Poor Talon's neglected lore

I was eager to see what interactions the new Irelia would have, but I was dissappointed at one thing: When Irelia interacts with Sivir, she says: "Really? Flying blades? Get your own thing sister." While on one hand it was funny, I thought the original flying blades guy was this one right here -> .

Yet I found Irelia doesn't have a single quote or interaction for him. Can we get any Rioter comments on why this is? Or what even is supposed to be Talon's thing in the lore these days? I feel like his lore has been seriously neglected, and hardly any other champions recognize him as a person of any importance these days :(

Who actually has unique interactions with talon? Not including champs who have interactions with all noxians.

Why would Talon be the flying blades guy? He has them in like 2 of his skills. Meanwhile Sivir and Irelias entire ktis are based on theirs.

EDIT:Dang it messed up,wanted to clarify that their themes are about the blades,not the kits.

Talon's most meaningful connection is to General DuCouteau, and his character seems to have been significantly changed, judging by the Noxus revamp. He seems much more vicious now, having dispatched assassins to kill his own daughter, so Talon's lore where he sorta adopts him feels a little...odd.

I'm guessing we'll have to wait until that plot thread is touched upon again to get anything for Talon. His closest champions are Katarina and Cassiopeia, but they're also in kind of a weird place interaction wise, since they've received extensive rewrites post-release.

The projectiles on both Talon and Irelia look nearly identical when they're in flight. I'd hate to be caught in the crossfire between the two haha.
