It's not that there can't be a an assassin in top lane it's just that being an assassin is all about killing people quickily and getting out and there are only two types. AD and AP. And with that you really want to be in mid lane because top lane is where some of the harder to kill targets will be and you'll be farther away from the more priority targets. Just in general an assassin benefits from being in mid because you can go anywhere to kill anyone and run back to your lane in the shortest amount of time.

Zed's combo is slower than Talon's. Talon's combo cannot be countered by Scimitar. Talon stealth when he ults. talon functions much better as a sweeper in teamfights.

Zed does have better mobility and security in killing a single target though.
