Between Nocturne and Hecarim, which jungler would be the easier to pick up out of these two for a player new to jungling?

Their both easy, but I would choose hec since he has better presence early. Although try j4, ww, panth, and vi.

It depends mostly on the playstyle you want. Nocturne Passive gives him decent AoE and sustain. His q gives him good early attack speed versus camps. His spellshield allows him to enter a lane and requires more than 1 cc to delay him. If you manage to fear a target in lane you almost have a certain successful gank. Hecarim Has very good jungle clear with two AoE abilities. Can use his charge to get across the map faster or to force a gank. Generally if the enemy is pushed up and you charge, you can still catch them even through wards. Though you can be cc'ed when charging in, and you knock somebody back that you hit instead of completely disabling them.

The short of that, they both can get through the jungle without a ton of trouble and have decent ganks.

The champions ultimate abilities are what really differentiate them.

Nocturne Can dive an opponent from far away or jump past the enemy frontline when in a teamfight, attempting to assassinate a high priority target.

Hecarim Dashes into the enemy team and fearing them. He can potentially interrupt an entire team, which gives him the ability to completely turn a team fight much like an ult from Annie or Orianna .

These abilities also reflect how the champions are generally built, with nocturne building some damage to take out a target and have a little defense while hecarim generally builds decently tanky so that he can initiate the fights.

So, do you want to be an assassin that can take out a high priority target? Nocturne is a good choice. Do you want to potentially turn an entire teamfight with one well placed ability? Try hecarim.

Nocturne is an assassin and duelist at heart, while hecarim is an AoE teamfighter.

Hope this helps!

If you are new to the jungle, go with Nunu or Warwick.

Vi Is probably one of the easist junglers and shes very strong atm she would be a good pick up, Jungle is a pretty easy role to learn too seeing as you wont have another player in your face all game trying to out skill you :)

honestly hecarim would probably be a bit easier of ht e two to pick up, but that being said there are junglers that are easier to pick up and play for getting into xin zhao is an example of this voli bear is also a good jungler to start with as he has very easy clears with his 3ish second fear to creeps.

I would argue Xin Zhao is the easiest Jungler to do well with if you're going to learn it. He has a well rounded kit which can make the learning curve for Jungling a little softer.

Plus IIRC, he's cheaper then the two you mentioned.
