He was never really considered shit, people just didn't want to play him because his laning was frustrating as all hell and nigh impossible against a lot of common picks (Kayle, Leblanc).

Certain things other than Talon got nerfed/changed, ripple effects happened, people were no longer afraid of Talon. Doesn't help he's one of the last few assassins capable of taking at least one target from 100-0 in less than 2 seconds.
