How to Play Talon in ARAM Mayhem

You are a flanker. Stay out of the opening trades, then use Shadow Assault (R) to slip in once the enemy has spent their crowd control, and Noxian Diplomacy (Q) onto a backline carry. Land Rake (W), Q and the ult blades before attacking so Blade's End (passive) makes the target bleed. Hubris and The Collector reward picking off low targets, and Shadow Runner adds speed for getting in and out.
