Talon vs Vex Matchup Summary

The Talon vs Vex matchup is essentially a coin-flip matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 18 recent matches analyzed, Talon wins with a 50.0% win rate compared to Vex's 50.0%, giving Talon a 0.0 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Talon controls the early laning stage, but Vex outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Talon needs to press advantages before Vex reaches their power spikes, while Vex should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Vex leads by 1.0s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Talon has a statistical edge, but the margin is close enough that respecting Vex's strengths is important. Trade when cooldowns are favorable, track the enemy jungler, and build toward your strongest item spikes to convert the slight advantage into a decisive lead. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Farming
6.4Talon
6.3Vex
Talon and Vex farm at nearly identical rates in this matchup, with only a 0.2 CS/min difference. Neither champion holds a meaningful farming advantage, so lane dominance will come from trading and jungle interaction rather than CS leads.
Damage
749Talon
939Vex
Vex heavily out-damages Talon by 191 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Talon should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Vex's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
12,561Talon
12,531Vex
Talon and Vex generate nearly equal gold per game, with just a 30 gold difference. Neither champion has a clear economic advantage, so gold leads will depend on individual play quality, kill participation, and objective contributions.
Utility
0.1Talon
1.1Vex
Vex brings significantly more crowd control than Talon, with 1.0 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Vex far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights. Talon should invest in tenacity and position carefully to avoid being chain-CC'd.
Sustain
794Talon
565Vex
Talon vastly out-sustains Vex, healing and mitigating 228 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Talon can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Vex is forced to recall. Building grievous wounds early is essential for Vex, and focusing on burst trade patterns rather than sustained fights is critical.

Best Talon Build Against Vex

Crimson Lucidity is the optimal boots choice against Vex, providing the mobility and stats Talon needs most in this matchup. The top-performing core items for Talon against Vex are Opportunity, The Collector and Edge of Night. This combination gives Talon an effective balance of damage, survivability, and utility for the matchup.

Talon dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 57.1% win rate — a 14.3 percentage point lead over Vex. This lopsided early game means Talon can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Vex is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 54.5% win rate — 9.1 points above Talon. Extended games heavily favor Vex, 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 Vex reaches their scaling breakpoints. If Vex 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.
