eiensiei says “REACTIVE lane, not proactive. I'll farm and poke safely with E, but won't go for passive procs after level 2. My W is enough to nullify his W, but I won't stick around to trade back, his all-in burst is extreme. He can start roaming as early as level 3 using his E and once he gets fed in a side lane, he'll get fed from me as well. He's hard to follow since Lux is immobile, and without good vision setup in my own jungle it's difficult to know whether or not he's roaming bot/top or waiting to kill me. I'll spam pings and buy control wards and if I can see his movements, I'll follow and try to help my teammates. If I can't follow, I'll try to push in, but will probably not go for plates unless I have vision on him - his E makes him really fast and Mobility Boots only add to that. I'll build Zhonya's for his R and honestly for the armor (Ninja Tabi are a good purchase as well).”

Avucado says “Start E and get early damage. Look for hooks and q's to make sure he is around 50% hp at all times so that he refrains from roaming, he has huge burst so don't kill yourself doing it. He will shove you in and roam all lane, assume he is coming if you go to roam. E away if he R's and don't engage with E if he has R. Steelcaps arn't bad here if they have a lot of other AD but you want to go mobis to match his side lane pressure most of the time.”

[11.19 Pyke Mid Guide] War Crimes in the Midlane by Avucado | Diamond Pyke Player

Yeager says “Seeker's armguard rush. Respect his lvl 2 all in, it's one of the strongest in the game. Play around his passive stacks. If he only hits 1 part of his W, he won't be able to proc the passive easily so you can trade back. He's mainly looking to shove the wave and then just afk roam all game, so it's your job to secure vision around his lane and the river sides so you can ward your teammates ahead of time. After the first hex core upgrade you can shove him in. Your wave clear is 10x better than his. You can't match his roaming, but you can push way faster and punish him by taking tower plates. Even if he sacrifices a wave and tower plates to get a kill in the side lane, it's still way more worth for you. ”

Hullos says “Insane roam potential with the ability to kill you easy if you are not careful. Best way to kill them is lv2-3 with barrier/exhaust. They will often underestimate you and as long as you hit the q's you out dmg them. warn the team for roams and scale. ”

Yeager says “Start corrupting potion, then harrass him as much as possible at level 1 with auto attacks and E as soon as he walks up to cs. Level 2 you need to respect his damage because he can easily burst you down with electrocute and passive proc. Keep your distance from this point and rush a seekers armguard for some tankiness. You will outscale in this matchup, so your focus should be to farm up and ward properly because he will roam the entire game. You can't waveclear as good as him once he gets tiamat, so ward the river and the middle of the lane so you can see in which direction he's headed after he shoved the wave. Getting a sweeper will show his shadow during his ultimate. He also can't jump over walls if you use your W: ”

Polarshift says “Pre-6 he isn't that much of a threat since you can dodge his second W but after level 6 he will oneshot you (if you haven't itemized against him yet) even if he misses his second W because his R also applies a stack. Unfortunately, he can apply way more pressure than you and thrives in messy environments which is huge in SOLOQ. Kills > CS meta is just too broken.”

Zianni's Challenger Lux Guide by iZianni | Diamond Lux Player

Eriosunx says “Lately talon has been more dominant in the midlane. Its a pretty hard matchup since talon has a way more burst than you and way more map mobility even from the first few levels. Best option is going ELEC+BONEPLATING, and unless you are already winning lane rush seeker's and avoid getting bursted before level6. With seeker+boneplating you are allowed to all-in him at lv6 and pretty much outlane him or kill him. Make sure to run TP+IGNITE for being able to follow him around the map on the important plays. You can also play IGNITE+EXHAUST and try to hard win lane, but most of the time good talons just avoid fighting you and start focusing on the macro plays”

Yeager says “You can harass him level 1 but DO NOT underestimate his level 2 all-in, keep your distance at all times. That's where most people die because they don't expect the damage. Get early seekers armguard as it helps out a ton against AD champions. When he gets tiamat, he will just shove the wave, and roam to other lanes. Not much you can do here, except for spam pinging your teammates to back off. Get lots of wards so your team can see where he's moving. ”

Fuzzmonkey says “He can make even trades with you if you don't dodge at least one of his W's, since he needs to hit both and a Q to proc his passive.

