity as THE mid to late game roaming/terrain-bypassing/hyper-mobile assassin isn't being stolen from him by the new guy. I personally find it silly how Kayn isn't gated by terrain cooldowns, but Talon is (and by very large ones at that)....am I crazy? XD

Is Kayn's shadowstep ability encroaching on Talon's identity?

(another reason I'm asking these questions is because I have a Talon bias, and I understand that interferes with my understanding on the situation).

Love you all! <3

It shouldnt because talon can roam very rapidly early on in the game where its very important. Kayn will be able to later in the game but even then will be slower then a talon.

So there is this really cool champ called Diana , but then this new guy Ekko came out and made her worthless. It happens.

The mana cost and longer cooldown makes more difference than you realize.
