Are MS quints a bad idea for junglers?

darkdill··3 votes·256 views

I tend to use them as Warwick, Hecarim, Volibear, etc., both for map navigation and for keeping up with targets in ganks. But besides Hecarim (who wants MS quints for obvious reasons), is it a bad idea to take them?

I prefer attack-speed or armor on most junglers, depending on whether I want a faster or health clear.

Movespeed feel nice, but the raw stats that attack speed and armor give trump most other options imo.

I feel like it wouldn't be that bad on Hecarim or Warwick, since speed is a component for their kits but I also don't play either of them avidly either and other stats are more appealing for.. basically everything else.

Depends how much it will affect the early clear. On the 3 you listed they are pretty good at clearing without losing too much health.

Not really. Certain Junglers needs the MS more than other Junglers.

Warwick is heavily reliant on MS for his ult and to quickly catch up to someone for a gank. Volibear needs them so he won't get kited so hard as he runs in for the gank. Amumu benefits from them as well. They are pretty helpful on Kindred so she has a chance of running away from a bad confrontation. And they can be helpful on Yi.

I mean, it's kinda useless to take em on champs that have mobility already in their kit over a better early game, but go for it if you play a slow champ that desperately needs the ms to kite/chase, to live off 1 hp and get away from a flash cause you move faster lol.

If I'm not taking AS, AP, or CDR, I take MS quints. I can live without 6 extra AD. That's not even a long sword. I'd rather have the MS for getting in / out of range.

well on hecarim considering his passive ms runes give him damage

so how could you go wrong ?

i think they are needed if you wanted to jungle a jungler who is slow like Nautilus even though he isnt common anymore i think on a champ who is fast who needs to get in do hit their cc and catch people off guard its nice as well such as Nunu Shyvana Chogath DrMundo

MS quints are also (i believe, havent checked in awhile) the choice pick for ivern, for early game roaming around the jungle/

most likely

they can be used for any jungler but good on tank junglers if you dont need the extra stats from ap or armor
