How to play it

Dodge his return W
Do not get hit by the return of his Rake: trade into him only when he's already used W on the wave.
Care his all-ins
Respect his level 2 and 6 all-ins: good Talons take Ignite and invade you early, and you can't outrun him.
Outvalue him
He's a bad jungler in general: if he doesn't get kills you outvalue him, so deny him and scale.
Never try to outrun him when he invades: you can't; keep your W ready to evade instead.
