Talon's in a kinda strange position actually, similar to Katarina. He has no places where he can be actually tweaked to make him/weaker stronger besides his damage, all his non damage numbers aren't really changable in a meaningful way.

But, because he is an assassin, he is always going to need to be able to deal enough damage to kill a squishy target, so any meaningful nerf to his damage (those happened right after his release), would completely bench him, making him nonviable, whereas a lower end nerf to that same damage would do little to nothing since he could still do his job.

He really can't be nerfed at all in his current state, a power shift for Talon would require an entire rework, and he isn't in need of one unlike other champions Riot is looking at.
