Ah, being unranked explains it. The thing is, skill matchups require your opponent to be skilled, and you will probably not find skilled unranked players (no offence). Fizz is a skill matchup that is in Talon's favor early. Yes, Fizz can dodge Rake with his troll-pole, but Talon's w has a lower cooldown early, and costs less mana. Also, when Fizz uses his Urchin Strike to engage, Talon can silence Fizz befoe he uses Playful/Trickster. Lastly, Talon can dodge Fizz's shark with his e. However, Fizz gets the advantage after laning phase. Captain Teeto is annoying because he is a lane bully, and Talon's early game isn't too good against people that can poke him down. Teemo is not a skill matchup, he's just annoying to play against.

As for the build, it's not too bad (reminds me much of how I used to build Talon), but I personally like this one way better (http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/the-new-talon-336414). Tri-Force works with Talon, but it isn't optimal for him. It gives him worthless AP, and the AD that he gets is pretty low. Also, you won't be making much use of the spellblade passive in a teamfight because you usually only do two auto attacks in a full combo.

He isn't too hard to play, but you need skill to make the most out of him. Infact, I remember getting a pentakill on my second game with him.
