Talon doesn't need a nerf.
If you're smart you can rape him.
I've never lost lane to a talon before because I play him so much and know what's going down.
He's a burst champ, if he misses his rake he's fair game.
Talon is completely useless unless he gets ahead, and requires you to play all in all the time to stay ahead. Pantheon does what he does only better.
I have yet to see one talon actually assassinate. All talon's do is dive with team, ult, and gets everyone low.
Same how eve is, she's an assassin, but she starts a lot of fights. IMO she should always start fight (along with some other hard cc (taric dazzle)) That slow is strong

So EG is the new CLG eu, the roster isn't changing
Talon is in a pretty good place at the moment and will get nerfed further if he becomes fotm due to a tournament, but iirc Talon's only showing in a tournament was when Rock Solid chose him in their protect the assassin comp. That matches was ages ago though.
Old news.
Umm what? Talon is an assassin and Pantheon is a bruiser, they have completely different playstyles. I mean I don't know where you got this data from, I assume you mean Pantheon roams better but they both have different roles in team fights.
No, pantheon is also an assassin. If you look at each champion's base health you will notice that at level 1 pantheon has LESS hp than talon, and only has 29 more hp at level 18. He is much more durable because of his passive and his kit in general, which allows him to play wth the aggression that he needs. He also has higher ad ratios than talon, his q being 1.4 per bonus attack damage (with 150% crits against low health targets) and his e strikes 3 times in a cone dealing effectively 1.2 per bonus attack damage against champions when they get hit by his GAP CLOSER STUN that INSTANTLY REFRESHES HIS PASSIVE. His cooldowns are also lower than talons, and auto attacks against low health targets will also always crit.
In terms of picking an ad caster to go mid (or anywhere really), pantheon is a better version of talon, he just assassinates much harder. Thanks for reading my destruction of your favourite champion, and your dreams.
