Dem Junglers

Where are all my jungle mains??? With this most recent patch i have seen many people say that they can no longer jungle, so to all the jungle mains out there i ask who do you like to play, and the pros and cons of jungle champs. I do want to hear about niche picks too!!

Champion pools have been shifted, slightly I think. Kha'zix players are really struggling pretty hard, and anyone who isn't really strong early or bulky enough to survive the buffs doesn't really make the cut. When someone dies to their red buff, they really don't feel like jungling ever again.

lol yeah!!!! i dont think kha is weak right now, actually it is the opposite! i have had a some really good games playing him, but as are most assassin junglers, he is horrible from behind or if your lanes are losing.

what elo are you friend? and do you find people pink warding for you? i played a lot of elise when she was better last season and nobody ever seemed to pink ward for me, this was in silver btw. as for lee i think he is really good right now, but then again lee will basicly always be good! lee is tough to play but if you have a strong early game then it shouldnt matter if his damage falls off, the utility will be there.

I have not got back to ranked play yet.

People that green ward my jungle are far harder to deal with than those that buy pink wards.

Lee scales poorly because his kit does not function well without a item 2049 .

I usually go Elise.

1 Quint of flat AP, x2 quints of armor, x9 Flat AP Glyphs, x9 Health/level seals, x9 Attack speed reds.

Masteries - Hybrid.

Overall: Fast clears, the hp scales better with the jungle creeps, i have the option to build tanky or go more offensive, (thanks to jungle item diversity), the flat ap early helps against invades and ganks.

I see some streams when i have a doubt about a specific something. Experimental routes mostly (both, ally jung & enemy jung).

For runes concerning, i do a lot of experimentation. Not by guides or streams, but myself. Depends a lot in the enemy picks. But, Elise is a 'smart' overall. At least for solo Q (in my humble opinion).

I can play every role decently well, so instead of a jungle mains opinion you'll get a jack of all trades opinion from me :D

The junglers I usually play are Elise, Shyvana and Sion.

Elise for obvious reasons, if I fall behind and can't come back easily I can just max E, build full tank with 40% CDR and just be a stun bot for my team, it's a great fallback pattern since it works just so well if you can reliably land your stun on people. Cons? skillshot reliant?

Shyvana I use just to clear fast, easy counter jungling, all you need is a stalkers blade with devourer enchant for damage since you clear so fast you'll spike your damage extremely early, then you can just build full tank and become the raid boss you were always meant to be, sometimes picking up either a wits end for more on hit damage or a last whisper if you intend to annoy the enemy tanks too. Cons are she's sadly very easy to kite and early ganks can be hard if your laners don't have CC and your chilling smite is on CD.

Sion because he's just fun, his ult is so satisfying to use to engage a fight (or miss it, it's either fun or funny depending). Cons would be how his ult and Q stop working sometimes, defective zombies man, not cool.

I NEED TO TRY SION!!!!! i honnestly have not played him sinse his rework, but for shyvanna i played her a lot when feral flare was super op, and i am horrible on elise, but she is a champ that you have to grind games on to be good on.

I'm kinda support turned Jungle main. Partially because the Jungle changes interest me. also because people have fled that role leaving a void. and I am actually growing tired of playing support over and over again.

I don't actually own all the Junglers, particularly not the OP from last season.

As for my Jungle pool, I kinda leave that Open based on Team comp.

My go to Jungler is Jarven, to no real surprise. Part of the Reason I like him is his Mobility, Getting around the Jungle fast, ganking fast. ETC.

I also Like Sejuani, not quite as much DPS, but makes for a good chain ganker.

And Last season I played some of the more tankier Junglers, namely Nunu and Sion.

I also have Gragas in my back pocket if my team lacks magic damage.

I main top and jungle. I play WW and Vi a lot. I've been trying out Nautilus a lot while he's free (the anchor hook is so much fun to use). I've also gotten Sejuani, though I'm still getting used to her - her first clear is a lot rougher than I'm used to.
