Talon has the better "All-in" ability in that if you're at a threshold you will explode to Talon faster and thus have less of a chance of surviving. IF you can survive Talon's burst then he becomes very terrible. Zed has less "delete" ability, its still there, but its not as explosive as Talon, Zed needs about 1-2 seconds longer.

Strictly comparing, yes I think Talon's passive is crap. If Talon had an attack damage of say 400, which is incredible, and manages to land 5 autos in, his passive adds a total of 200 damage. Enemies will likely never be alive/disabled for more than 5 hits. Zed's however will always deal a minimum of 200 damage since almost all champs will have a minimum of 2000 health. The set-up of being under 50% is also easier because thats generally what assassins do anyway. Zed's passive also makes it almost impossible to miss last hits on minions, even under towers, and helps alot when dealing with monsters like stealing Baron/Dragon/Buffs.
