Talon vs Ekko Matchup Summary

The Talon vs Ekko matchup is essentially a coin-flip matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 48 recent matches analyzed, Talon wins with a 50.0% win rate compared to Ekko's 50.0%, giving Talon a 0.0 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Talon controls the early laning stage, but Ekko outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Talon needs to press advantages before Ekko reaches their power spikes, while Ekko should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Ekko leads by 0.5s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Talon has a statistical edge, but the margin is close enough that respecting Ekko's strengths is important. Trade when cooldowns are favorable, track the enemy jungler, and build toward your strongest item spikes to convert the slight advantage into a decisive lead. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Farming

Damage

778Ekko

Ekko provides 0.5 seconds more crowd control per minute than Talon, offering better gank setup potential and slightly more team fight utility. This CC advantage helps Ekko coordinate with their jungler and control the pace of skirmishes.
Sustain

Talon dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 75.0% win rate — a 50.0 percentage point lead over Ekko. This lopsided early game means Talon can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

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

This matchup features a dramatic power shift: Talon must aggressively press their early advantage and close out the game before Ekko reaches their scaling breakpoints. If Ekko 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.
