Kinda like taliyah where I can throw my spells from a distance or just AP in general like elise. also don't suggest Evelynn, I hate playing her, I can never play here late game when teams are team fighting and the charmed person just hides inside the team

There aren't any aside from Taliyah, since she's an outlier. Generally, having the safety of range when you're supposed to actually know when to go in during a gank isn't something Riot likes.

Eve and Elise are the best AP junglers rn

Eve and Elise are the only AP junglers right now. Diana doesn't jungle anymore. Fiddle doesn't jungle anymore.

Granted, Amumu builds AP, but that's more because tank items are terrible for junglers right now.

Yeah, all you got is Tallywhacker and Elise atm, sorry.

Also, Eve went from bad to not even a jungler tier with the last nerf so I wouldn't worry about anyone recommending her lol.

I'd say if you insist, Karthus would be the only other remotely viable AP jungler atm that can spellcast+AP from a distance. If you don't mind getting up in their faces Amumu with his Q can jump on em. He's a fun lil guy right now.

I almost forgot, Fiddle is also okay at the moment, but you gotta master him well.

Nidalee is actually really strong right now (like god tier) due to her ability to cancel almost all her animations but you better have challenger level mechanics. Like you can solo clear jg in time for scuttle if you perfect cancel all her animations (even challengers can't do that) But I've seen some top players get super close to doing it while canceling over half. I wouldn't recommend her unless you're literally top 1% of players in the game. If anyone ever fully masters her in pro play they'll have to fix all her animation canceling lol. If you get good enough it almost looks like she's floating though, which is kinda neat. Also, her auto attacks will be invisible unless you reduce to .5x speed in a replay.

If you're willing to drop the AP thing, Olaf has a nice axe toss, and graves and kindred are both ok.

Karthus and Fiddle are the only ones that really fit your criteria unless you have the reflexes and focus of a god. On that note, it's nice to see Fiddles back in the Jungle and off of support lately, as much as his fear pains my poor head as a JG I like to see a more normal jungle unlike the dumpster that Riot turned the bottom lane into.

Fiddlesticks Ivern ; while both are kind of awkward at jungling, they actually have pretty decent clear and both have something in their kit, which can stop people diving at you. However, I must say that both are kind of utility supports in jungle, so they don't really have good 1v1 potential. A Fiddlesticks ult ambush can win mos teamfights though, if done correctly.

You don't use charm late game since you don't need it to one shot, it just spots you and alerts the enemy.

That's why you don't like to play Eve.
