A skill matchup here, cutthroat her charm and you should be good
Anivia
She can be VERY annoying to deal with, her wall can kill you if you have no enemy minions to cutthroat to. she can force fights with you, so try to farm with W.
Annie
It's Annie. Her ability to out-trade many mid laners makes her a very dangerous opponent.
Azir
Azir is very squishy, kill him before he hit's 6 and snowball off your lead. If he kills you than stay back and farm, and wait for help.
Akali
Akali isn't played much (from what i have seen) so i can't speak from experience, but she can be dangerous if fed, play it safe, and only go in if you know you can kill her and live.
Brand
Brand out-trades and out damages you, if you can cutthroat his skill shots you can win fights easily pre 6.
Cassiopeia
Like Akali, i rarely see a Cass, but again, cutthroat her poisons and you should be good.
Diana
Diana's W can be very annoying and can block alot of your damage, try to poke her with your W, and don't die to her.
Ekko
You out damage Ekko, but Ekko out utilities you, i can't say much but a skill match up.
Heimerdinger
Don't even try, just stay back and farm under tower.
Kassadin
Kass is a counter mage, force a fight level 2/3, if you win then grats, force him out of lane, if you lose, ask for an early gank and whoop his ass.
Katarina
You out burst her with your godly crit damage late game, she will not be a problem in team fights if you assassinate her.
LeBlanc
The Burstiest AD vs the Burstiest AP, get the jump on her and you should be alright, if you don't kill her quick enough she will one shot you.
Lux
Too many skill shots, it's so satisfying to Cutthroat all of her abilities.
Malzahar
If he is AP, out burst him, if her is AD, outburst him, if he is tank, report?
Master Yi
He can out trade you early, and meditate all your damage, but if he gets behind it can be hard for him to catch up.
Morgana
Report yourself for afk. If her binding hits you in a team fight, your gone (most of the time), so make sure to cutthroat her binding.
Nidalee
She can poke you down, but you can burst her down. be ready to dodge some spears.
Orianna
Cutthroating her Q W combo, can lead to bad things, mainly an E R combo, unless she burns it with a Q W R as you cutthroat.
Quinn
She has been nerfed alot recently, but she can still do alot of damage, Cutthroat her Q, as she relies on it to burst targets down.
Riven
Everytime i verse a riven, she underestimates talon's damage and she dies for it, you can out trade IF you know what you are doing, and you out burst her too.
Ryze
Almost a perma root, if he gets ahead he can be hard to deal with.
Swain
Cutthroat his root and you should be good, but don't drag out fights with him, his healing and dots can be brutal to tank.
Syndra
She can snowball you pretty easily level 6, her knockback can keep her safe and her ult damage shreds you if she has 5/6 balls
Talon
Mirror match ups are skill match ups.
Taric
GEMS, GEMS ARE TRULY OUTRAGEOUS, THEY ARE TRULY TRULY TRULY, OUTRAGEOUS.
Teemo
Satan can blinds your crits, but he cannot blind you skills.
Twisted Fate
Watch out for his gold cards.
Veigar
Skill match up here, you can cutthroat out of his stun, but he can burst you down HARD with his ult.
Vel'Koz
Geometry counters murderous assassin. his E can be fatal to you, but you can burst him down if he wastes his E.
Viktor
Viktor is just annoying, he can poke you down and stun you, ask for ganks when dealing with him.
Xerath
Cutthroat his stun, and you can burst him down, and don't let him poke you down
Yasuo
Yea just... just don't... don't let your team down, just don't fight him... pre 6. cutthroat his tornado and you can burst him down (maybe) before he kills you.
Zed
Skill match up, Assassin Vs Assassin, both with high burst and high mobility. ult when he does and wait for it to pop, it greatly reduces his burst potential.
Ziggs
Is Ziggs even viable? Just out burst him.
Zilean
Grandpa can stop your engages with his Q and his Ult. But he can't do much to you if you dodge his Qs
-One of the highest burst among AD assassins
-Very fun and rewarding to play
-Can one shot an adc (hilarious to do)
-Can split push really well
-Cutthroat dodging is very satisfying
Cons
-Mana hungry early
-Needs items to do damage
-Hard to catch up if behind
-requires knowledge of skills and mechanics of Talon and other champions to be efficient
Introduction to Crit Talon
Introduction to Crit Talon
I know what you are think, crit talon sucks, utility is so much better on talon. I see Talon as an assassin that is supposed to do as much damage as possible, in under as little time as possible, and i just think crit achieve that alot better than standard talon. (Actually i just dislike youmoos.)
Cutthroat dodging
Cutthroat dodging
In case you didn't know, Talons E, Cutthroat, teleports you to the 'FAR' side of the target, meaning that timed correctly, this can dodge skill shots like Sejuani's ult, Nidalee's Q, And Yasuo's Tornado. Use this to your advantage, as it is, in my opinion, one of talons greatest strengths, apart from his damage.
Final note
Final note
Please note that this build is purely for fun, and if you try this is ranked you have no one to blame but yourself if you feed. Also i put no effort into this guide, information on match ups may be incorrect, for more detailed/accurate match ups check other talon guides.
