Talon vs Taliyah Matchup Summary

The Talon vs Taliyah matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 7 recent matches analyzed, Taliyah wins with a 57.1% win rate compared to Talon's 42.9%, giving Taliyah a 14.3 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Taliyah controls the early laning stage, but Talon outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Taliyah needs to press advantages before Talon reaches their power spikes, while Talon should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Taliyah leads by 1.2s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Taliyah 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 Taliyah 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.

Taliyah brings significantly more crowd control than Talon, with 1.2 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Taliyah far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights.

Sustain
811Talon
499Taliyah

Taliyah dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 60.0% win rate — a 20.0 percentage point lead over Talon. This lopsided early game means Taliyah can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Late game (25+ minutes) is equally balanced, with Talon at 50.0% win rate — only 0.0 points ahead of Taliyah. Team fight execution and macro play determine the winner at this stage, not champion matchup advantage.

The power dynamics shift as the game progresses — Taliyah has the edge early, but Talon 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.
