Off-Meta Junglers

Just want to hear about your off-meta junglers. I main Teemo Jungle and I really enjoy playing it. Saw somebody talking about how they played it until Masters and it inspired me. Anybody else play any crazy off-meta junglers with success? I'm thinking of doing Yorick jungle when the rework comes out.

I mean, you can jg anything really. I jgled Ahri just to see if it could clear early. With a good leash I cleared everything except Raptors and Red (It got stolen) while also participating in a fight and came out with a kill and an assist. At no point did I drop below 70ish% health.

My personal favourites though would have to be Taric, Yorick, and Alistar.

To slightly expand on what the previous comment is saying, I always refer to a "successful jungler" as someone who can efficiently keep up a par time on their first and second clear and gank(s). Beyond this point, ANY champion can clear jungle camps and gank to some degree of efficiency with items that suit their kit respectively.

Stronger junglers tend to have built in sustain, AOEs, multi target damage, resistances, damage reduction, attack speed buffs, auto attack resets, and/or kiting abilities.

There are a lot of champions who have these, and so, there are a lot of champions who are able to jungle to some degree of effectiveness.

Also as the other person mentioned, a very important factor to consider is how vulnerable you will be to invasions while attempting these first few clears.
