Talon

Talon is an AD assassin in the mid, and on patch 16.11 they grade out as a strong pick — a 51.5% win rate, 2.4% pick rate, 27,544 ranked games sampled. On the power curve, Talon spikes hardest in the mid game around the two-to-three-item mark — that is the window to force fights and objectives.

How Talon wins: roaming out of lane to snowball the rest of the map, and using Talon's mobility to catch isolated targets. The kit grades 9/10 roaming, 7/10 mobility. Talon grades low on engage and siege (2/10, 2/10), so don't take fights that turn on those dimensions.

The most-played core build is Youmuu's Ghostblade, Voltaic Cyclosword, Serylda's Grudge, which holds a 46.8% win rate across 662 games this patch. Set the enemy team at the top of the page to see how the path shifts against that comp.

The matchup to respect is Samira, where Talon sits at just 40.9%, the lane swings the other way into Pantheon (58.8%), and on the team side, Talon gains the most from a Galio (+11.5% pair win rate).
