Which jungler should I play?

Ok so i just started ranked, in my provisionals, and I noticed I really like to play Jungler. Before I had been playing Zed a lot but started to realise that I suck at farming and that I hate the laning phase because of farming, so I tried out support and Jungle, of which I liked jungle more. So at the moment I really enjoy playing Amumu because he just has the amazin q+ult to win a teamfight late. I also like XinZhao , MasterYi and Nunu jungle. I have now finally got enough IP to buy a new jungler, but am struggling to find one I would like to main (I like maining champs more than being a jack of all trades). So this would be my ideal champion, but it doesn't seem to exist D; Here are the things I would like in a champion, in order of nessesarity (Meaning that the bootom one would be nice, but are not nessesary in any way):

  • A dash that actually dashes to an area instead of an enemy (Or lots of mobility)
  • Some kind of strong AOE damage that is good in Lategame Teamfights
  • Strong(ish) Lategame
  • Manaless
  • Doesn't rely on AAs

I've tried Lee Sin, seeing that he is free atm, but didn't really enjoy him as his Lategame is quite bad and his only AOE spell is hie E and Ult, which are more Ultility-Based.

I am kind of afraid of Riven because of all those AA-cancelling things.

Vi, well, she kinda lacks the AOE damage and relies on her AAs to do DMG, which isnt that nice.

Just recommend stuff pls [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

There's very very little manaless champions for jungle Have you tried Gragas?

Honestly, while not manaless and somewhat autoattack reliant, I would recommend Nautilus . His Q can be used on terrain (which reduces its cooldown), he is a Crowd Control nightmare, and his shield, and E provide AoE damage, and his ult will hit all enemy champs if used right.

Jax might also be a good idea, albeit again neither manaless and still auto attack reliant.. He can 'dash/jump' to basically anything, his W will block autoattacks for an aoe stun, and he can go off-tank fighter for some insane damage, especially when paired with either item 3074 or item 3748 for the AoE you're looking for :P

Chogath is also quite strong right now, He's versatile in his roles, and relies mostly on landing his Q and W, and late game is incredibly hard to kill late game. Downside being reliant on landing his Q and/or W, in addition to not having a dash :/

Devourer is getting removed so I am going to bet that hyper carries such as MasterYi, XinZhao, Shyvana will fall out of favor

Idk, the "preferences" you have make it difficult to suggest champs, not that it's a problem, but these are merely my suggestions based on my own enjoyment and experiences :) I hope it helps

If you just noticed you like jungling....don't play ranked...you're gonna absolutely tank your winrate. Go to normals, play 100+ games in the jungle, then head back to ranked.

manaless is gonna be tough. but towards mid-game, mana shouldnt be too much of an issue. nor should it be too crazy if you start blue buff side. Have you tried EkkoEkko? His ult actually does decent aoe damage assuming you can aim it properly, and assuming youd want it for damage rather than repositioning. His late game isnt the best, but it isnt bad either.

Not sure how EvelynnEvelynn is late game anymore, but her aoe does decent damage and slows them if im not mistaken. If you enjoy zed, you'll probably enjoy her. No dash, but her W breaks slows and speeds her up, and she is CONSTANTLY stealthed. Slippery little wench, that one.

One more I can suggest is SejuaniSejuani. Her ult is amazing (well-aimed) and her W is constant aoe dmg for like 8 seconds I think, her E will trigger more aoe and slow, and her Q is a dash (skillshot, so use it wherever) which will knockup whatever it hits. And you get a viking on a boar-bear-monster thing. And she is really good late-game.

None of these are manaless, but it will be a really hard fit to find the rest of what you want AND manaless.

Zac Doesn't deal a lot of damage, but does a lot of AoE and disruption late game. Fills all your other requests. Akali Doesn't really fill the meta, and doesn't have ganking ability until 6, but fits the bill somewhat. Rumble No gapcloser, but clears really well and his ult is pretty beast.
