So i'm not level 30 yet and still trying out a lot of champions. The role I am most fond of is Jungle.
I picked up Mundo and I really like his style especially late game when you are a beast tank!
However, until I build a Spirit Visage and at least another tank item, I feel like I have barely any gank potential.
Should I just farm jungle until I get my core items before I gank? Or does Mundo have lvl 3 gank potential. Thank you!
NoMonku2 votesJungle is getting changed in S5, so I can't tell you anything concrete about that. In current jungle he's weak early and goes low and is susceptible to invades, which is why he isn't played much anymore, at least in the jungle. Depending on what level you are, I suggest you try other junglers like WW or Fiddlesticks. They are two of the few junglers who can actually function well w/o runes/masteries while still being able to go buff to buff and not having to fear of dying to the jungle camps themselves. If you're having trouble with Mundo and really want to do it, wait until you're 30 and/or ask for a harder leash, so that should help. Also I suggest you try going the jungle item, as it really helps you out if you have to farm jungle and SV doesn't help mitigate much damage as you won't take magic damage from monsters. Its still a good item on him, though.
Wørkshop Shaco1 votesThank you for the input!
I like both Fiddle and Warwick but was looking for something a little different.
Your throughts on Kayle? Then i'll leave you alone ;D
NoMonku2 votesI hate kayle jungle. It's not impossible to do, I just don't like it because I feel I go way too low from early clears to be able to gank and/or will die if I get invaded. Also she is a champion who is incredibly item dependent, who if she has max items will do a TON of damage if built either AP or AD, but actually getting those items is a real hurdle in the jungle, as they are incredibly expensive. She herself is an okay champion, her ult being game changing if you are able to apply it at the right time, but she received a lot of nerfs because she was so strong, so she pales in comparison to how she was before. If you like it, you can try it out. She should only costs 450 ip I think, which isn't too much of a sink for a champion who is pretty decent.
I will reiterate, though, that you should probably wait until you reach 30 before you really want to jungle. As jungle is optimized for level 30's, with a full page of runes and all the masteries, having less then the full page already cripples yourself even further if you're using a lower tier jungler. Outside of Fiddle and WW, I don't really know of many junglers that I'd personally want to run without at least the bare minimum of level 20(this is when you can finally buy tier 3 runes). Oh, Nunu is another jungler that works incredibly well despite not having all the possible runes/masters and I keep feeling there was a 4th one that existed, I just can't remember who it was. I'm thinking it might be Rammus, but not too sure.
Oh and if you can handle it with no having maxed out masteries/runes, go for it. I'm not saying "do not do it". It's just something that I personally can't handle doing because I tried doing it on my smurf before I got it to 30 and I REALLY hated it because I was used to all my free stats from masteries/runes that I took for granted. Good Luck. Oh and if you have more questions, you can ask, just not promising I'll respond immediately.
Wørkshop Shaco1 votesI may just stick to trying to learn Mundo or my typical Amumu lol
I meant to say I am level 28 with full T3 runes so i'm only missing 2.
Again thanksfor the help!
NeoScout1 votesMundo has gank potential as soon as you level cleavers and as long as you land them you can get kills from the jungle. I know because I play him in the jungle from time to time.
FooDang1 votesI used to jungle Mundo a long time ago...i ditched flash and took smite/exhaust for reliable slow for ganks...i do not know if its still viable...just an option i used to run awhile back...
AtheosisX1 votesKayle jungle is not a good idea unless you have a full rune page at level 30.
