How do I fight Talon?

How in the fuck do I beat a fed Talon (Fed being 1 kill because that's how assassins work.) If you die to him in lane, "Enemy Double Kill" "Enemy Triple Kill" "Enemy Quadra Kill" "Enemy PENTAKILL". Like honestly, even tanks are melted by him. Comparing Zed to Talon: Zed: Q - Skillshot W - Melee range slow / damage E - A dash / mirror of abilities R - a short range point and click burst ability + Escape + Ability mirror

Talon: Q - A point and click Dash/crit W - an AOE waveclear that applies 2 stacks of his passive and slows and deals damage out and back E - A Spammable escape with a static 2s cooldown + the scaling cooldown on terrain R - Enhances his Q to deal more damage, gives him stealth, gives him movement speed, deals AOE damage when casted and while it's moving towards a champion

Zed takes so much more skill than Talon yet Talon does so much more damage than Zed WHILE BEING SAFER, not to mention Talon can kill 3 people at once because aoe W = balanced.

Exhaust, armor, cc, out bursting him, have sustain to out fight him, dodge w, make him use q as his gap close, poke him out.... There's lots of ways but it basically comes down to you using your champion better than the enemy is using theirs.

First and foremost, Talon is NOT a pentakill 1v5 champion. It's pretty rare to see a quadra kill on a fed Talon, let alone a pentakill. That takes a lot of set up from your team and there is almost never a 1v5 penta from Talon.

While he is easier to play than Zed, Zed has a lot more potential. Challenger Zeds can make much better plays than challenger Talons regardless of skill because that's the nature of the champions.

And to beat Talon in lane: Dodge the second part of his W. It's easy to do and makes him unable to kill you in lane. Ezpz.

And Talon doesn't do jack shit to tanks unless the Talon is 20/0 or the tank is building full MR.

Once he's level 2, he will most likely use his W to wave clear and add a stack of his passive on you, because most of his damage comes from Electrocute + Passive, he will only be able to apply two stacks, which will not proc his passive.

Even better, you can stand back and avoid him getting a stack of his passive on you with his W then engage on him.
