Ever used steel wire before? It's durable, flexible and light to carry and makes for an awesome assassin tool, tying that to Knives crestes the sick AOE from Rake and Shadow Assault...it's all in the wrist baby xD. Chains are too heavy and clunky, and mágic...just doesn't fit Talon either thematically of gameplay-wise as a full AD damage assassin.

The execute is a fail-safe, either to secure a kill, or to clean low health targets in a post-teamfight disaster...it's better imo than the bleed which never made much sense on Talon's kit, given how the damage would either not be necessary or not enough to kill a target.

I'm realizing i may havê overshoot some of the E numbers...i'll try and fix it...
