How are champion matchup win rates calculated?

Win rates are calculated from thousands of ranked games in Emerald+ elo on the current patch. Data is sourced from OP.GG and updated regularly.

What does a 55% win rate matchup mean?

A 55% win rate means Champion 1 wins 55 out of every 100 games against Champion 2 in ranked. Anything above 52% is considered a favorable matchup.

Do matchup win rates change every patch?

Yes. Champion buffs, nerfs, item changes, and meta shifts can all affect matchup win rates. Our data updates with each new patch.

Should I always pick the counter champion?

Not necessarily. Comfort and experience on a champion often matter more than counter-picking, especially below Diamond. A 2-3% win rate difference is easily overcome by champion mastery.

What rank is the matchup data from?

All matchup data is sourced from Emerald+ ranked games to ensure the data reflects skilled play. Lower elo matchups can differ significantly.

How to Play This Matchup

Early Aggression

Talon needs to punish Vladimir before they scale. Zone them off CS levels 1-5 and look for solo kills before first back. If Vladimir reaches 2 items even, you're in trouble.

Mixed Resistances

Talon deals AD damage while Vladimir deals AP. Build resistances accordingly Ã¢â‚¬â€ don't stack the wrong type.

Hit and Run

Talon needs to combo and back off. Don't stay in extended trades against Vladimir's sustained damage. Short trades, then disengage.

Range Advantage

Vladimir has range advantage. Talon should look for short trades when Vladimir uses abilities on the wave. Freeze near your tower and wait for jungle help or an all-in window.

Exploit Vladimir's Weakness

Vladimir's main weakness: Early game weak, grievous wounds, hard engage pre-pool. Play around this to maximize your advantage.

Talon Win Condition

Wall hop roams, first blood king, snowball through kills
