^If it turns to that you must follow the APC, then you'll be out of luck...Talon's strength is in the early/mid game (not to say his late is bad...just harder to survive). By responding reactively you're letting the APC get farm and levels...unless you can predict the switch but even then if you have a level or 2 over their top....

So to counteract such a situation...ask for jungler gank. Talon just needs a kill or 2 to snowball...easier against APC, but still doable vs bruisers...just need ganks. I've beaten Malphite and Lee Sin in lane before...though maybe they were just terribad.

And actually...I wouldn't say Talon outright loses to Jax, Jax's strength is his dueling ability but Talon doesn't duel; his damage comes in bursts, and sustain is meaningless if Talon bursts more than can be healed up.
