Oh, I totally agree with you, I understand he already has problems which should be addressed, I was thinking more of a temp fix, the silence he has really serves little to no purpose, so why bother with it at all? It makes his E more of an important skill in his kit, and the mana cost increase I mentioned means he needs to manage it more, adding a little more to his laning.

Talon's immense burst with little to no counterplay is annoying, however, something you mentioned is that his ult makes it so he can either safely engage or escape, well, I somewhat disagree. I'll cede that it lets him gapclose mush more effectively at the beginning of a teamfight, he doesn't have to wade through the enemy front line, or risk a flanking manuver before the fight begins, but entering the fight takes away half the burst on his ult, which is a decent portion of his damage (Though that is fairly high). While in most situations, if Talon ults to finish his target, and uses the MS and stealth to retreat, usually his combo will have failed to kill the target, due to his burning the ult to leave.

I think a change to his E, to make it require a bit more lane phase management is a good step towards evening out his problematic kit. As well as changing his passive, and taking the DoT off of his Q.

Most of what I am stating here btw, is from a non ranked, probably mid silver players personal experience as a Talon main.
