View detailed statistics below: items, runes, and counter builds for Yasuo Mid vs Talon Mid in patch 15.18 (25.18), including win rates and pick rates. With proper study, this can improve your chances of victory up to 59.6% in this matchup.
Yasuo dominates the meta (1st most popular, 8.7% pick rate) and regularly clashes with Talon (1.8% pick rate). Understanding this common matchup forms the foundation of consistent gameplay for one of mid lane's current powerhouses. Optimize for consistency: Grasp of the Undying paired with Demolish (54.5% win rate, 5.5% popularity) provides the stats you need, while the item sequence Kraken Slayer > Immortal Shieldbow > Infinity Edge with Berserker's Greaves delivers 59.6% win rate against Talon.
Lane dominance: Yasuo not only wins the matchup but crushes CS (7.79/min vs 6.32 for Talon). This 1.47 CS/min advantage generates significant gold leads that compound your already favorable position. Quality over quantity: Yasuo wins through smart play rather than raw damage - despite lower DPS (674 vs 869/min), the 52.0% win rate shows superior utility, positioning, and team fight impact. Intriguing anomaly: Yasuo wins the matchup (52.0%) despite a lower KDA (1.60 vs 2.30). This suggests you win through macro influence and clutch plays in key moments rather than consistent individual performance.
The Yasuo versus Talon matchup in the mid lane is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.
Except for rare builds, Yasuo deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Talon deals mainly physical damage (90.09%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.
An important advantage of Yasuo is higher farming statistics (ranked 4th among role champions) (versus 40th for Talon), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.3 versus 1.6) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Yasuo player to maintain constant pressure on Talon, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
