Playing against Talon

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

1

Ward the walls and passages: Talon roams by vaulting over walls with E, regular wards aren't enough.

2

His W is his main lane poke: dodge it and he lacks damage.

3

Talon scales poorly into late game: if he doesn't snowball, he becomes useless.

4

Armor is effective: all his damage is AD. Zhonya's is excellent against him.
