Skin for Talon or perhaps a rework on assassins

Talon is a great champ but not much people are playing it because of his inability to kill someone fast like an actual assassins who lurk in the dark. Because he cant silence no more and slow instead, it may seem effective with the passive however, people who are skilled are able to react. if there were a silence, he can kill someone before the enemy can do anything, it may seems too op but at least he can be an actual assassin, i feel like assassins should get a rework like the adc patch. i love talon very much and i want other people to play too, if it is not getting a a rework, at least get a new skin so people can appreciate talon's power of being able to kill a squishy fast like teemo. i want everyone to look at talon in a different perspective instead of a normal champion who can just kill someone either fast or get killed fast. without silence, enemy can react quickly like using zhonyas or flash or other escape, and that is not how assassins should work. SO PLEASE GIVE A REWORK OR A BUFF OR A NEW SKIN TO INSPIRE OTHER PEOPLE AND NEW PLAYERS TO PLAY TALON MORE, IT IS A GREAT CHAMPION

Assassins are being ignored because of all the new meta champions such as liss, mundo, jax, zed, and etc. im a Talon main btw and i just want more skin for talon, sure the ones that are out r good but only SSW talon is the best and if i start a new account, i cant buy that skin, so i would appreciated if u make a new skin or a ART REWORK cuz talon look mad old and i dont like that coming from an assassin, no wonder people can kill him easily now, cant silence and is old

Asassins were being considered as the next group for an update at one point. Also, just in your post, you seem upset that Talon can't kill people quickly and that "people who are skilled are able to react". Why is it a bad thing that Talon can't "kill someone before the enemy can do anything"? Just look what happened to Rengar.

im not upset but because of the new update 6.2 not much people are getting interested in league and i thought that rework on assassins might make league more fun because u can kill people. During the assassins meta everyone was enjoying until the tank meta suchs as morde, garen, skarner and etc... that was when league started becoming a bit boring. It is not a bad thing but thats how any assassins should work, being able to kill someone fast without them noticing, champions like talon or leblanc lost silences and look at where they are now, they can burst people, but people can counter that, how is that an assassin?

Why do you think that interest in League is declining? I'm not trying to take a stance (although I don't think it is); I'm wondering if there's some source I don't know about.

I think the point on which we disagree is what, exactly, assassins should do. The gameplay fantasy of an assassin is what you're envisioning for Talon: a walking blender that turns ADCs into smoothies whether they like it or not. However, that's not what Riot's assassins have historically been, or should be. "I'm going to kill you and there's nothing you can do about it" has never been a good thing to have in a game: it's fun for one player -- and exactly one player. Poppy was nerfed into the ground and removed from the free rotation because that was her core mechanic, and Rengar has historically been the same kind of balance trainwreck.

In my opinions, assassins should be very good at exploiting mistakes that their victims make; if Jinx steps too far from her faithful Janna, Talon can and should punish her for that. However, if Jinx plays well and doesn't make big mistakes, Talon shouldn't be able to steamroller her regardless. It makes Jinx's gameplay and choices meaningless, and kind of does the same to Talon: if he can murder anyone he wants without them being able to fight back, what's the point? That's not fun for anyone.
