Talon Jungle slipped from A to B tier in Patch 26.14. A drop like this usually traces back to direct nerfs, item changes, or a meta shift toward unfavorable matchups, so respect the counter picks more than you did last patch. At B tier, Talon works best as a counter pick or comfort pick rather than a blind pick.

Champion select decides a lot of Talon Jungle games. The hardest matchups this patch are Nocturne (49.3% win rate for Talon) and JarvanIV (50.0% win rate for Talon): consider banning one or holding your pick until the opponent locks in. On the other side, Naafiri (53.8%) and Graves (51.6%) are the matchups to look for, where Talon wins the lane more often than not at Emerald+.
