First of all, read this guide to learn how to use BBCoding so your guide doesn't look dull.

Click here to open up the guide, or click on the large white text saying 'this guide'.

Runes

greater mark of armor penetration and Greater Quintessence of Attack Damage are stronger setups respectively than Greater Mark of Attack Damage and greater quintessence of armor penetration.
Other alternative options for seals? Armor? Scaling health?
Flat Greater Glyph of Magic Resist against magic damage lane bullies such as Syndra?

Masteries

Sorcery instead of Fury ?
You can only get Dangerous Game if you have 3 points in Executioner .
You can only get Feast if you have Butcher .

Matchups

Talk about how to beat them, and avoiding their strengths. For example. Anivia has an auto attack range of 600 but she can't harass you down a lot at early levels unless she hits a Q + E combo. Mention that? Item choices aswell? If you're losing, suggest building a Hexdrinker.
You don't need a matchups chapter unless you want to go really indepth. Using the one you're provided in your cheat sheet overview is more than enough.

Items Section

Quoted:

The items I have listed are how I build Talon every single game. No exceptions. However, I can understand why others would be more open-minded, so I'll explain my items and alternatives here:

If there are no exceptions to the build listed, why mention alternatives?
You don't talk about building resistances depending on the opponent you're against. If you're against Zed and not doing so well, mention that an early Cloth Armor can help you survive through his burst. Against an Orianna? Buy Null-Magic Mantle.

Icons

You're using images, and you're making the images too big. They look pixelated and out of place.

Because of all these negative aspects of your guide, I'm going to downvote (-1) you for now, but if you improve the guide accordingly I will happily upvote (+1) your guide! Just a tip, turn on C2V (comment to vote) so you don't get troll votes. It'll be at the top of your guide on the right side when you edit it.

If you need help with coding or anything, you can message me! (even though I'm not too good at it.) There are coding and graphics cafe's around mobafire where you can request graphics and guide coding to be made/done for you aswell provided that you credit them!

Hope that helps! :)

So far it's a pretty basic Talon guide, in a good way.
But can you explain me some parts of your guide?

-Why did you go for the attack speed instead of CDR in your masteries?
-Do you generally skill W,E,W and than Q? Wouldn't W,E/Q,Q/E be a better choice? I mean you can start trading with level 3 by skilling it that way. Especially in lower Elos you can dodge a skill shot and jump on the Enemy and get away with it.

Some advices I would give to other players reading this:
-Ask your jungler for help, he's there to help you (and of course other lanes too).

-OP recommends Long sword + 3 health potions. I personally feel better with a long sword + 2 health potions + 1 mana potion. It's up to you of course.

If you start trading with your enemy never run back in a straight line! Skill shots can easily hit you on your way back.

-Against strong poke champions or generally stronger early game champions I would recommend buying Crystalline Flask + 3 health potions. Use your W and Q to farm!

-Never go back and just buy the brutalizer. At least have one other damage item!! Sometimes it's better to buy 3 long swords.

-Laning against Yasuo can be pretty annoying.But there are a few tricks how you can win the lane. With a Crystalline Flask you can stay longer in lane and keep farming. If you feel confident enough you can start trading with him. A good way to get rid of his shield is by poking with your W. Right before his shield comes back up again you can use your Q on him. The bleeding will make his shield go on CD. Try to avoid his Q and make him use his windwall. His Windwall has a pretty long cool down (26-18 seconds) use this timeframe to trade/kill him.

-OP forgot to mention that Talon needs the kills. Otherwise he'll become useless. If you can't kill your oponent with level 6. Start roaming!

-In some cases you'll be wining your lane by reaching level 3-4. Use this chance to gank the enemy jungler. You can go to his red/blue buff and kill him and maybe steal his buff.
To pull this off you have to be fairly confident as a Talon player. Otherwise you'll fail and fall back in farm and in the worst case losing your lane.
