Passive buffs made it so he has an extremely fast clear, which is good because it lets him get straight to the ganking and focus on it.

That said he seems.. Not fantastic at it. His clears are strong, but he's a bit weak in the gank department imo; unless he gets fed. I've managed to counter jungle the absolute shit out of every one I've seen so far, so take it with a grain of salt.

I've played it long before this patch. It's crazy fun, especially to gank a lane with your ultimate and watch them panic as you pop out and make them sausage.

Not very; he's as niche as jungle Jayce and Ezreal, at least.

Only when he reaches level nine, otherwise, his clears are actually slow, and his ganks horribly lackluster, either being hard to aim at long range or rather telegraphed at short. Sure he can snowball, but most junglers do if they are given the opportunity.

I mean. Ezreal jungle got him gutted into the dirt. But he’s an adc and only allowed to exist bot so eh.

How?

How?

They removed double tear? That was the only thing making him playable in any role.

Not to mention his only wave clear (his ult) got it’s damage reduced on minions. So he has no wave clear, in a lane where wave clear is one of the most important things.

I KNEW you were going to say that; there was a perfectly good reason actually. Too much power, spam, stacking, shield and it was NOT intended by the makers. It was the fact it was abused like it was that the tears were nerfed that way. You should be thankful they realized the real issue and did NOT touch Ezreal.

You realize he is weak as shit now right? 46-47% winrate depending on what site you check.

Also YOU asked how they killed mid Ezreal. I gave you the answer. :/

You would think that a bionetically-augmented killing machine on mechanical legs would be an easy thing to see coming in the jungle...it seems the fog-of-war deafens all sound in the jungle as well.

This post was just a meaningless ramble. Lulu

As meaningless and pointless as jungle Urgot?

Delusions about clear speed and ganking potential is my guess; everyone is overestimating them, especially in the early game.

The thigh guyMar 30, 20191 votes

He’s basically being picked jungle because the pick is so unbelievable broken, that he is 100% pick/ban/lose

What's more scary being dragged into the visionless dark jungle?

Seeing your screen go dark from a Nocturne jungle and wondering which poorly positioned ally is about to feed him another kill, but not knowing which.

Then you get sniped into the further darkness while your team only sees the tether before your demise.

I played him JG before the nerfs, after it wasn't possible. With the last change, it is again.

He's not a super fast clear like some here are saying. In fact, I'd say he's on the low end of the current meta. He has REALLY GOOD ganking potential, but it requires you to nail it, skillshot show (Q has to hit for W to prioritize champ) and the R skillshot slow is nice too. The E is a GREAT gank tool.

Overall he's an amazing jungler IF you can pull him off, and very safe, he can really handle his own in the JG. But he's difficult to pull off well in ganks. High skill cap high reward jungler right now. Later game he can hold his own much better than most others, but his build path is really expensive.

Honeslty, he's just something a bit different than the usual suspects, and he's fun.

I've also done Rumble in the jungle and he's all right with me. Deceptively fast clear, but getting a handle on his heat control takes practice. I'd say we may see more of him if his ult buff comes through.
