I need tips on carrying as Talon

Hi, So I've heard a lot of stories about Bronze games that early game people feed enemy laners, making it hard for you to carry. Although I am not yet level 30, I've faced similar games, so I want to prepare before ranked. During my past few games I played as Talon, I was not really sure how to get past this situation. First, I know Talon does not have the best laning phase, and for a lot of mid laners, I am not sure how to aggressively play against enemy mid laners. When I try to go aggressive early laning phase, I lose to this trade. I know that CC is often the weakness for Talon's combo, and I often have to wait for their CC to go out, which can take a long time. During the early laning phase, however, as mentioned before, a teammate in my team feeds the enemy laner. Additionally, I know that Talon does not shine until level 6. Even when I do get to level 6, the enemy top laners are fed or really fed at that point, and I cannot roam because I cannot push the lane. And when I do eventually fight the enemy player who got fed, I lose because the enemy laner got too fed and I did not have as much opportunities to get that much kills as that enemy laner. So, if you were in the same situation as me, how would you try to carry from this point? Thank you so much!

just keep playing a champion till you get good at that champion, every mistake you make is a lesson learned until the accumulation of what your learn lets you consistently carry with that champion.

talon is pretty simple, get some red armor pens, dmg quints, armor yellows and m.resist blues (T3) and look online for a mastery build, its almost always going to be 21/9/0.

after that, just play alot with him, hes a really simple champion that can let you carry very hard, though if you lose lane then you become useless which is why talon is considered a risky pick, he snowballs really really hard.

Im a gold scrub who was stuck for ages in bronze in the eu playing assassins I maybe able to help you. 1st the dilemma that every talon player faces is that he has no escape. You must make the perfect decision not just killing the enemy but you must have this plan in your head to get out. This can be done by warding the bot river (it is the mids duty to ward the river with a pink always)to track your laner, and making the perfect surprise gank, and also going duo with a jungler to cover you really helps.

As for laning, You are quite oppressive. Dont hesitate to push and harrass. Then use your wards to your advantage and gank bot or that pushing toplaner.

The key to winning mid is to gain control on your laner. Gl

Talon's a pretty fun champ but kinda hard to carry with. He excels at blowing up the squishies but struggles to deal with tanks. I'd recommend looking at some guides on him to get a full understanding of him. Along with learning who and who not to play him against. For example immobile mages like Lux struggle against you if you have the reaction time to dodge her q and get ontop of her to burst her down, While playing him against Pantheon will be a extremely painful match as he completely shuts you down. Then learning more about your opponent's champion to understand your opportunities. An example is Lux, if she throws out her q and misses she is extremely vulnerable, giving you the opportunity to jump on her and burst her. If you'd like some tips and tricks on him I'd be happy to help you in-game :).

Kill mid laner, gank bot and top, gain elo.