Every time he W's , E in. The second part of his W won't hit you so he won't be able to proc his passive for some time. Keep a bush Q for any time he ults and go near a wall then ult if he jumps on you, after a combo he should be dead if he gets hit by the ult. I recommend Mercury Treads or Mobility Boots for roaming but you can usually just use your W/E to dodge. ”

Katawina52 says “Kinda skill matchup hard-favoured for Talon if he plays correctly. Never go for a trade if he has his W-Q up or you just auto lose it thanks to his passive and you will be 10% hp. Out of experience from playing 100000x vs Talon I can guarantee you he will use his W or Q on wave or to poke you with W. Once he uses his Q/W on a wave then you can look for an all in or trade. Bone Plating 2nd into Talon is really good. Also rush seekers if they got an ad jungler. Make sure to never fight a talon if he has his spells up, especially he has ult.”

S11 Katawina's challenger EUW Katarina guide by Katawina52 | Diamond Katarina Player

WayOfTheTempesst says “Imo one of the easiest if not the easiest assassin to vs as Yasuo. The only real way you lose this matchup is if you get cheesed and first blooded lvl 2 which is when talon gets 90% of his first bloods. You can play up on him and fight him lvl 1, if he tries to fight you, you can chunk him massively and maybe even kill him when you get lvl 2 before him. If you can't chunk him when you both get lvl 2, be very careful because this is the time he can kill you pretty easily so stay back. As soon as you get past lvl 2 the matchup swings back in your favor as long as you windwall his W, you hard win the fight due to him not being able to proc his passive on you. Similarly to Pyke, he has no real solo kill potential on you post 6 and his only opportunity for kills is roaming on your botlane or toplane.”

WayOfTheTempesst says “Never had an issue with this matchup. The only lvls he truly has the edge is when he is lvl 2 and lands his W and Q on you. Wait till lvl 3 and and use ur E to dodge the 2nd part of his W so he can never get his passive off on you. Go fleet and shieldbash with 2nd wind.”

Drewmatth Taliyah says “MELEE = PUSH EARLY (LEVELS 1-2) - CARE FOR GANKS! (SPAM Q'S TILL 50-60% MANA). Doran + 2 Pots + Time Warp Tonic + Cloth Armor Early. I'd run Ignite against him because it's a winnable matchup if you cast your E properly. The trick here is to NEVER get hit by W (when IT IS RETURNING TO TALON). If you do get hit BACK OFF and wait for the debuff to wear off. If he hits you with both Forward W and Backward W he can jump on you with Q (you can bait it if he's low hp with your E). After 6 in the Talon matchup you will push (with or without minion demat) -> go bot ONLY when you see him being ON LANE. A Talon can one shot mostly anyone (besides tanks) if he's waiting for them on a bush and there's little to nothing you can do, but you can play around it by always pushing and roaming first (And returning through other ways OR recalling). I believe Talon isn't a very difficult matchup because of his predictibility. Post 6 you can engage on him only after you poked him down a bit with your Q (you can kite him from a long distance with Q, care to mobis/yomuus). One Trick Talon players do is that they like to stay nearby mid -> wait for you to go to the middle of the lane and then jump with E over a wall and insta damage you, do not fall for that. Always ping when he's leaving and make him lose CS. Take alternative routes to follow him bot/top BUT BE CAREFUL -- he has no walls, he can jump anywhere. The trick is to push first / roam first or kill him on lane. Get Tabis if you struggle in the matchup. Pick Cleanse/Barrier if you feel you are going to get outplayed by his burst.”

