How to play it

Your window
Trade when he W-pokes off a minion Q. If he's on Conqueror, punish every W he throws at the wave.
His W rake
The W poke is his lane pressure. If he's on Electrocute instead, you can't out-trade: just farm and scale.
He roams
Talon push-roams over and over: ping your team the moment he leaves mid, or he snowballs the whole map.
Never chase him around mid: he just pushes and roams. You win by matching waves and calling his roams.
