Talon vs LeBlanc

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Talon is a medium lane pressure AD assassin who wants to push to create roam opportunities and use E for map mobility.
Talon must deny LeBlanc a calm scaling lane by applying wave pressure and avoiding staying visible for long to reduce her burst threat.

Trading pattern

Start trades by landing W and threatening Q follow-up to apply passive bleed.
Punish LeBlanc if she uses LeBlanc W to engage and misses by following up aggressively.
Respect LeBlanc E root by maintaining spacing and avoid committing if it's available.

Danger windows

Talon is vulnerable when LeBlanc's LeBlanc W is available for burst and repositioning.
Avoid extended visible trades when Talon's Q dash is down, as it limits escape and follow-up.
Be cautious if forced to farm under tower without E mobility, as LeBlanc can punish with combos.

Early game

Use level 2 Q plus W to pressure LeBlanc and establish early poke damage.
Avoid extended trades before level 6 as LeBlanc's burst with W and chains can punish mispositioning.
Push the wave early to force LeBlanc under tower and limit her ability to set up combos.

Power spikes

Talon's major spikes are level 2 with Q plus W pressure, level 6 R burst and stealth, and first lethality item.
Respect LeBlanc's level 2 burst with Q plus W or E and her level 6 LeBlanc R for burst combos.
Talon should look to trade when his R is up and LeBlanc's key abilities are on cooldown.

Win conditions

Push the wave to deny LeBlanc safe farming and create roam opportunities using E.
Use R for stealth and burst to punish LeBlanc when her mobility spells are on cooldown.
Exploit LeBlanc's low waveclear by maintaining lane pressure and forcing her into unfavorable trades.