AP WormMaW Mid says “If you can avoid this matchup, do it. In here, don't even try to go for autoattacks, or you are going to get his combo with bleed, which might get you killed even at level 2. Ward around lane and try to always have some sort of information where exactly did this guy go - whether he is roaming or just waiting behind the wall to make his parkour combo. In lategame you should go for Zhonya in order to survive his burst in teamfights, because you are mostly going to be his target, but during early and midgame it should be enough to just make Seeker's armguard. Though, if you play it right and he doesn't get incredible ahead, then it's playable, but we all know what is he cappable off, so even if you don't give him any kills yourself, he will find some kills anywhere else, which will just make your life in lane harder.”

Ambitieux's MASTERS Quick Guide to Diamond+ by Ambitieux | Diamond Ahri Player

Sylvan Lore says “Talon has the highest first blood rate in the game and it's for a reason. You need to respect his passive stacks on you since the bleed of the 3rd stack is so heavy in early game. If he lands 2 stacks of his W on you, completely back of from the minion wave until they decay. If he flash Q Ignites you, you will bleed for nearly 400 damage at level 2 which can go straight through your barrier. Don't get to worried about the first part of his W hitting you, just never let the return part hit as well. Do your best to poke him out in lane without taking too much damage so that he cant all-in you. He is useless from anywhere but ahead lategame, so just farm up and outscale him hard. Recommend: Barrier and Vs. AD Assassin Build. Take Tabis as well if their team lacks sufficient magic damage. Also consider swapping runes so you can get a stopwatch and have an even safer early game. ”

kindo says “Talon in lane is extremely easy to deal with. Any all in he will not win, the problem lies with the same issue as all roaming assassin mids - he can just drop lane and roam for kills for free and there's little to nothing you can do about it. Once he snowballs, it's easy for him to force your ult with all ins since his ult is much lower cooldown and he can passively build CDR. Once he snowballs, he can just walk up to the wave and W it to clear it. At this point, best thing you can do is catch him out with some CC or bait him in your ult and execute him at the end. If your ult is down, do not engage when he has ult. If he doesn't you still win, but it's more risky for you to engage ever without your ult. Back to early game, poke him out and let him engage and fight in your W. Save your E for execute and you'll win just fine. Try to ping all roams and if possible, roam yourself. Kindred is 325 base MS, so it's hard to follow his roams.”

You also cant really trade with Talon early since your Q energy cost is really high. My best suggestion against Talon is to try to burst him as much as possible at lvl 6, shroud to waste his Ult and Passive, and try to finish him off. Still beware of his lvl 2 kill potential.”

TheSecretsWithin says “Talon is on the edge of going into the Even tier but is surprisingly easy for Kassadin since most Talon players objective is to roam, it allows you to get free farm and with your E and R, you can deny him so much CS, do remember to ping your teammates when Talon roams, don't get cocky. When he W towards you, you can just R away in a perpendicular direction to deny the second passive stack. And if he continues with a Q, you can prepare to aa-W-aa combo. If you can walk away before he aa's you, it's the best, especially if he gets 3 passive stacks on you since he needs to aa to get the bleed. Your E slow will make it even harder for him to get his passive off, so use it to your advantage. Vision against Talon is essential. Either he gets a sneak attack on you, or he gets to roam to another lane. In either case, Vision is the solution, so try to help yourself and your team. And usually, you want to hug walls to R over, but against Talon, it's the opposite, stay away from walls, so he can't close the gap for free. ”

lolzayno says “Hard matchup against ziggs since hard engage. Ziggs does terrible against assassins. In this matchup try to avoid his W for poke. You don't want him to shove on you or else he gets full control of the lane. and starts roaming. Talon will always out roam you so it is essential that you're farming is almost perfect in lane and you communicate with teammates. If he looks to shove the lane, make sure you actively auto the minions when possible and actively throw q's off the wave to explode on talon. This will give great early game trades and will pressure him in lane. If he manages to find both ends of his W on you, the chances of him jumping on you is high. If you're fairly close to turret, you can knock him in with satchel or even prevent his q dash from connecting.”

