Shadow Assault is a powerful escape tool, but can also be offensively used to assault a group.
You can use Assassin's Path to get behind the enemy and set up for Noxian Diplomacy's melee attack.
Remember to pick your target before the fight. Focusing all of Talon's abilities on one target can be very rewarding, but splitting them up between many may leave you helpless.

Overall, Talon sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Gwen. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN.

This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Gwen.
Additionally, when Talon plays with Gwen on the same side, he typically takes a little less damage than when he fights alone. Taking not as much damage could mean that Gwen does a decent job of covering Talon in teamfights.
