Naafiri has a much lower diffuclty than Talon. That means Talon players don't need to be careful when lining up Naafiri comrades to fight alongside, as they will need a much lower level of skill to play well with you.
Working alongside, you should see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal physical damage. Together, these two can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.
Conversely, by grouping Talon and Naafiri together, you will not be granting your other allies very much magic damage. Make sure to bring other champions on your team that offsets this relative disparity in their capabilities.
Regardless of your Naafiri ally's skill level, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
