Also Talon's silcence is the second shortest in the game, Kass still does have a weaker lane than Talon, mainly due to Talon being AD based, and Kass being mana (Tear) and AP based, requiring more items faster. In all honestly, Talon is the only assassin who can justify having a silence, since otherwise a quick flash away from him makes him useless, and usually dead, since, unlike like LB's root, and RW, and Kassadin's ult, he needs to rely on much more to keep up with his target. He has his ult, but if they flash out mid ult, he loses a lot of damage. Talon's silence prevents panic/lucky escapes, that is all, so he really just removes the element of being lucky as a way to avoid Talon.
