I think it's pretty cool that ADC can now jungle

I think it'd be even cooler if we can incorporate some mages in there.

I'm thinking like Ahri Azir Kassadin Kennen Lissandra Leblanc Ryze Zilean Zyra all have potential to be really fun and strong junglers, but are unable to do so because of how difficult/impossible it is to viably jungle early on for them.

There are quite a few AP champs or mages who can jungle effectively, or at least semi-effectively.

Malz, fiddlesticks, the rest are assassins or struggle too much early on to viably jungle.

Obligatory AD Malz.

Brand doesn't do terrible in the jungle. It's rough until level 3, but after that he starts clearing at a pretty fair rate and can sustain himself by stunning the large monsters.

What I really want is for them to release an AP mage champion designed for bot lane with a support. They really need to try and blur the lines for that lane position and I think that once players see a mage designed for that lane they'll be more open to seeing older mages that need lots of farm going in that lane, like a ryze, cass, or kayle

That'd be pretty cool. As of right now, Katarina Kennen Leblanc Orianna Veigar Zyra Ziggs Anivia Karma Brand Azir Cassiopeia Velkoz are all fine bot lane carry mages.

I agree 100%, people need to stop thinking of bot lane as the 'adc + support' combo.

Brand Karma Zyra Ive had success with these 3 with runeglaive. I would imagine it would work even better with the new one.

I tried out Leblanc and Kass today. Leblanc was extremely difficult to get rolling and I'd say impossible to viably play considering how slow the early clears were and how often I had to back. Kass was much better early on, scaled into late rather well. Heavy reliance on blue though.

I tried Karma out once before with runeglaive, but was deemed a troll by my teammates so I didn't get a leash, and they stole blue buff from me as much as possible. And by stole I mean like they took my first blue after I used smite on gromp initially because I didn't get a leash, then continued to take it whenever it spawned if I didn't have smite. Was an awful experience.
