User blog comment:Darksusanoo/(Champion Rework) Talon, the Blade's Shadow/@comment-7709681-20150327033919/@comment-1920550-20150327040122

Complex? Yes...it's intended that way to created multiple ways of going around teamfights, chases and escapes, but preventing too much sticking power on to a single target.

Overbuffed? Hardly...if you want the extra damage, you need to proc the passive by mixing auto-attacks with your spells, which delays your burst damage and allows the target to counterattack.

Healthy? If non-working is healthy. SInce the loss of his silence, he has the lowest pick/ban ration of all pure assassins in the game. His kit does not provide anything that every other assassin can't do and better. While most assassins have immense mobility in an almost brain dead fashion (Zed shadows, LeBlanc Distortion, Zhonya's in general) Talon is "I can probably kill you, but i'll most likely die"....it's binary, it's an ill concieved kit. And sometimes all it takes is one spell being reworked completely with others taking minor alterations to make for a sucessfull rework. Viktor is a prime example of this. Zilean is another. Tristana is well, although her numbers aren't quite up to par yet.
