Lux Jungle is so strong

Especially with the new Jungle changes kite junglers don't even take damage. She was always an extremely strong jungler for those that understand how to play it...and I had seen it more often that any jungling champ than say udyr/shaco over the past few years and never really got why it did SO well (10+ kills NO DEATHS). Then I tried it myself, runic + mejais = gg. It is just so absurdly good. SO easy to counter Jungle and CAMPS a duo or solo lane under their turret. You DO need a high lane pressure team comp though. I've even done it DOUBLE JUNGLE and camped boy WITH our other jungler and the enemy team can literally do nothing 3v4 (us 3 them 4). I mean it is much much stronger and snowballs harder than lanning. She has a few Jungle counters but it is unlikely you will come up against Jungle morgana or Jungle lulu/janna in ranked or blinds honestly (crushing defeat when you do though). She fits very nicely into the double jungler META. And is viable bronze-platinum (vs diamond players too). Dunno about challenger where the game becomes completely different. But in the very different META of bronze-plat she climbs good. But on the other hand...I don't think I've lost more than a few games with her (re: /rip morg jungles) on my lux account, so this may just be she is very good in general and I am a bit lucky (I NEVER get grouped with 'META sheep' so everyone on team always fully knows their champ and can play it anywhere/any circumstance).

Duo Jungle Tip: two medium speed clear junglers (like lux + scion) means both junglers always have Jungle to farm even when not heavy counter jungling, she does not pair with a hyper speed clear like hecarim (though both do still get fat off of lane pressure and runic smite > exhaust and your bot lane and yourself still tend to be 1 level ahead of enemy bot lanes. And enemy team NEVER gets Jungle objectives).

A squishy mage jungler with poor early clears you say?

Shyvana Pardon me, I'm going to borrow the other side of your camps.

Rengar Pardon me, I'm going to borrow both sides of your camps.

Khazix Hello, are you part of the camps? I'll farm you regardless.

I feel like the mage jungle potential has kind of shifted negatively because of the changes to Raptors and Krugs. It's hard early but after the first few levels still gets pretty efficient to what it normally would feel like. I've seen Karma attempts actually. One of the only real challenges that has risen for her was the choice of Mantra when dealing with the larger mass camps. I've recommended Q for those camps for clear and W for the buff camps or Gromp. Less harassment to lose the health gained.

Who says other account says smurf says probably low level not reliable game stats. Unless your smurf was ranked plat+, but you didn't give any link for us to witness jungle lux' effectivness.
