Talon vs Kayn Matchup Summary
The Talon vs Kayn matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 53 recent matches analyzed, Kayn wins with a 60.4% win rate compared to Talon's 39.6%, giving Kayn a 20.8 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Kayn controls the early laning stage, but Talon outscales as the game goes longer.

Kayn 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 Kayn 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.
