Everything for Talon Jungle on patch 16.11, pulled from real Emerald+ ranked games — the build path, rune pages, the counters worth banning, the strongest teammates, and Talon's win conditions.
Talon is an AD assassin in the jungle, and on patch 16.11 they grade out as a top-tier pick — a 51.8% win rate, 5.2% pick rate, 60,282 ranked games sampled. On the power curve, Talon spikes hardest in the mid game around the two-to-three-item mark — that is the window to force fights and objectives.
How Talon wins: roaming out of lane to snowball the rest of the map, and using Talon's mobility to catch isolated targets. The kit grades 9/10 roaming, 7/10 mobility. Play around where Talon is thin, engage and siege (2/10, 2/10), and the enemy loses their angle.
The most-played core build is Umbral Glaive, Voltaic Cyclosword, Youmuu's Ghostblade, which holds a 47.3% win rate across 1,392 games this patch. Item order and defensive swaps update against whichever enemy comp you select.
