Uhh could it be that... you could jungle with almost EVERY champ now?

Sure, some picks are still outclassed by the plague of Sated Devourer, but seriously. I just won a jungle Orianna game. Before, my jungle mains have been Singed (AP/HP with Runics) and Lissandra.

Marksmen and Fighters have always been able to jungle somewhat well, tanks also due to their ganking power. There was only one class left out-

item 1402 + item 2032 seems to make most mages somewhat able to jungle. Also, some AP assassins I guess.

The only problem with thsi right now is the snowball meta. Since you can't gank very early you have to trust your laners to not lose the game before you hit level 6 - because then your ganks can be devastating as most mages have cc and damage in their kits, plus mostly AoE damage to help with the clears. Seriously, level 6 Liss ganks are like Warwick ganks on steroids! O_O

New champions that might be ABLE - not necessarly better than the current top picks, but who can do stuff - right now could be:

Ahri Akali Annie Brand Heimerdinger Katarina Leblanc Lissandra Lulu Morgana Orianna Rumble Ryze Swain Veigar Velkoz Viktor

Sure, you have to kite jungle camps around a little and you have to be EXTREMLY cautionous when it comes to enemy counterjungling. Some of these above I have tried already woth success (Lulu for example), some I have seen being brutally OP on other palyers (Rumble in this case) the rest is speculation, but I tried to include everything that seems reasonable with either gapclosers and/or cc.

Now, if we could tone the top jungle picks down a little, this season might potentially be the most diverse jungle in the history of league...

Orianna jungle I don't see possible at all honestly..

I've done Rumble jungle, it's actually pretty fun and viable if done right. I've done it only 5 times though

She can.... clear. It's not very fast, but you max shield and bring AS runes and she makes it through. You don't have time to do anything else though.

She can also gank with her ult. It just requires your laner to bait them out a little.

Just imagine it like you roam from mid, with the difference that you come from the jungle...

She clears too slowly to be a lv6 ganker. She's much much better at setting up ganks from the lane than coming in to perform them.

I've played Ori in every position, and jungle and support are her weakest. She has the capability, but doesn't do a lot.

Nope, ANYONE could jungle in Season 5 with purple trinket. Now in S6 it's pretty impossible to jungle with most champions. You'll get way too far behind on clears.

Clearing the jungle and actually jungling aren't the same things.

Farm Speed Ganking Potential Ability to contest dragon Being able to SOLO dragon early is pretty useful

It's like saying "well I took X champion top and didn't feed" Yes, but it doesn't mean they are good in that lane.

However, many mages have GODLIKE ganks. Especially the cc heavy ones. My best jungler is lissandra, so... I think I know what I'm talking about here ^^

Lissandra probably does. Her cc and mobility are pretty good. I don't know what her clear is like, but at lv 3 she should be gank ready.

The first one is painful and a hard leash is recommended. I also recommend going back at 250 g and upgrade to hunters potion. It's still going to be a bit annoying until you get runics, but you can gank with your root and slow then already...
