Here's an idea: What if we made Talon's E root instead? This way, we stop the problem of him being unable to kill anyone as they just jump/flash/dash/MS boost away WITHOUT giving him 0 counterplay. Or, similarly, just stop the use of mobility based abilities without stopping walking (called Cripple in Smite, I don't think League has this mechanic).

Champions would still be able to auto-attack, cast nuking abilities, CC, and what-have-you, just as seems healthier, but they WOULDN'T be able to walk away, meaning Talon can either escape from short-ranged champions, let a teammate catch up, or at least have the ability to get off an extra auto attack.

Or, as someone else mentoned, maybe give it a very slight cast time similar to Ezreal's E. Give it, say, a .25-.4 second cast time to give the enemy a chance to react, so they can do things similar to flashing to their tower when Yi Alpha Strikes, before the silence is applied.

Both of these seem like relatively fair changes that offer effective counterplay without gutting Talon completely.
