@Riotsz... Useless Assassin? REALLY!?

High burst with Q, E's persisting 3sec effect and double damage nuke on his W and R, gapclose+ silence with E, Laning minions with Rake, escape mechanism with R(W is also one, but that depends on how it's used), a unique invisible enemy tracking system with Q(blood trail), a built in slow with Rake, not to mention very low cooldowns compared to other champions. His kit completely says "Assassin: get in, burst em, get the heck out."

Zed may have "better damage" with his base stats, but runs on energy: Talon runs on mana, so, he can spam with 40% CDR.

Kha'Zix is just a bit tankier with his Jungling kit and evolutions, but Talon's CDR and Armor Pen build can still be a pain to the Voidreaver's heinie.

And those two are countered by Akali and Kat, which are, in turn, countered by Talon.

So now WHERE'S YOUR STAND on calling him useless? Nothing? Because he isn't useless. You just can't play him properly.

Sorry for a rageful reply, but labeling him useless is just wrong.
