Talon vs Hwei Matchup Summary

The Talon vs Hwei matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 9 recent matches analyzed, Hwei wins with a 55.6% win rate compared to Talon's 44.4%, giving Hwei a 11.1 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Talon controls the early laning stage, but Hwei outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Talon needs to press advantages before Hwei reaches their power spikes, while Hwei should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Hwei leads by 0.9s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Hwei 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 Hwei 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.

789Talon
1,096Hwei
Hwei heavily out-damages Talon by 307 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Talon should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Hwei's sustained damage advantage take over.

14,970Hwei
Hwei generates a commanding 802 more gold per game than Talon. This substantial economic advantage means Hwei consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game.

Utility
0.1Talon
1.0Hwei
Hwei brings significantly more crowd control than Talon, with 0.9 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Hwei far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights.

Sustain
947Talon
485Hwei

This massive durability gap means Talon can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Hwei is forced to recall.

The early game (first 15 minutes) is a toss-up between Talon and Hwei, with Talon holding a razor-thin 50.0% win rate edge (+0.0%). Individual skill and jungle proximity will matter more than champion advantage in the early laning phase.

Hwei is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 57.1% win rate — 14.3 points above Talon. Extended games heavily favor Hwei, whose kit and scaling make them a dominant force in team fights and objective control.

The power dynamics shift as the game progresses — Talon has the edge early, but Hwei gradually takes over. However, the margins are slim enough that either champion can win at any stage with the right plays. Focus on taking advantages when you have them rather than waiting for a specific game phase.
