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.
