Grey Talon Counters

Squishy backliners like Sinclair, Mina, and Venator hate a charged arrow that punishes them the moment they step out to trade in lane. Grey Talon's long-range poke wins those standoffs before they can pressure him, and his ult forces them to break position. The trouble comes against divers and burst threats like Seven, Victor, and Graves, who close the gap and delete him before he lands a clean shot. He wants space, and those heroes deny it. Draft tip: pick Grey Talon into fragile, poke-reliant lanes, and avoid him when the enemy has hard engage that reaches your backline.

Grey Talon wins 47.67% of matches overall (#28 of 38 heroes) since the Matchmaking Update. Its most favorable matchup is Silver at 53.65%; Graves is the toughest counter, holding Grey Talon to 42.10%.
