I find him a very strong pick against many mid mages and quite a few assassins (Including zed, and yasuo if you know how to play the matchup). Dont underestimate talons lvl3: even without the silence, he does so much dmg starting from that point in lane phase that no one can trade with him more than once without backing, or risk dying. As to how he fits in the current meta, talon is a true all in assassin (if he doesnt do his job, hes dead) thats designed to deal a lot of burst dmg, more than any other assassin, in a small area around him (especially the target hes jumped on), but in order to do that he sacrifices cooldowns and safety. He also pushes extremely fast, making him a good pick against mids that stay safe by constantly pushing the lane so that most assassins are too busy protecting the turret to fight or roam.
