Talon relies heavily on his laning phase to be any use at lvl 6, and I think the extra MR is to make sure he can actually survive mages such as Orianna, Velkoz, Azir, Lux, Xerath, you name it.

His mobility is very limited in fight/lane, yes he can dash over walls, but that spell dont help him inside the lane, where Fizz and Zed and Dianna, Akali all have either smoke, shield or dash to get out/in safely. Talon relies on his ultimate for this.

In higher elo people would only trade with Talon when he uses his Q and if his MR is lower he can get abused so hard that picking him into a strong early mage would be inting champselect.

I think thats why his MR is so high, so he can actually have a chance to impact the game after lvl 6. and by then, people get magic pen and if he dont get some good roams he will either not have a easy time killing people or get outscaled in the late-game and be useless.
