How to Use Talon Counter Data
Here you’ll find every notable Talon counter for the JUNGLE role in League of Legends, drawn from actual ranked matchup data instead of guesswork. At the moment, Talon’s win rate falls furthest below his overall average against Fizz, Riven and Katarina. Fizz is the biggest problem: Talon wins only 38.4% of the 185 games logged against him. On the flip side, Talon holds the edge over Locke, Malphite and Naafiri, matchups worth targeting during champion select.
Each card lists Talon’s win rate in that matchup along with the sample size behind it, and larger samples deserve more trust, since a pairing with tens of thousands of games says more than one with a few hundred. The Easy, Even and Hard tags come from those win rates: under 48% is Hard, over 52% is Easy. Think of them as a quick reading aid rather than a separate statistic. The numbers come from ranked games at Emerald and above in every region, covering patch 16.13.1, and they update every 48 hours so they keep pace with shifts in the meta.
