In theory and in S2 this would be a decent enough idea that could work, but now with the revamped Pen items it would be alot harder. I would say go for it but any bruiser is pretty much op against high CD champs. If you have medium to long CD's, no escape, and or no GOOD and reliable CC, then your fucked. BTW Talon is a very strong assasin and pretty much stomps every other champ mid-late in a solo lane. Hes similar to Anti-Fighters like teemo, jax, nasus etc. And you forget to mention on of the best melee AP Mid's in the game....Katarina
