Talon vs Azir Matchup Summary

The Talon vs Azir matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 14 recent matches analyzed, Azir wins with a 57.1% win rate compared to Talon's 42.9%, giving Azir a 14.3 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Azir controls the early laning stage, but Talon outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Azir needs to press advantages before Talon reaches their power spikes, while Talon should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Azir leads by 0.3s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Azir has a strong advantage in this matchup. Talon players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Azir overextending. Avoid prolonged trades and wait for team fights where positioning and coordination matter more. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Azir late game win rateAzir37.5%

Azir dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 83.3% win rate — a 66.7 percentage point lead over Talon. This lopsided early game means Azir can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Talon is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 62.5% win rate — 25.0 points above Azir. Extended games heavily favor Talon, whose kit and scaling make them a dominant force in team fights and objective control.

This matchup features a dramatic power shift: Azir must aggressively press their early advantage and close out the game before Talon reaches their scaling breakpoints. If Talon survives the laning phase without falling too far behind, the matchup flips in their favor. Dragon and Rift Herald control are pivotal — the team that secures early objectives can snowball or buy time to scale.
