Talon Adjustments

I have been rather disappointed with all the great AD heroes that don't scale with crit. or AS. (attack speed). Namely right now Talon , due to his lack of burst that normally defines him. So instead of reworking his whole kit why don't we just adjust his ultimate and his third ability. Instead of having his e be a blink lets give him stealth for 4 seconds. If he attacks during this time he slows his target and gets a damage modifier on his attack. If he uses a spell to break the stealth then the ability slows the target and its damage is amplified by a scaling percentage. His ultimate causes him to dash to his target dealing massive damage and critically striking his target.

This would obviously need to be tuned properly but it would give him a way to do damage via crits. because of the recent nerfs to armor pen.

I think this is a good design choice to take when looking at his assassination, but a melee assassin laner without a non-ultimate gap closer is going to have a really really terrible time laning against almost everyone.

Riot is trying to cut down on Talon's AoE presence and this idea does support that, but at the same time I think more thought is needed to really respectably change Talon to be both more healthy and more viable. Right now he is viable but it's really only his numbers that keeps him in a viable spot, and he has no buffer for his power level when he is buffed/nerfed.
