I know we can Jungle with Teemo and Poppy. Hell, I've even used Gnar to jungle once. (Some success but overall impractical.)
Will we ever see a Yordle with the Jungle for their Primary?
I like Yordles. And I love the Jungle Role.
Will my dreams come to fruition?
(Okay, so Amumu aside. I would like to see a Yordle that fits the Yordle description as a Jungle Main.)

Arkhan3 votesAlthough Amumu can be considered a Yordle, it's not been officially confirmed that he is in fact a Yordle. And if he is, WHERE IS THE UNBANDAGED AMUMU SKIN!? Where are the sharp canines, bat ears, and FUR!?
Keldrew1 votesYes it has been officially confirmed. It was changed a while ago because the idea of him being a small mummified boy was really disturbing. Or at least that's what I've been told.
Arkhan1 votesAfter reading his lore, I stand corrected. BUT I STILL WANT A MORE YORDLE-LIKE JUNGLE! :(
Duke Anax2 votesHonest mistake though, I think he went from hummy boy to yordle mummy back to human as Azir's son and finally to Yordle Emperor.
Arkhan1 votesI just want all Yordles to look and feel like they belong to the same heritage. It would be neat to find out he was related to Azir in some way.
Duke Anax1 votesFinding out is the right word, I forgot they actually made the retcon cannon by saying "there are a lot of stories, but no one knows".
Arkhan1 votesYeah, its one of the most frustrating things about League to me. A lot of people could care less, but I really enjoy a story behind my champs.
And then the announced 'Lore Revamp' kinda just adds to that frustration.
Like, in the lore, 
has a story where he was being interviewed by a guy that interviewed all the League champs, and gives him so many questions, when he asks more, stabs him for each question he asked and leaves him to bleed out.
And thats crazy, but it ADDS to his craziness. Lore is important to me. Sorry for the novel.
V Khat6 votesThough this is the case, the RIOT staff stated during's Poppy's rework Q&A that there are only 11 Yorldes:
But with Amumu there are 12 yordles.
Skall1 votesLulu is not a Yordle, if memory serves me right.
Zane Zephyr7 votesShe sure is.
dunkeroni7 votesRiot probably intentionally forgot amumu. They like to do that.
The Yetii Rider1 votesAlthough Amumu can be considered a Yordle, it's not been officially confirmed that he is in fact a Yordle. And if he is, WHERE IS THE UNBANDAGED AMUMU SKIN!? Where are the sharp canines, bat ears, and FUR!?
Um...I know that mummification is a preservative, but he wouldn't still have fur after how long he's been dead, even if the bandages came off.
Poppy can easily be considered jungle primary. It's not Riot's fault people play her mostly top.
Generally someone is only "jungle primary" when they suck at laning. Why would Riot release someone intentionally bad at laning at this point in the game?
Arkhan1 votesReksai and Kindred were both released for the jungle. Although you could argue that Kindred can ADC, she is more suited to jungle if you look at her passive.
They aren't that old. And I disagree with your definition for Jungler. As the role is as important as any other laning role. They don't just release champs and say, 'This champ will be a good laner.' No. They break is apart and give them a primary use for the game. Whether that be a Ranged, Mage, Support, Tank, or Jungle.
The Yetii Rider2 votesKindred is an ADC, yes, but she was released for the jungle because she had stupidly high base stats which have been consistently nerfed. With her losing 7 armor next patch, as well as her on-hit heal, she'll probably be back in bot lane.
Rek'Sai, along with Kalista, Gnar, and Bard, are champions that were released specifically for the pro scene, and they all function insanely differently when in an organized team than they do when they are played in solo queue. I don't count those champions as being the same as a different 'primary' jungler like Rengar or Kha'Zix who simply can't lane because they have poor sustain and harass.
V Khat1 votesYes, she is most likely to waste all of her pots at the first buff making her unable to gank, just sort of like recall and go back in the jungle. She won't be suited for jungling, though she can go top as she has escapes, slows and her kit is for anti-tanks.