Sanctuar says “He can get hit by your W and R while being invisible in his ultimate, make use out of it to lock him down with your combo. Dodging his W is important so he can't stack up his passive on you, avoiding unnecessary damage that can lose you a 1vs1 fight. After hitting level 6 he has a stronger roam potential so keep the river areas warded.”

shidonryoku says “Talon is a bad matchup because you can't farm near him due to his combo damage. He pushes and roams, but you can't answer him anything. Don't follow him, or he will kill you from behind the bush. The whole lane stage against him is farming under the tower.”

cookanarities says “Talon in lane is extremely easy to deal with. Any all in he will not win, the problem lies with the same issue as all roaming assassin mids - he can just drop lane and roam for kills for free and there's little to nothing you can do about it. Once he snowballs, it's easy for him to force your ult with all ins since his ult is much lower cooldown and he can passively build CDR. Once he snowballs, he can just walk up to the wave and W it to clear it. At this point, best thing you can do is catch him out with some CC or bait him in your ult and execute him at the end. If your ult is down, do not engage when he has ult. If he doesn't you still win, but it's more risky for you to engage ever without your ult. Back to early game, poke him out and let him engage and fight in your W. Save your E for execute and you'll win just fine. Try to ping all roams and if possible, roam yourself. Kindred is 325 base MS, so it's hard to follow his roams.”

When talon ults, use Grass Q and tempo so he won't be able to turn all his shurikens to you by pressing Q. His weakness is that he can't full all-in you pre-6 because he needs the double stack of the W for it. Be sure to take VERY short trades and dodge the return of the W.”

The Jhin Cena says “Go either Fleet Footwork Rune Page. Overall Talon isn't too much of a threat to Yone unless he happens to snowball. His only advantage he has over you is level 2 when he can use his W > Q combo on you to proc his bleed which can do a considerable amount of damage. Once you hit level 3 though, you can easily dodge his W with your E and engage from there with a Stacked Q, and he won't be able to out damage you during these extended trades. The main threat Talon poses is to your other lanes since Talon players generally abuse his wall jumping to frequently roam. I'd suggest deep warding the jungle such as behind the dragon/herald in order to keep an eye on where Talon is roaming + keep an eye on the enemy jungle. You can also simply deep ward your lane and ping the respective lane relative to which direction Talon is roaming. ”

Johan Paracelso says “Another Skill Match-up. Talon can chunk you down and attack the wave at the same time, you should W when the Talon's W return, since the second part of his W deals more damage. when trading, watch out for his Q. At melee range it will reset his Auto and chunk half of your HP, but, at range, Talon will jump to you, so keep this in mind. When Talon procs his passive, you can W him and the wave to gain some Shield, and, since Talon roams a lot, it is hard to follow him, so, try to farm and ping your partners about his rotations, and on one v one, if you can CC him before he casts Q, you can kill him”

Bone Plating 2nd into Talon is really good. Also rush seekers if they got an ad jungler. Make sure to never fight a talon if he has his spells up, especially he has ult.”

Once he hits 6 if he uses his ult try to play reactively in the sense that you can pool his damage before he ults you like Syndra ult you can just poke him down and set up the one shot but be careful of his passive”

FalleN3 says “Talon has a decent amount of early level damage so be careful of your positioning at all times. Wait for him to use his (W) Rake before you try to harass him, (Q) + AA or simply just an AA. Try to not play this lane aggressive in the early stages unless you have a clear opportunity to come out on top. After level 6, you can burst Talon down but remember that he is an assassin so it's crucial that you can actually survive his all in. Rushing 'Seekers Armguard' -> 'Rod of Ages' is a solid option when dealing with Talon. ROA is a must have!”

Freezing lane early levels is recommended, as he has an incredibly strong early game. Danger ping when he's missing, since his roam potential is significant and you are likely to lose macro.”

Rush seekers armguard early so his lethality build path won't oneshot you. You can't really match his waveclear when he gets tiamat, so he's free to roam after pushing.

