Sure he is bad in teamfights, he is one Assassin with only an situational escape and if you take his roaming power and his strenngth outside of team fights scenarios into account, it's more than fair. The fact that he can't jump into a teamfight to take someone out and being safe like Zed or kill anyone like Katarina doesn't make him bad, his roams and kill pressure on isolated targets are way better than most Asssassins. It just means, that he has some phases he is really good in and other phases he isn't. In teamfight scenarios he simply has to wait for his time to clean up or catch fleeing enemies, so he has to play like an actual assassin. I don't see how that makes him bad. That's simply a sucessfull design. That's how an assassin is supposed to work.

Katarina is the exception here but in return she doesn't really have a passive in 1v1 scenarios and her roams are worse, because her mobility outside of a fight is really low. People like to compare champions, just because they have the same class, but they forget the personal niche of every champ. Talons niche is the roamer, who runs up to isolated targets in kills them and he does that really good, better than anyone else. Even better than Kha'Zix or Rengar to my mind, because he is able to cross the whole map without any obstacles in no time and thus can be everywhere at everytime. Expecting him to be good in teamfights aswell would be nuts.
