Is Talon better when played alongside Shaco?

There is no perfect companion for Talon that will 100% of the time be his top ally. However, overall, Shaco is a relatively poor teammate for Talon. By being on the same team as Talon, he lowers their win rate by -1.4% to 47.6%. This proves that there is a negative synergy between Talon and Shaco that allows them to perform worse together than without each other.

Shaco has a greater difficulty than Talon. That means you must be cautious when lining up Shaco allies to play with, as they will require a greater level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.

Working together, Talon players should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to dish out massive AD. Together, these champs should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Although, by pairing Talon and Shaco together, you will not be giving your other teammates much crowd control. We recommend you bring other champs on your team that neutralizes this relative hole in their kit.

Regardless of your Shaco ally's skill level, you need to focus on maximizing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well anyway.
