Diana vs Talon Matchup Summary

The Diana vs Talon matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 135 recent matches analyzed, Diana wins with a 54.1% win rate compared to Talon's 45.9%, giving Diana a 8.1 percentage point advantage. Diana dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Talon players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential.
