Difficultly transitioning into other junglers

I've mained since my friend gifted me her and i was able to actually play her once i got smite and never looked back and now this season I've been actually trying to be more diverse, playing with other junglers but I never really pan out well with them.

I do okay with her but I never play her as often as I should because comfort jg maybe it requires faster thinking because assassins but i just never had the best time with them when it came to clearing camps I'm hit or miss with him cause I never really know how to build him I'm still meh when it came to skillshots plus his kit felt weird to me considering getting him since i got used to his kit from aram 2 kits in 1 champ always made it difficult for me to remember when to do what trying to improve kiting and have a bad time trying to gank lane when people know i'm coming (still want to try tho) Barely touched her since she was forced out of top lane

Can't remember any other junglers off the top of my head but feel free to drop advice for this since I'm used to being a bruiser jungler for eons but I want to better my gameplay for ranked

The hardest part is that every jungler is good, and every jungler is bad. It all sorta comes down to team comps and matchups.

I don't play ranked, but would like to at some point. I've played plenty of normals, custom games with friends, and just straight play junglers in general (even in the rotating modes). The champs "designed for the jungle" are somehow all my favorites.

What I've found is that what makes other junglers hard is the playstyle. Some are gankers, some are farmers, some are tanky, some are burst/assassin-y. The best tip I can give is find out what playstyle suits you best and then kinda stick with that champ until you feel pretty comfortable. Like for me, I love the engage-y and all-in type of junglers ( Zac , Hecarim , Skarner and RekSai are my mains). A lot of junglers can't do that though; they need to get in and get out, or escape, or wait on the backline until it's their turn to jump in.

Sound lame too, but even just go to a custom bot game and practice some new jungler to get a feel for their playstyle. It's worked for me fairly well before jumping into a PvP.

All in all, just figure out your playstyle, find a champ that fits it, figure out what matchups do and don't work with that champ, and then transitioning to other junglers/playstyles will be a lot easier!

I really hope that helps...sorta scatterbrainy and stuff...lemme know if it didn't make sense or if you have questions! I shall do my best to help haha.

I play a few of these as a jungle main, so ill see what I can help with.

Khazix His clears are actually one of the best. You are able to do a full clear without using any pots and are able to gank afterwards too. It doesn't take a lot of skill really to play him, but I can tell you it takes a lot of skill to be really good at him. He is really an experience and feel-for champion, and takes a lot of quick decision and mouse movement once you get good at him. His double jumps are hella hard at first.

LeeSin He really does rely in skill shots. What it comes down to is hitting skillshots, getting comfortable with ward jumps, and understanding how to insec using the cast time of your ult and flash.

Hecarim Hec is pretty straightforward. His clears consist of a little bit of mana management and a lot of Q spam, and his ganks are good if you can angle the fear on his ult. He is a safe pick and really good for a tank.

Elise Elise is tricky. Personally I pick up tricky champs well, but you REALLY need to be quick fingered to play her to her fullest. If you want to do your full combo in a gank, one combo for example is (human form starting) E+Q+W+R+Q+W, and saving your repel for if they flash away. She is an absolute monster if you are good at her, because her ganks are so easy once you are comfortable. It really comes down to muscle movement and some practice in some rhythm piano games xD.

I would recommend looking at build sites like Mobafire, LeagueofGraphs, and LoLking, if you want builds or masteries, and looking up youtube videos with the "past week" search filter if you want clears or gameplay.
