Laugh at me all you want

Cuz I try to break the meta by doing stupid combinations (just did top lane Evelynn and after I died 2 or 3 times to Wukong (and many more times, cuz he was fed from ganking me with his bff Shaco) I proceeded to run head on into the team and gank someone or other before getting focused). My little after game rant for the way queue teams 6 and 8 treated me (I had to take 12 tries at an unrated blind pick 5v5 rift).

Now my question- I am almost at 3150 IP (so I can buy one at 3150 for below question). I stated this question a bit back but just for reference without going through history- I own all champions with IP prices below 3150 and almost all the ones in 3150 (missing a few, ~5). Who can I jungle with besides Evelynn (fun as she is)? Can I jungle with Ahri, Blitzcrank, Heimerdinger, Jinx, Nidalee, Karthus, Master Yi, or Veigar? I like using them, but is it possible?

Also, what items do I start out with? Because I somehow end up dying every single time to the first camp, then I have to go kiss dirt while I siphon experience off another lane so I can jungle then gank. I grab Smite and Hunters Machete, and everyone of my choices die.

TL;Dr?----Written in haste, may not make sense.

Master Yi would be your best bet to jungle with. He's and easy champ that can clear the jungle easily. I would recommend looking up some VODs on jungling or watching a jungler stream for a bit to see the routes they use and the kind of information and knowledge it takes to jungle effectively. It isn't just about having smite and machete, anyone can take that summoner and buy that item. Some champions just synergize better with how jungle clearing works and the concept behind what makes a good gank.

Also, playing things that you find fun is great, but just saying "I like to break the meta" is a cop out. If you had a bad game, think about what you did wrong and what you could have done better. Ignore the hate or flame you get in the game, just mute the people and report at the end of the game. The only thing you accomplish by ranting back and complaining is getting yourself reported (and actually deserving the report). Reading through what you said, I'm getting a lot of anger and just a lot of concern for things outside of the game and improving. Worry less about other peoples opinion of what you are playing and focus on your own play. You can't control the actions of your team, you do nothing but waste time by getting upset about it.

Thanks for the tip. The game went well (victory), it was just queueing and people not willing to let me try my idea out (weird as it was). But yea, I will do what you advise. Seems like it will work.

Karthus can jungle. He's like fiddles.

Yi can obviously jungle. He's mainly a jungle champ.

Blitz can jungle albeit badly.

Heimer, yi, Karthus, Blitz, and probably Nidalee can all jungle.

Karthus is like fiddles, without the safety. Yi is yi, Nidallee can heal, making her jungle safe but blue reliant, and Blitz can, but he needs runes to do it with any sort of effeciency and his clear times are not good.

Heimer I know can, but is different. You use the turrets to tank a hit or two, but jump in front before they die. Jumping in and out helps keep the mob distracted while the turret still has health, decreasing the total amount of attacks they use. This way you can have the constant damage without having to tank the whole of the camps attacks. Try to get the camp lumped together, so the lazer can hit them all.

His jungle clear time and safety depends on you mastering that practice, as you can have pretty safe and quick clears if you do it right, but slow and dangerous clears if you do it wrong. His ganks are meh, unless you can sneak up behind them and set up a blockade of turrets behind them. However, he can potentially out CJ some of the better CJ'ers like Elise and Lee early on, depending on the situation. He is a little blue reliant, but overall not too terrible, as his turrets only cost 10 mana now, and are more CD gated than anything.

Also, if all of your choices die, what masteries are you taking? Make sure that you are taking the jungle masteries, as they can REALLY help your clears. Also, take a look at your runes. It might make some sense to get some defensive runes for earlygame, if you are having survivability issues.
