Talon's damage is about 1180 + 480% bonus AD (counting damage of 1 AA amplified by Q) without DoT (over 6 seconds) and 1270 + 600% bonus AD counting it. All of this over 2 seconds. Zed's damage over the same two seconds is 1115 base + 660% bonus AD if he cast only one E during ultimate and 1385 + 795% if he cast two (with CDR it can be as low as 1.8 seconds, allowing permaslow btw) not counting possible 12% of enemy's max health if it goes under 50%. Only 1/3 of this damage is dealt after 3 seconds. Any additional AA (usually 2 - 4) or other damage that Zed can fit into this 3 seconds plays not in Talon's favor since it is basically multiplied by 1,5. Delayed time also allows him to disengage early while Talon or Kha'Zix in most cases must stay on target until it dies. Further damage is also hugher since his cooldowns way lower than Talon's, but it is irrelevant if we talk about assasination power.

Zed has longer range for poking than Talon (MUCH longer if you use shadow) and stealth can be countered by vision, while blinks countered only by very thick walls xD.

His burst is way higher than Talon's but can be reduced with cleance, for example. So I do not want to say that Talon is weaker or stronger, they have different styles, and I dare you to try him yourself WHEN HE IS OFFICIALLY OUT and use your own head, not Urf's verdict.
