[Rework Idea] Talon: Sentinel of Noxus

Talon is a pretty cool champion thematically, so I thought I would pitch some ideas about how he should change with his update. Please note that Riot has already decided on his skills etc, so this will have no impact on the real Talon rework. This is honestly just for fun. Please provide any feedback you can, if you want.

I've always thought of Talon as an Assassin ie Altair or Ezio. In my mind, he strikes from the shadows or from the skies at any enemies of Noxus. He is sorta like the secret police. In this proposed rework I've tried to integrate elements of both his assassin side, and his awesome aerial acrobatic skills. He is an assassin through and through, and I hope you guys enjoy:

P Play with prey: Talon's basic attacks do 20% more damage to slowed targets

Q Hidden Blade: Talon's next basic attack strikes twice. The second strike is with his hidden blade, and is guaranteed to crit

Alternatively, his second strike ignores all armour/ deals true damage since he sinks his blade between the weak points of the enemy's armour. It would strike quickly, like twin blades: https://youtu.be/ehgoP9GIyQA?t=1m9s

W Bladed Cloak: Talon rapidly twirls his cloak damaging nearby enemies and slowing them for 2 seconds.

E Gouge: Talon Leaps a short distance and gouges at the eyes of target enemy, blinding them for 2 seconds (point and click)

R Angel of Death Passive:Talon gains global vision of any enemy champions below 10% HP. Active: Take Flight in Target Direction , becoming untargetable for 3 seconds and gaining 20% movement speed. After 3 seconds, select an area to DIVE down and slow nearby enemies. Gain 10% attack speed for every enemy champion hit, for 3 seconds.

The ultimate sorta looks like the Crusader's ult: https://youtu.be/rz0owFn1Vq0?t=1m56s

This is something I did for fun in my free time. Please note that all the numbers (duration, damage, %'s etc) are all made 'randomly' and can be balanced as required. I'm just focusing on making his Kit cool and cementing his playstyle as a mobile assassin who strikes at all enemies of Noxus from above. He is the Noxian Angel of Death and keeps the population loyal and scared.

Talon would be a strong niche pick if your team has a lot of slows. His ultimate can help his alllies land global skillshots , and secure kills at enemies that manage to escape the fight at low health. If the enemy clumps up, A good talon ultimate engage can potentially give him a HUGE attack speed sterioid and he could beast mode for a few seconds. Or it can be used as a last ditch escape attempt.

Please provide any feedback, hope you enjoy.

Thanks for reading!

I like the cloak action on W, i think it would be better than the actual Rake. Altho i like his e how it is now, tho can make it an intrerupt for chaneling spells. I think that Q might need some attackspeed between the two hits too, like Fioras E, that would be nice.

I dont play talon but i like the idea o3o

Now the "W"

"W Bladed Cloak: Talon rapidly twirls his cloak damaging nearby enemies and slowing them for 2 seconds"

Considering he has blades on his cloak , do they shoot out ? ...will the animation be like something like item 3030 active ? ... the slanted way the bolts fly out , considering how talons cape is at a slanted angle

Or is it just pretty much a spin skill with his cape garen , kat , and so on
