Talon vs Shaco Matchup Summary

The Talon vs Shaco matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 34 recent matches analyzed, Talon wins with a 55.9% win rate compared to Shaco's 44.1%, giving Talon a 11.8 percentage point advantage. Talon dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Shaco players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential.
