Talon's playpattern is more akin to a Fighter. He wants as much time as possible apply and reapply his passive and it forces him to go melee, auto and then runaway with R-E once the Job is done. Q is a gapcloser, more akin to Pantheon W or Wukong E. It's not a defensive tool by any means and the Bonus damage only really comes up when you are already inside the Enemy since it has a short cooldown or to execute minions in lane and get the HP return.

Talon is sluggish because of his play pattern. And that is what made me drop him. Riot thought his roaming was what his "speed" defined him, when in reality, it was the InCombat blazing speed of his Blink, Shadow Assault and fast damage.
