Yi Jax tryndamere evelynn etc. Basically any scaling junglers that do shit tons of damage. As you climb utility and cc becomes more important, keep that in mind.

I'd say Xin Zhao.

Evelynn falls to the rule of "can only be as useful as a team lets me." And since she generally takes all the kills, usually bad teammates do not snowball. You can almost always score well, but it won't matter.

Yi Falls to the rule of CC, and squishiness. Versus the right teams, he can go on a 1v5 slaughterfest, but the instances of this happening are irregular enough that it's generally not an "always pick" (Ofc if you're 4th or 5th pick, see a team with no CC but slows, by all means... Yi)

Tryndamere's reliable, if you can get used to his play style. He does the one thing most junglers don't do: Split push well. You can always resume the role of a split pusher if your team sucks.

Jax, like Yi is situational.

Personally I like jungling Zyra . Teams don't expect it, and if you ban Jax, she pretty much can fight toe to toe with any jungler/team...... reliably.

Last night, I carried a horrible team with a Tristana top vs Urgot, Lee Sin, LB, Vayne, and Morgana. My team's composition was entirely Squishy. But...... Urgot couldn't run from me, and I was constantly going through 3-4 cycles of my skills to kill him. I was just pure popping Vayne, even if Morgana shielded her. Lee was probably their best player, and even he got shut down.

Ohh i love mages in jungle they are always 0/8/0 against me, except Taliyah.

lol you have no idea what Zyra can do to 90% of the roster with a 2650 gold Luden's.

She takes no damage at all from jungle mobs.... so is always full HP, always has mana, and plant zoning is something most junglers can't deal with readily before they are fed.

Also, I guarantee Ahri jungle will stomp you harder than Taliyah, and she DOES take damage from monsters. I don't generally jungle Ahri in ranked, but I have done it and the scores are comparable if not better than mid laning.

Morgana and Karma are also proficient junglers. Although.... Morg's immobility has taken her out of the meta.....

I like how you assume that Zyra’s Plants aren’t going to glitch out and not attack anyone

IllabetheNov 7, 20181 votes

The glitch is a myth as far as I'm concerned. Over 2 million Mastery, and I've never had it happen to me. I think it's an excuse for people who don't know how plant targeting works, their ranges, or the difference between Q and E

its 100% xin, plz dont recommend people stuff like zyra jg tho if they are just beginning because not only is it not good in the first place but if they havent played all that much theyre gonna lose even harder with it

IllabetheNov 7, 20181 votes

It's actually the most reliable jungler in the game, in my opinion. It's hard to invade, takes no damage from camps, has very early game ganks, and can reliably kill early game with pretty low cooldowns.

About the only reason a Zyra jungle dies early game is to a Flash > Dive combo by a champ who has instantaneous CC, like Jax ...... which is why when I do it, I ban him.

I almost always snowball, outdamage, and I have some of the largest Drake pressure in the game.

There really aren't too many jungle counters to her.... There are some Top laners, but that's about it o.O

Anywho, Yeah. I wouldn't suggest it to a new jungler. It's not really something for someone who thinks linearly with Zyra and thinks in terms of "just throw your skills." I'm capable of predicting where exactly a champ will show up, skilling myself if I predict a dive, repositioning myself, and simultaneously throwing skills on target WHILE repositioning myself. So maybe I do have an edge there (I also can 1v2 top lane with Zyra)

Big ol NomNov 8, 20181 votes

early game she just gets dicked on by too many meta jgers because of their dueling power, shes pretty gimped in early duels against things like graves xin and kha because of her low starting hp and lack of any hp items for a pretty long time

IllabetheNov 8, 20181 votes

I have never lost to a Xin as Zyra. Kha can't activate his passive. Beat him too. If you can hit skills, you will win both trades. Xin can't even reach you. Kha might, but at the cost of a root, a ton of damage, and he doesn't have the reset to keep following.

Big ol NomNov 8, 20181 votes

if it was as good as you say you really wouldnt be silver 5, either your lying or vsing brainlets that cant sidestep a zyra e, possibly one of the most easy to dodge spells in the game

IllabetheNov 8, 20181 votes

I am not Silver V :) This account is.

Big ol NomNov 8, 20181 votes

then plz do tell me your main, because over 1k ranked games and a negative wr on a smurf is sus asf

IllabetheNov 8, 20181 votes

My Main account is currently at 3,492 games :)

Big ol NomNov 8, 20181 votes

and what exactly is that accounts name

Big ol NomNov 8, 20181 votes

ya so obviously that account doesnt exist lmao, let me know when you climb higher than silver 5 tho

TeémòNov 7, 20181 votes

Morgana I think is pretty under rated. Not a highly banned champ, but your bind has quite the hit box, Your W reduces cooldown well jungling letting you like Rammus chill well farming lol. I think it's fun though. Her e's amazing for counter ganks. Morgana's generally don't solo carry games, but even behind your useful.

Warwick I think's good brain dead lock on Q with fear.

MonkeyKing Might take some getting used to, but he's pretty scary can do lane ganks by going invisible and then E-ing You'd probably need to rush a tiamet though. Nasus Yea he's farming, but his wither 90% slow that effects attack speed too. Can be crippling to a bot lane. For that first tower gold I think he could be good, but I don't play it much might give it a shot.

Lord NagashNov 7, 20181 votes

Kayn if you learn how to play him, you can easily stomp into gold with shadow assassin and then use darkin for disgusting tanky dmg sustain Bs to get into plat. and he is fun.

Shyvana was the first champion I ever mained, and I played her top a lot before i realized she was meant for jungle. Shes super strong with a surprising amount of damage for a tanky boi with a really quick clear speed and good early game. You can easily solo carry depending on your build. Is she the best? Probably not, but she is really east and reliable. Just R into their team and spam Q and E and make sure ur W is on all the time. Whole lotta damage.

Pretty sure a full crit/attack speed build would work too. Like a melee kindred thats tanky. I wanna try that now Shyvana

Tr4shB4NSYST3MNov 8, 20181 votes

It does not, shyvana needs to build relatively tanky after item 1416 ( item 3748 item 3022 item 3742 ) otherwise she'll absolutely explode vs any type of focus fire.

Unless you play AP glass cannon shyvana for those sweet dragon form E one shots.

Volibear

He is like a tanky version of Warwick.

Pillar Of SaItNov 7, 20181 votes

How can you have a "tanky version" of a champion who gets 55% damage reduction on a basic ability, has unconditional and conditional sustain, and builds mostly tank items after titanic?

I think you mean "version that stops being useful once an enemy uses any mobility at all"

BigFBearNov 7, 20181 votes

Normally you go Resolve with Voli and Precision with WW for example.

I just want to say that Voli is similar to WW in terms of gameplay.