FalleN3 says “Poke him as much as you can and zone him with your ball in the early levels. Take Barrier for this match-up as this will give you the best chance to survive his early attempts of killing you. A sensible Talon will play passive in lane against you and will harass you with (W) Rake when you step forward. Talon is super at roaming and a decent one will do so at any given opportunity. It can be difficult to keep up with him due to his ability to leap over walls so you will have to think quickly, warn your team and either follow him or push the lane etc... If he picks up a couple of kills (from you or from roaming) he will be difficult to deal with. After level 6 he can be difficult to all-in 100-0, this can be made a little bit easier when his ultimate (R) Shadow Assault is down, you might want to have jungle help to ensure a kill.”

Veralion says “HoB/Cloth armor. Talon finally received a meaningful nerf through the recent Tiamat cost increase. He’s still unbelievably busted and will execute your entire team with with terrifying efficiency if he is allowed agency in the game. You can’t hope to match his roams, so your job is to control him and keep his health too low for him to even think about it. Don’t underestimate his early game combos, they hurt way too much for such a slippery and mobile champ. His level 2 does an incredible amount of damage, and he probably has the most dangerous level 2 in the entire game. Wait until level 3 to trade. Starting cloth armor seems to work wonders; you need a little bit of armor to prevent being bursted down too low and preventing you from re-trading. Gets you a faster Seeker's, which is always a good idea. Trades are pretty much even at level 3 with this start. Never let him proc his passive or electrocute for free. You can easily run out of his W recall with your W, and the first half of the ability pretty much does chip damage. At 6, immediately ult at him and force his ult. He should retreat knowing he can't stand up to you, but if he all ins you should survive with a stacked Seeker’s. Then keep doing it. Killing him isn’t the point; it’s to apply enough pressure to force him back continually and off of your other lanes, who will int to him in half a heartbeat if you let them. A roaming Talon is MUCH less threatening without his ult. If he goes for one anyway, shove in and build a level lead, and make sure to spam ping while you’re doing it. ”

Gageowago says “Poke and pressure level 1 and back off level 2 to avoid being level 2 all inned. Talon can also jump to you and then throw his w to try and proc his passive that way. Even if behind he still can one shot you. Buy Seeker's or at least cloth armor on your first back because an early seeker's neuters him to the point of uselessness levels 3-7. Talon is also one of the few lanes where going double armor runes might be helpful. ----- (Patch 10.7 Note) After the nerfs to his early W. it is much harder for him to kill you lvl 2, and he cannot one shot you from full hp. Still, be very careful of him because he still will easily burst you and one shot you later on.”

AriyaIsTheBest says “Talon thrives on champions who are severely weak in the early game, which means you won't be having fun dealing with him. I highly recommend banning this shithead. By the off chance that you get stuck against him, play safe and stay as close to tower as you need to. Don't greed for farm, and use your Q and R as necessary. When Talon leaves lane to roam, shove up the wave as much as possible while keeping the river sides warded, then either recall or retreat to near the tower. Remember that it's okay to lose a lot of farm if it means you don't feed him kills.”

Eccentricks says “Talon isn't as bad as Yasuo or Le Blanc (because you can win) but he isn't as easy as Zed. The number one rule of Talon that you may have heard before is the level 2 and 3 powerspikes. Talon is the first blood king and all of that. Respect him during that time and farm safe. Do not step in the line of Rake, instead pick a position that would make Rake have less value (not in the minion wave but still able to Q the minions). If you reach level 6 without dying, congrats, you have gotten out of the fire. But you aren't at victory just yet. Talon will roam, and be sure to call missing every single time he is not on your screen. I'm not being over dramatic, this is what you have to do. Overall, Talon has no easy weakness and he is a good ban if you feel like you can handle Yasuo.”

