Talon vs Jax Matchup Summary

The Talon vs Jax matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 40 recent matches analyzed, Talon wins with a 56.4% win rate compared to Jax's 43.6%, giving Talon a 12.8 percentage point advantage. Talon dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Jax players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential.
