Hello, I'm a noob who is level 21 but has mained Talon from a very low level. Every time I play Talon I do well except when I lane against assassins like Zed, Alkali, Kassadin, and other Talons. For example, last game I got crushed by a first time Kassadin. You can find the game here. I am wondering, how do I play against other assassins? I need to know since I am becoming level 30 soon and I will main Talon for ranked.
archerno12 votesWell those are skill matchups, u have to outplay them.
Stalinium1 votesAs another Talon main, I find Zed matchups to be pretty easy- avoid his shadow and he really can't do much (you as Talon should be used to playing skillshot dodgeball). Once you both hit 6, it's honestly in your favor- you can surprise 100-0 him, and if he ults you can ult (for stealth) and then either escape or kill him.
LeBlanc is your (my) worst matchup by far. She's safe, harasses you, is safe, is soooooo stupid safe while dealing damage to you, and can stun you. And gets away perfectly safely....
I start playing aggressively at level 3 and again at 5 (I go W>E>W>Q>W>R). If you kill them at 6, you can basically 100-0 them from that point forward in the game.
I have never actually fought a kassadin as Talon, cannot speak there
