Alternative Junglers to Nunu

TheElephant47j·Sep 22, 2018·1 votes·1,833 views

Hi all,

I'm pretty new to league. I started playing a little over a month ago and am getting close to level 30. I play Nunu pretty well for where I'm at (about 60% win rate), but I haven't found as much success with any other junglers. I want to try out ranked when I can, but don't want to be a Nunu OTP.

Are there any other junglers that are similar to him in play style?

---More info--- Champions tried and issues with them: Kindred - I can't seem to close out kills/ make poor decisions on when to go in on fights/ganks. Ivern - Just too squishy. Nautilus - I do okay but often fall behind in cs early on.

I also do well with a mid Lux.

Any advice/ help is appreciated.

Thanks

Have you given Warwick a shot? He's not quite as objective control oriented as nunu, but his Q heals him and he's got decent CC and tankyness, and like nunu his play pattern is generally about jumping into the enemy team and ccing who you can. He stays very healthy while clearing the jungle, can take dragons early much like nunu, can gank pre 6 (though ganks are much stronger post 6).

I think I tried him once when I first started and didn't do well because I had no idea how to jungle. haha. I'll definitely give him another shot though. Thanks for the recommendation.

Hecarim Udyr Skarner Rammus Volibear all come sprinting out of the jungle at “incredible hihg speed” like Nunu.

Sion Rengar and Olaf are added to this list after level 6, and Warwick requires the enemy to be low or it’s painfully obvious he’s ganking.

Awesome! Thanks. I think that high speed lane entry is really a large portion of what I miss when not playing Nunu. I'll start looking up these champs and trying them when I can/ have the BE.

Rammus Rammus and Udyr Udyr are probably the best on that list right now, if that helps. Rammus is faster, though.

Thanks. That does help. I've had my eye on trying both of them for a while. I'm probably going to go for them earlier now.
