^ Which brings me to another point. If you play Talon top, escaping ganks is the least of your worries. Talon loses to pretty much every bruiser and regular top laner by default. As an assassin, he is designed to duel squishy targets whom he can all-in effectively. Enemies who are naturally tanky and build tanky defeat this purpose. Snowballing successfully or even surviving top lane is not very likely in any serious game where the skill level of players is somewhat equal.

On the other hand, if you play Talon mid, there are no brushes to run to in order to pull off the E juke.