EndlessSorcerer1 votesEh, I could see it altering Kindred's jungle path, but I don't see it removing them from the jungle entirely.
I believe it is far more likely that Kindred will simply clear one side of the jungle, back to heal and purchase their other jungle component (Talisman or Machete), and then resume jungling normally.
It will weaken their early invades and skirmishing quite a bit, but I don't believe it will be that crippling at most levels of play.
EndlessSorcerer1 votesIt shouldn't be that bad.
I could see Kindred having to change their path (possibly clearing one side of the jungle and backing to heal and purchase their other jungle item), but I don't see them being forced out of the jungle.
I've been managing to jungle with Armor Pen Marks and Scaling Health Seals without any real issue, so I'll likely just have to change my runes if the nerfs hurt them too much.
The Yetii Rider1 votesYou're forgetting that the passive of Wolf's Frenzy is a drain, not just a heal. Kindred is losing a large spike of damage on their auto attacks with that passive being removed.
MavenSong4 votes can also Jungle (not a primary though)
Aeszarck1 votes
Yeah, Rumble jungle has become a thing pretty recently.
Ralanr3 votesRumble in the jungle!
Varus Vindicator1 votesI've been waiting years for this!
Curling Veigar4 votesamumu is a fuckass too and fuckass champions don't count towards these type of things
Arkhan2 votes[zombie-brand-clap]
LuluInWonderland1 votesJungle Rumble was a thing for a bit, and can still work now that they changed his Q damage to camps.
And yes, the sad mummy is a jg main.
Arkhan3 votesYes, but his primary is top laner. And its not been officially confirmed that Amumu is a Yordle.
LuluInWonderland1 votesYes, but his primary is top laner. And its not been officially confirmed that Amumu is a Yordle.
The official lore:
"Yet another story of Amumu tells of the first and last Yordle ruler of Shurima, who believed in the innate goodness of the human heart. To prove his detractors wrong, he swore an oath to live as a beggar until he made one true friend, convinced his people would rally to help their fellow Shuriman. "
So he was a Yordle that became a mummy. I would still call a mummified Yordle a Yordle, though.
the Anarchit3cht4 votesYou forgot the other parts where other stories described him as non Yordle. Nobody knows what he is, there's only legends and stories.
Duke Anax1 votesThey essentially made the retcon confusion cannon. Same with Rammus I think.
ElysMustache1 votes*canon
Umbra Ionia1 votesNo he isn't, or maybe yes. Nobody knows it, lore also says he can be a chill
Linna Excel1 votesWhat kind of jungler would it be though?
Arkhan4 votesI have a concept that I am working on. He's a Bat-Like Yordle that uses Sonar to silence and deal AOE damage, and has a Life Steal bite type move that helps him sustain in the Jungle.
TopLaneCantCarry1 votesDude you've obviously never seen Blood Razor Lulu
Arkhan1 votesYordle with a PRIMARY Jungle ROLE! lol.
Not Support or Mage. (Like Lulu)
BluePolarizer2 votesthere's no primary jungle. most junglers are fighters, tanks or now marksmen.
DarkRitual1 votesThe ole machine gun Lulu
WaterTribe1 votesOMG, how about a cute cupid kind of jungler. That is a marksmen type jungler with little white fluffy wings and in a diaper. He can also have a very annoying skill set for extra salt. Make a pacify field zone that stops all attacks and spells and we just share the love. OMG make him fly and flutter his tiny wings when running. <3
Arkhan1 votesYou've never played Smite I'm guessing. xD
WaterTribe1 votesYea I have! But Riot will make a cuter/better cupid.
Arkhan1 votesWe have that Cupid Varus skin. That's all we need. [slayer-jinx-catface]
EndlessSorcerer1 votesValentine's Day Teemo.
I am horrified and appalled.
LuxTaylor Swift 1 votesthis jungler I heard is some kind of digger he should make holes that are hidden like teemos shrooms that like teleport enemies
Darkslayer851 votesGnar jungle is really good.
I mained it for a while, then I started to use it only when my team needed a tank.
Arkhan1 votesI do like it, you can get some damn good ganks
