Talon's still strong as fuck imo. His combo unloads so fast that him losing his silence is barely a nerf, since you need some pretty good reaction time to counter him. Sure there are some matchups (Malz, Ahri, anyone with a decent cc) that he used to stomp and that are more about skills and reading your opponent now, but how's that unhealthy? His silence was just too much. Any Point'n'Click Silence is too much anyway.

I'll agree on one thing though, the slow is bullshit. It needed to be at least 1s or decay over 2s to really not feel like too much of a "Have this shitty buff in exchange for your silence" situation.
