I wouldn't say "extreme" by any means. They exist primarily because Riot hates Talon's whole "blow people up instantly" thing. Lately they've been looking at a lot of their champion pool and trying to keep some champions from blowing people up without time to react.

They knew Talon was able to do this for a while, so they tried to gate him by making his laning the most miserable experience possible so that not many people would play him.
