with the new Jungle, I think JG Karthus might actually become meta!

I've been playing a couple games a Karthus JG and I've got to say I've been doing A LOT better at clearing the jungle than last season. I feel this might actually make him somewhat meta in the coming season.

My usual path: Blue, Gromp, Wolves, Birds, Krugs, back. I was able to get my JG item first back, then follow with a gank As JG Karthus, I can just give the red buff to top or bot depending on what side I'm on, and give them the advantage. As for taking Drag/Baron, there a REASON Karthus is considered one of the KINGS of taking objectives lol. I haven't seen how early I can solo Drag, but if anyone else wants to try they are more than welcome to do it! :)

What do you think? Will Karthus JG make a triumphant return in Season 7?

Yeah, after getting invaded countless times until to a point where your current AP doesn't even matter anymore.

he is very situational his ganks aren't that strong and he lacks the potential to duel if the enemy jungler invades you and with the shacos, lee sins being fairly common it doesnt look bright for him. You would need the game to be slow from the start meaning the enemy jungler is a farm jungler AND the lanes start off as a stalemate for at least the first 5-6 minutes

Not saying I wouldn't like to play jungle karthus i'm just being realistic. I enjoy these wacky picks but usually there are good reasons why its not meta.
