A good entry level jungler would be Warwick or xin as they can clear pretty easily and have pretty simple kits.

That is because Elise is in a dogshit position right now specifically and broadly jungle is in a dogshit position because of the experience nerf.

Most jungle mains have left to be laners because jungling sucks. However I will say that going to Hec would be a smart move if you want to take the role seriously.

Jg main here, by far my favorite champ is j4… hes not hard to learn but he has so much versatility that you can learn how to do or play him with or against almost anyone, so the cap for him is near limitless. He's also very strong in the meta and if in competent hands is capable of hard carrying. Watch out for Jax though he's your hard counter on jarvan.

Easy champs to learn jg on that are meta would be Warwick, rammus, zin xhao, yi.

To a new jungle the best advice I could give you is to play some games on those easy camps so you can get the basics down, read jungle guides on the farm routes and builds for each champ. Then once you get a decent understanding switch over to a jungle that scales high with skill such as rek'sai, Lee sin, jarvan. They are so versatile as jungles that you can practically play them with or against any team, with enough experience they will let you really shine as a jungle. It will take more games to do decent with them but if you persevere it will be much more rewarding. I played easy champs for quite a long time and wondered why I couldn't advance or carry reliably, once I started to main jarv and rek I realized what I was missing. I wish I'd played more Lee sin. A good Lee sin is horrible to jungle against

Best tips I can give you to climb in jungle:

  1. Pick a champion that you are comfortable with. Learning how to play a difficult champion such as Elise can be overwhelming. She might even be outside of your skill range. Try picking something easier and learn the basic flow of the jungle position before taking on learning a new champion.

  2. Have 2-3 champions in your pool that you can reliably play well. Always play these champions. Being comfortable on your champion will go a lot further than trying to counter pick the enemy team comp.

  3. Do NOT try and gank a lane that is hard feeding. You don't do this for multiple reasons: first that laner will not carry the game. If they can't stop hard feeding the enemy they will not be any better because you gave them a kill. Second reason is it is a big risk. With the nerfs to jungle xp you are weaker than solo laners. If you go in for a gank on a risky lane it might even result in the death of both you and your ally.

  4. Consider watching some jungle youtubers such as foxdrop. He is good to understand some of the basic flows of the jungle position and what you should look out for.

  5. Lastly is: pick a champion that you enjoy playing. I personally play poppy jungle even though she is not a "Meta" pick. Poppy also cannot really hard carry either. But she is a really good enabler to allow her team to succeed. If you choose to pick someone a more carry type jungler, you need to be able to carry. That means your have to be very good at that champion. Carry type picks are little more high risk because if you fail to snowball you might become next to useless. Keep in mind that with xp and spawn timer nerfs junglers are on much more like a support type budget. Big items that Hecarim buys like triforce will take a very long time to complete. It is still possible but have a plan in place in case you don't start to snowball.
