Start off 
and 3 
Duskblade or Ghostblade first item I switch it up depending on the matchup.
Duskblade usually by default but with the recent nerfs it might be better to get Ghostblade
for the roaming purposes.

Black Cleaver to shred high armored targets and help with you live longer.
You don't need to go Dominiks or Mortal Reminder every game however
with the stopwatch meta most ADCs opt for an early Guardian Angel
so going those items might be beneficial based on your opponents

VS
Ahri
Easy
Really easy to counter her ultimate can't hit you
while you are invisible so her burst damage
gets cut in half unless she gets a pink.
VS
Akali
Medium
A good 
will just farm till 6 and is really hard to trade with however with a 
should be rather easy to trade with her.
VS
Anivia
Medium
Anivia can be really easy to burst but
her egg makes it so you can't kill her.
When I find myself fighting an Anivia I
usually roam more. It is possible to kill her
but the enemy jungler always seems to not let
me. Dodge 
and you might have a chance.
and you might have a chance.VS
Annie
Medium
I find Annie in lane to be super annoying since they buffed her q to give her lower cd's when she kills a target and also the full mana refund is super op. Try roaming.
VS
Azir
Medium
Azir's poke is really annoying but they usually rush Nashor's so their defenses are really low making them easy to burst at 6.
VS
Brand
Easy
Very easy match up when he goes to combo you can just Cutthroat behind him to dodge his stun. Then bipbopbam dead.
VS
Cassiopeia
Medium
You can dodge her 
with your E if timed right but her poke is too much.
VS
Cho'Gath
Hard
Its not too often you see a Cho'Gath mid but
if you do you will most likely lose his skillset
is built around countering casters.
Try to bait the silence is the best advice and not
get hit it lasts like 3 seconds and you won't be able to do
your combo.
VS
Diana
Hard
Diana can be really difficult to deal with.
She has a shield that blocks your Rake harass,
a double gap closer, and a knockback/pull which can
hit you even when you ult.
Try to bait Moonfall and you might be able to kill her.
VS
Fizz
Medium
I hate this match up personally because your silence is gone now giving the 
time to hop on his staff to dodge your ult/rake. Bait the Trickster and you should win. If you're having a hard time dodging sharks 
drops sharks immediately which is half his burst.
VS
Gragas
Medium
Too tanky just farm and roam.
VS
Karthus
Easy
Very weak early game just rake harass while killing minions don't take too much counter harass and then all in at 6.
VS
Kassadin
Easy
Your silence out ranged his silence...play it right with your combo and make sure to bait his ultimate before going in because he can easily Riftwalk out of the 2nd half of your ult.
VS
Katarina
Easy
She'll most likely Shunpo away from you when you Cutthroat to her try to bait it out and if she ults abuse your movement speed from your ult to run away.
VS
LeBlanc
Medium
She will out burst you rush to survive at level6. You can farm way harder than she can try to harass as much as possible. \
VS
Lissandra
Hard
She can ult herself during your combo now that your silence is gone. Better off roaming versus her IMO.
VS
Malzahar
Easy
Combo him before he gets a chance to ult you make sure you poke him down enough with Rake before going all out if you get ulted and his jungle is around you're fucked. You can break 
with .
VS
Orianna
Easy
Can be difficult sometimes but if you play it right and bait the ult should be no problem. Remember if you're low and think she's going to ult you can always jump to an enemy minion with your Cutthroat or to 
herself and combo her then use the stealth and movement speed from your ult to retreat to safety.
VS
Syndra
Medium
Her poke is really annoying early game and she will most likely rush 
So Jump on her and combo her before she can ult you. Be wary of how many balls she has out. If she's giving you trouble a can be quite useful in surviving her burst.
VS
Twisted Fate
Easy
Twisted Fate's main purpose is to push his lane with his q and then use his ult to roam and gank for people. You basically do the same thing with your Rake and 
the only difference is that you can kill 
outright in lane with just one combo. If he's rushing that's a good thing it means he won't have 
for ganks so he'll be really slow if he does gank.
VS
Veigar
Easy
You can 1shot him easily with your combo. Also you can Cutthroat to him or a minion to get out of stun circle.
VS
Viktor
Medium
Viktor is hard to face sometimes because
of his stun. If he is smart he'll drop it
right before you jump on him and he'll stun
you. Just try to farm till mid-game when
your ult is level 2 you can take him no
problem.
VS
Vladimir
Easy
Just gotta wait to do your combo try to make him
waste his pool early with Rake harass and make it
seem like you're going to jump on him.
VS
Xerath
Easy
Who even is this champion? Deleted!
VS
Yasuo
Medium
Yasuo can be challenging if he knows when to Windwall. If you jump on him and he WIndwalls you'll lose most of your damage and he'll us his dash to chase you down. If you bait the Windwall you win the fight.
VS
Zed
Medium
Zed is naturally tankier and has more AD but bait his Shadow and if he doesn't have a pink ward and he 
just 
and doge his 
and reposition for a counter engage.
VS
Ziggs
Medium
is very strong early game because of his low cooldown on his q and his autoattack passive. Also with a he'll do tons of damage. If you aren't careful of when you jump on him he can just satchel away and leave you in his minefield for free harass. Bait him out a little.
Tactics Back to Top
Talon is pretty cut and dry when it comes to tactics.
Mainly poke with your Rake while last hitting with it.
When you get them half jump on them and do your
combo and boom dead its that simple.
Although, if you know you can't one burst
someone use your ultimate to run in front of
your target and wait for your Noxian Diplomacy to
come off cooldown for the takedown.
Look for opportunities to leave your lane to gank
for others, sometimes its better to secure kills for
your team rather than cs. Focus the ADC every fight
there is no doubt you can one burst them unless they
have GA but even then you can bring them down to a sliver of health
and force them to back out of the fight.
Don't forget to use your Cutthroat to jump to people or
minions to help escape ganks without having to bust Flash.
I prefer to use Flash as an offensive tool/gap closer rather
than using it to run away.
