Ah, and sorry for the non-perfect english, i am working on it, i promise, haha.
PROS:
- One if not the quickest Assassin in the whole game. A really fed Talon can burst so fast as the Flash animation.
- Have a high Snowball potential and can "avanlanche" the game if he gets ahead.
- Has good Roaming\Ganking if used correctly.
- Has great wave cleaning with his W.
CONS:
- Weak laning phase against most trades.
- Hard to comeback if fall behind.
- Easy to gank, even after level 6.
- Unique gap closer.

Talon is a melee Assassin, an AD Caster, which means that he is a Attack Damage based Champion that need his skills to aply concrete damage to the target. He's also a high risk but high reward Midlaner who starts with a vulnerable lane phase, but gets a power spike along time and then becomes strong between mid and late game, being capable of 100-0 any squishy Champion with one full combo.
Unfortunately, Talon is weak against any CC or high harass as most of assassins with the difference that he is way more risk than the major Assassin champions in the game, having just one gap closer that basically just work as a offensive blink and even his invisibility on


My boy Talon is indeed far from perfect (mainly after his silence removal), but he can still kick some ***es.
When i should pick Talon?
- When the enemy ADC has no mobility or is way squishy.
- When you counter the enemy Midlaner.
- When the enemy team lacks CC and tanks.
Your Synergies:
There is some Champions in each lane of this game that works pretty well with Talon:




Your Counters:
And, of course, there's some Champions in each lane of this game that counters Talon as well:




Sure, i am not saying that this 4 Champions you see above are Talon counters individually speaking, but as team, these four characters together are a good example of a hard time composition against him.
Can you learn with Talon?
Before i continue with my guide about a Talon's game i need to anwser this question: Yes, you can learn with Talon.
He's a complex mechanic champ like Azir, Zed or stuff like that? No, at least not in this way. Playing with Talon in the combos, jukes or anything like that is not that hard, really, the only "mechanic" thing that

So, just stating that Talon will teach you the basics and the complex side about playing with general Assassins among Mid, i'm not saying that his the best to start playing with this function or that he is the only one that does that, but you will indeed learn a lot about map control & game dominance, which actually helps you to became better in the Mid lane and doesn't matter what Champion you play there. I hope you guys understand what i'm trying to explain here.
Early Core:
There's 3 early core itens for Talon, so let me talk about it one by one:



Black Cleaver or Trinity?
This is a frequent question that a lot of people have, so read carefully:





Now, when you should pick one or the other?
- Enemy team has a lot of armor?

- You are snowballing the mid-game?

- Need extra health and just a little boost of Movement speed?

- Need extra burst damage cause you're actual one is not working?

- Have less money?

- Need to do some late-game pick-off?
