Talon can be frustrating, he does a lot of damage early game and can GTFO with his ult or just hop over a wall when shit hits the fan. My advice is to stay close to turret and only think about going in if his ult it down and you've baited his W. The smart play is to ask your jungler to gank because he is fairly squishy. Beware, he can still ult you under your W, don't risk it.
Annie
Annoying because of her stun, but otherwise totally manageable. The key is punishing her when he stun is down, if she uses it on anything else, she needs to cast 4 abilities before she gets it again, so that's the time to all in and punish her. Remember MR is your friend here.
Vladimir
Not dissimilar to Talon in that he has a complete disengage in his W, but this issue is that this guy has a BUTTLOAD of sustain, so you will struggle to burst him down pre 6. If your jungler is someone with a decent stun then maybe you got a shot. Other than that just avoid his Q's (especially the empowered ones) and farm your tits off. Roam bot post 6 also to help out and give you a little gold advantage.
Yasuo
Definitely a skill matchup. Most Yasuo players will use their W when you Q, you can use this to your advantage, as your Q has a significantly lower cooldown than Yas' W. Just use it to bait out the W then jump in Q + R + AA + E then W out. This is the reason why I think Akali has a slight edge in this matchup. Otherwise, just don't let him knock you up with his Q, because the ulti hurts.
Ahri
She can be annoying for sure, she has half decent burst. and her ulti is more or less the same as yours, so make sure if she has it up, you have 3 stacks of your R. Attempt to bait out her E with some skilled trickery, it's fairly telegraphed when she does it because of the relatively short range. Just learn how to negate some damage from her Q (it goes in and out in front of her so moving to the side / going behind her is extremely advantageous). Remember also that she is squishy and you eat squishies for bwekfast.
Malzahar
Captain aids himself. You will not enjoy this matchup. He will almost certainly E you at any available point, you may just have to take this if you want to have any CS. Avoid the call of the void slow thingy (Q) at all costs, he'll be able to punish you easily. His ult hurts you and will likely result in your death, don't give him a chance to use it. Your only opportunity to kill him is if he doesn't have Q and his ult is down, if you catch him in late with these i'd go all out. If not, then don't bother, just stick to turret and roam as you hit 6.
