Talon vs Rengar Matchup Summary

The Talon vs Rengar matchup is a moderate matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 23 recent matches analyzed, Rengar wins with a 52.2% win rate compared to Talon's 47.8%, giving Rengar a 4.3 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Talon controls the early laning stage, but Rengar outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Talon needs to press advantages before Rengar reaches their power spikes, while Rengar should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Rengar leads by 0.2s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. While Rengar is slightly favored, Talon can absolutely win this lane through smart trading patterns and wave management. Focus on playing around your cooldowns, conceding CS only when necessary, and capitalizing on Rengar's mistakes. 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 71.4% win rate — a 42.9 percentage point lead over Rengar. This lopsided early game means Talon can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Rengar is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 62.5% win rate — 25.0 points above Talon. Extended games heavily favor Rengar, 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 Rengar reaches their scaling breakpoints. If Rengar 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.
