Support wanting to try jungler

I've been maining support since I got tired of adc. I couldn't get my supports to maintain vision and now with the removal of stealth wards I couldn't even buy my way to good vision. So, naturally, I decided to run support. it gets stale because supports only ever get stuck supporting and running adc just seems so exhausting in the same lane day after day after day. I wanted some adventure.

I tried a bit of jungling with Shaco because my friend said playing shaco basically consists of constantly asking yourself, "What's the most dick move I can play right now?" and then doing it. I used to start enemy red every game because why not? I did a little bit of shyvana and kindred too because I was used to adc for kindred and goddamn it's nice being a goddamn dragon sometimes. My buddy said i should try running tahm kench and Nautilus jungle since I am used to blitz and thresh hooks as support.

They figure if I'm burnt out on support then jungle was a natural move for me since it's the same mentality: Control vision, assist lanes in getting kills, objective control and yelling at them. It kinda makes sense when they put it like that. Now when I call them stupid for not warding I can actually show up and do something to try and help rather than watch them not warding as they push and get tag teamed like Audrey Hollander on set. (For those not in the know, don't look up that name at work/school/anywhere)

Any input i can get on jungling coming from support or just things I need to know in general. I know on Nautilus and Kench it might be worthwhile to go tracker's for the wards with cinderhulk or possibly warrior/devourer on shyvana, Kindred and shaco would probably be skirmisher's with either warrior or devourer as the situation dictates and maybe even amumu would be a worthwhile asset as well with his resurgence.

Otherwise, I'm kinda feeling overwhelmed with the idea of moving roles.

Keep your farm up. When I transitioned from Support, that was one of the things I had to get used to; always be farming when you're not doing something else, or else you'll fall behind.
