Jungle Renekton

I have been trying to find a new meta jungler for some time now, and think I have found my prospect. Renekton has higher sustain than most junglers right now with his Rage Q. I have found his clear times to be quite fast and increasingly faster. He is naturally tanky, especially with his ult and has great cc, that can set up other cc from your laner or for them to get all their damage off, with a Rage W. He can close gaps by dashing through minions and dash AGAIN to get even closer to them enemy. He is an excellent bruiser after buying Ravenous Hydra and Warrior enchanted Stalker's Balde into varying full tank. You can also buy Cinderhulk if your team NEEDS a tank because your top laner refused to go tank in champ select, and you know they only think about their lane and pick whoever they want most of the time -__- . So the reason I am writing this request is because I would like to see this promoted in maybe a Dark Horses guide. Also it would be awesome to know that I contributed to the League community to help gameplay and increase diversity in jungle champs.

I love being a jungler, constantly trying to figure out new ways to do it instead of the solo lane same old song and dance. I've been curious about Rene jung too as I've never really played him much but I still want to try

The problem with Renekton jungle is he scales mostly off of gold. And unless you gank a lot of stupid people and get fed early, you'll fall behind both in levels and gold farming the jungle.

That, I believe, is the main reason you don't see many of them.

In order to succeed in the jungle, you need some either a good amount of CC or some form of "free stats" in your kit. Renekton doesn't have many free stats.

I haven't played him, but I bet his fury is difficult to maintain from the jungle to gank a lane.

Yeah no. Renekton is not a viable jungler. Period. Renekton scales almost entirely off of gold. And even as a top lane with all that gold he doesnt scale well. He has just poor stats, poor late game, and pretty much poor everything. Hes strictly an early game lane bully. That sort of turns into a really shitty tank late game. His ganks are terrible as you wont have enough fury from the jungler to the lane to use any of the empowered abilities. You have rather shitty cc for somebody trying to jungle as well.

Honestly hes not cut out for the jungle. Hell hes not even cut out for top lane right now. Considering he loses to every single top tier top lane champ right now by a fuck ton. Hes a barely average top lane champ that has one of the hardest fall offs in damage and usefulness in League of Legends once a game reaches past 30 minutes. If a champ already has massive fundamental problems in the lane they are supposed to be in then usually bringing them to the jungle isnt a good idea.

Gold income points aside Renekton doesn't mechanically do well in jungle because you cannot have rage ready for a gank without using your ult. If you're looking to try some weird off-meta junglers try:

Lissandra Singed or Gragas

I have played a few games where I have gotten behind. So I did what you are supposed to do and split pushed and farmed jungle and helped my team whenever i could pull something off. After that I got my items and won the game with my team. Not carried because my team wasn't even doing well, in fact they were feeding for the longest time. Besides most junglers also need gold early, including shaco hecarim and kha'six. He still does massive damage to squishy enemies, who you are supposed to target anyways. His fury is not a problem because he generates a lot in the jungle. If you are waiting in the bush for a gank long enough for you to lose all your fury, most likely you are not a smart ganker and are just losing exp and gold by wasting time.
