Talon vs Elise Matchup Summary

The Talon vs Elise matchup is essentially a coin-flip matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 14 recent matches analyzed, Talon wins with a 50.0% win rate compared to Elise'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 Elise outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Talon needs to press advantages before Elise reaches their power spikes, while Elise should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Elise leads by 0.7s 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 Elise'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.

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

Elise is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 75.0% win rate — 50.0 points above Talon. Extended games heavily favor Elise, 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 Elise reaches their scaling breakpoints. If Elise 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.
