Does Ekko Jungle Still Work?

I play alot of Ahri and I'd like to try jungling. I thought Ekko would be a good choice because he has lots of mobility and is assasin like, I played him a lot mid, but not Jungle. I also heard that Ekko jungle wasn't viable anymore but that was before the new new jungle. So how would I play him? Is he still viable? And are there any other champions that would better suit the role?

The problem with Ekko jungle is that someone simply plays a better jungler than you. I'm serious, his clear is garbage, his early is garbage, and other junglers are simply more oppressive. If you want good high mobility junglers that are also assasins, try Graves , Shaco , and Nocturne . They fall off super hard though (except graves, he just gets a bit trickier to play). Tank junglers are good if you feel your teammates need to be babysat constantly/things will drag out to late while still having some pressure early, champs such as Hecarim , Zac , and even a niche pick I enjoy-Sion . op.gg and champion.gg is a good tier list if you wanna find good junglers. Have fun man!

P.S.:Don't let people tell you Twitch and Yasuo jungle work. It's does it's just kinda bad tbh

No because you'll give everyone in your games cancer from ez mode and not playing something that takes skill like Karthus jungle.

Do you like to be behind all game? Yes, ekko jungle works.

No it doesn't due to Rito nerfing the living fuck out of his early game. You have to go back after Red+Blue. Maybe even Red if your support did not tank it all.
