Talon Counters Summary (Continued)

The top picks not in lane to counter Talon include Ziggs, Xayah, and Ezreal. These champions are all great at countering Talon with decent win rates over 57%. Even if these Talon counter picks are not used in the same position as you, it's not smart to choose him into one of these matchups. They will most often destroy Talon.

Conversely, if the other team picks either Taric or Poppy, Talon mains should strongly consider taking him, as he easily dominates these selections with win rates over 52% against both ofthem.

How to Counter Talon

Watch Out for First Blood: Talon is known for getting the highest amount of first bloods in the game. His early kill pressure is incredible, so ensure you play defensively in the early game and avoid unnecessary confrontations.

Counter His Roaming: Talon's ability to move quickly across the map can catch you off guard. Try to keep track of his movements and warn your team whenever he disappears from your lane.

Prepare for Late Game Sneak Attacks: Talon excels at picking off straggling or isolated targets. Ensure you're not caught alone, especially in the later parts of the game.

Exploit His Weakness When Behind: If Talon falls behind in the early game, he loses his killing potential. Keep him under pressure to limit his gold and XP gains and reduce his late-game impact.

Group Up: Once your team starts grouping, it becomes harder for Talon to secure kills. Group up whenever possible to mitigate his assassination attempts.

Play Defensive at Level 2 and 6: Talon's power spikes at level 2 and 6 should be taken into account. Playing defensively during these levels can limit his advantage.

Survive the Mid-Game: In the mid-game, Talon excels at picking off enemies. Stay alert, rotate with your team, and exercise constant communication to counter this.
