At level 1, look to push the wave. As you walk up to use W, try moving to the side of the wave first to dodge his Q. Prioritize hitting both passive stacks on him with your W while also hitting the minion wave.
Ahri
Look to sidestep her Q and poke her with your W while hitting the minion wave/standing behind your minions. Only look to trade with her when her charm is down.
Akali
Look to push the wave to her tower and keep poking her with W. At level 2, look to do a standard combo when she misses a Q.
Annie
She will out-burst you when you engage on her due to her short range, and can kill you at level 6 with flash + tibbers. Look to bait out her fourth ability pre-level 6 to trade combo her. After level 6, stay behind your minions, fast-push the wave using Rake (W) + Tiamat, and look to roam for vision control/ganks/objectives.
Diana
If you can side-step her Q and poke with W, you will have a very easy time in the lane. However, if she manages to land a lot of her Q's on you and you're forced under tower, then you're not going to win for the most part.
Anivia
She can counter most of your abilities with her range/crowd control, and if you somehow manage to kill her, congratulations, you have to kill her twice now. She has better waveclear, high burst damage, she's a ranged matchup so you will need to let her push to you, and her passive will counter your burst.
Heimerdinger
You don't have any kill pressure before level 6, so just look to poke with W when his E is down and safely farm under your turret. Only look to trade with him if your jungler is ganking. Once you hit level 6, you can now beat him in a 1v1 with your standard combo.
Zed
Pre-6 try to keep the wave in the middle of the lane. Harass him levels 1-2 since he is weak at those levels. When he throws his W at you, try to Q leap at him, get behind him, and angle your W to hit both him and his Living Shadow. If you can get 3 passive marks, then proc your passive on him and you should win the trade.
Recommend buying Plated Steelcaps in this matchup.
Galio
Trade with him when his passive is down. I'd highly recommend going Phase Rush in this matchup because it's a lot easier to dodge his skills after you do a standard combo. Harass him early on; you have very high kill potential level 2 in this matchup.
Sylas
Take electrocute to win level 2 trades.
Don't take Conqueror because he will burst you down before you activate it.
Fizz
"A good Talon will beat a good Fizz, but a bad Fizz will beat a bad Talon" - Yamikaze
Look to push the wave and avoid trading with him when his E is up. His main combo will be to use Q, auto W to proc electrocute, and will then E out. Keep in mind that while he's invulnerable in his E, you can not mark your passive marks on him.
Kassadin
Easiest matchup in my opinion. It should only take you 2-3 standard combos to kill him. You will beat him in the early-mid game, and then he will crush you in the late game.
Katarina
In your runes, swap Nimbus Cloak for Nullifying Orb, and buy Hexdrinker first item. By doing this, you have prevented her from ever killing you in an even fight.
Alistar
He can initiate fights alongside you, last knock them up to prevent enemies from escaping your burst, and can keep you healthy in lane if you are to go ADC-Talon.
ADC-Talon: Push/Poke level 1 with Rake (W). Walk through the river and around the walls behind the enemy bot laners level 2, then ask Alistar to knock them up at the same time you jump over the wall and land behind them. For this to work, take Hail of Blades.
Pyke
Double-Level 2 Cheese
Kennen
Stuns everyone so you can land passive marks on everyone during team fights
Fiddlesticks
Fears everyone/gets their attention so you can easily access the backline and land passive marks on everyone.
Fiddle + Talon combo, if Talon takes Conqueror, has a great potential for Talon to get a Pentakill if executed right.
Evelynn
She can land the charm for you to land your full burst combo.
Morgana
Can lockdown enemies for you to burst, and counter enemy CC from hitting you.
Karthus
He can slow them down to prevent them from escaping you, and if you burst them really low, he can cast his ult to execute them for you.
Yuumi
Just imagine, Fed Talon + Yuumi
Diana
Can dive, tank the damage, pull them all down into her, and you can potentially burst down the entire enemy team.
