Idk if I would take both Youmuu's and Last Whisperer on Talon. If i chose one, it would be LW and here's why:

Talon is in my opinion a burst Champ, not an auto attacker. So attack speed items aren't as beneficial as other perks. The same goes for crit chance. Armor pen however is amazing on burst AD champs. Youmuu's gives +20 Armor Pen and 30 damage. That's the most benefit you get from this item as an AD burst. LW gives 40 damage and +35% armor pen. Better stats? For the damage, obviously, and even so for the armor pen.

Early game, 20 armor pen does more damage then 35% armor pen, since enemies have low armor. But with each level Champions gain armor, making the 35% armor pen from LW more appealing. How much armor does it take for 35% > +20 flat? Do the math and its 57 armor. When an enemy has more than 57 armor, the Armor Pen from LW is greater than +20 flat armor pen from Youmuu's. Every character end game as more than that from base stats ALONE.

Dump Youmuu's its for auto-attacker's like Yi.