DravensBukkake says “Ignite/Barrier matchup. Literally easiest AD matchup for Azir. IF you know what you're doing. Levels 1 to 3 setup soldiers on minions, force him to farm with W or else he tanks autos. If he throws rake, walk away to the side or backwards. If he hits you twice, he wins, even if you do more damage as landing passive stacks on you is beneficial for him. Never be within his Q range, its very small. If he Q's a minion and kills it, the CD is cut down by half. Constantly shove him in, rush stinger to match his shove. He literally cannot do anything against you, except throw W's which do no damage. If he does manage to land 2 W's, just walk back and wait out the passive duration. Ward inlane, or side bushes/river to stop his roams. If he suddenly disappears, he is doing either 2 things. 1, he is roaming, or 2, he is flanking behind your walls to try kill you. Use your judgement, and also save W E Q if its the latter. This matchup becomes very very easy if you're experienced, as his playstyle is so linear and predictable. If he roams a lane without shoving first, he loses a lot of exp and cs, and you can get platings, so its usually worth. Otherwise, ping MIA once he dips lane. ”

Unless you have a solid jungler I would avoid fighting him, early on you won't have the mana to shove the wave more than he can so farm where you can under turret and ping your side lanes when he roams and shove the wave under his turret. After you build Lost Chapter shove and roam. Against all high level threats the best way to get ahead is to let them shove, ping when they roam, if they don't get a kill on the roam they lose 2-3 waves and tons of XP.”

Best option is to take Exhaust and build Seeker's early and keep in mind: Talon is an amazing roamer, try to pressure him so he can't roam for free and snowball.”

Euphoric Toaster says “Harass him early and dodge his Rake, as if hes able to proc his passive on you when you have 3 wounds it does a ton of damage. Talons Q can leave him very vulnerable if wastes it on a minion or if hes jumps onto you with it, so it leaves him open to an easier stun. After level 6 never overstay or he can all-in you as he really quickly gets to the point where he can oneshot people that aren't at full HP. His Ult makes him impossible to stun before he jumps on you unless you predict his position while hes invisible, otherwise you have to be reactive to it. You can get Sweeping/Oracles Lens to better track him when he Ults and once you get a Zhonya's Hourglass you negate a lot of his assassination potential against you. His E makes him pretty tricky to chase, so its never really worth chasing after him. Talon likes to push a roam so be SURE to aggressively warn your sidelaners when he might be roaming.”

EvilOranges says “D-Blade. Skill matchup. If he ever lands both parts of his W on you, be prepared for either a Q or a flash Q all-in. His level 2 is better than yours, but your 3 is better. A trick to get him to run in and die is to bait his W to hitting you the first time, then dashing in and windwalling behind you to stop them from coming back, thereby only giving him 2 stacks of his passive. This might cause them to engage blindly into you with no passive, meaning you win. Whenever he roams shove and ping repeatedly that he is missing. Take Conqueror.”

RagexAddict says “Talon may have some trouble dueling you early on, seeing as one of his abilities is completely useless against you in lane. You need to alert your team the second you don't see him in lane anymore, as his E allows him to roam better than any champion in the game, next to Aurelion Sol. Try to put him in the dumpster early and to shove out lane and get some damage on their towers when he roams. You can try to follow him if he roams, but that could end up poorly for you seeing as you get caught out, he'll be in an advantageous position to chase you down.”

pokeball says “His scariest point is his level 2, don't trade vs this guy or you will die and he will snowball out of control. Good Ekko players will use E to dodge his E, and trading vs talon is possible if he cant get his passive bleed off.”

wo xiang zhaoo says “One mistake and you're dead. On the other hand, if you play it chill for the first 15 minutes, his team is gonna suffer. Talon needs some kills before he can pop off. Don't give him any.”

Kaeze Poulsen says “Talon can win you on early game very easily, you won't be able to win him on mid game, and on late-game you can win, but only with you team. You can't out-roam him because he will be able to follow you being right on your back. Ghost, Clence or Exhaust are a good opportunity,”

Frosty Bonhomme says “Talon can all-in you with you not being able to do much, you can't root him when he uses his ult and he can freely poke you. If you are against Talon, start with Doran's Ring unless you think you can beat him.”

Smol Jelly says “Talon's got your number, and he's not using it to woo you. He's mobile, got insanely high burst, and his ultimate is great for offense and defense. Rush Seeker's Armguard and ask for jungle assistance.”
