Can we please acknowledge Talon in the lore already? You even gave MALPHITE a lore update before him

Quite literally, he's probably the only champion with so little lore that he can't even exist in the modern narrative. Not even acknowledges him at all. Marcu Du Couteau, a General Assassin whose supported Swain, and The Blade's Shadow's mentor has been acknowledged by him. Why is ignored? He's his personal assassin prodigy, and was probably intended to be his successor after dishonored the family. (I wouldn't be suprised if he wanted to appoint Talon as the head of the house, had it not been for his disappearance.)

It's a damn shame how there's several champions that are just needlessly ignored in the lore, and frankly it kinda makes me get salty when other champions get updated multiple times and my favorite still has received nothing.

When Du Couteau comes back is probably when Talon will get his bio update. His whole character hinges on finding another character who is arguably more important so its' hard for him to stand on his own two feet. I do agree they could give an intermediary bio update teasing the general and giving Talon background while we wait. Then afterwards Talon can develop. Probably find his identity and new purpose as a he is now "a blade with no sheath".

Riot: We love the Du Couteau family! Marcus, Soreana, Katarina, Cassiopeia, and... looks down at smudged writing on hand … Taylor.

For real though. Cass and Kat got an update. Where is Talon's?

His lore is perfect. Talon is SO SNEAKY nobody can find him.

Also can my man Talon get an actual good skin. At least by splash arts they are all horrible and look nothing like he looks like in his normal splash art. He goes from being a bad ass handsome man to a fucking kpop star. And it's not even just one skin in EVERY SKIN he looks like a kpop star. The in game models are a bit better but I could never in good faith use a talon skin because I would hate for people to think I actually like the splash art.

He doesn't just need a lore update, he needs a full visual update like Morgana and Ezreal. His clothing looks ridiculous by today standards. I want him to be more than just an assassin's creed wannabe. I can only dream for this day to come, even If they do only a lore update, It will make me very happy as someone who loves playing Talon.

The thing is that Malphite could literally not exist in the new lore without an update. Talons lore still matches the new canon, they only need to expand upon it.
