A few months ago riot said they were committed to opening up more/multiple roles to champions and i couldnt agree more, so heres 5 champions i wishes were more viable/meta challenging junglers

Fizz -fizz wants to lane less then talon, fizz is fun as shit but theres nothing less fun then csing under tower while a meta midlaner bullies u Let the lil guy who wants to run around and kill people play the role that does specifically that

Pyke- the team player assassin is a lot of fun but i dont like being tied to a botlaner, just wish his clear speed was faster, maybe a cd reduction on short q casts?

Jhin- jungle marksman are cool and i think the long range sniper support from fog of war is a really cool fantasy, i havent tried it but i imagine the clear is just bad

Kled- im already a jungle kled main but the loss of armor quints has not made it easy, just throw me a bone? ;)

Tahm kench- supports have fun kits but support is an unfun role, and tahm has a ton of unique strengths as a jungler (good scuttle control, can give allies mass map mobility) and pretty valid weaknesses (not being able to go over walls sucks as a jungler) just let him stack his passive ln jungle monsters thatd help his clear so much

What champions would you like to see in your favorite role? Comment below so riot can get some ideas on champion role diversity

Only champions they opened up the JG to were AP champions, but nobody gave a shit to try

Fizz

Go try Fizz jungle with the new runic echoes, it's not half bad.

Pyke

Problem is he can't 1v1 any jungler at any stage of the game. His only redeeming quality is his amazing jungle clear, but that's only after his lvl.1 jungle clear(which is awful).

Jhin

You think a classy stage preforming serial killer belongs in the jungle>

Kled

Sure, but have you heard of Kled mid?

Tahm kench

Well he is the river king, but has no reliable CC to setup a gank.

It wasn't so much they didn't give a shit as the standard AP junglers are in a HORRIBLE spot right now anyway and the changes they made didn't really help that lol

The scuttle/jungle changes killed a lot of jungle diversity and a few of the AP junglers needed the movement speed they took off echoes. There are a lot of junglers in horrible spots because of changes.

Kled def needs a buff in the jungle, once you lose skaarl your clear is fucked, (even his champion design makes him feel like he should be more function in a jungler), Tahm could probably see some buffs (perhaps a better stun or something?), since he gets nerfed whenever hes remotely meta, Pyke is a fun champ that could probably be buffed a bit as he currently feels pretty shit, and fizz has been common in the jungle for a while now

You know, when they tried to open up Morgana to working in the jungle, they hot fixed her instantly to reduce it now she's not played jungle and has worse sustain overall as her passive no longer works on minions and is only 20% flat instead of scaling. She's stuck in support again, mid isn't even her second role at the moment.

Can agree with the Tahm Kench change, if they let his passive work on Red and Blue buffs so he can eat them that way (still can't eat Dragon or Baron obviously), this would be a great way to get him out of being just a free QSS for the carry. Top Tahm is fine.

Fizz Pretty sure he's more relevant as a jungler compared to the rest in the list. He still works.

Pyke My best guess for a good jungle buff would be making his Q having a lower CD when casted on giant monsters, hopefully not something that could break Pyke as a whole.

Jhin Gank patterns are too narrow af, and is easily counterjungled by many. Not ideal at all.

Kled Dunno about this dude.

TahmKench Still don't understand why he isn't allowed to use W on red/blue buffs, he could work well as a jungle tho. Gank improves better if he grabs Glacial Augment.

Maybe Ivern.

It would be cool if Ivern could decently jungle. lol. I mean he is a jungler. >.>

But I'd love improvements to Shaco jungle, eve and maybe even something like Zyra jungle. Elise and Nid.

Honestly, even though it would likely mean I couldn't play her bot lane, it would be really cool to see Tristana get shifted to being a jungler. With her E and E passive, she does have the potential to be a pretty good jungler and her jump and red buff would make for decent ganks. She can sort of jungle now but it's not optimal.

I agree with kled as well; I feel he should have been able to jungle and should have been one.

And yeah... I wish they'd rework Diana so she would either fit perfectly for mid or fit perfectly for jungle because right now, she doesn't fit well with either.
