Talon vs Galio Matchup Summary

The Talon vs Galio matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 15 recent matches analyzed, Talon wins with a 73.3% win rate compared to Galio's 26.7%, giving Talon a 46.7 percentage point advantage. Talon dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Galio players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential.

Galio brings significantly more crowd control than Talon, with 1.3 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Galio far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights.

Sustain
945Talon
