Jungle Champs

sonix5909·Dec 19, 2016·1 votes·1,446 views

I recently played a draft match as a Jungler but my main got chosen and was banned so i had no clue who to play- we ended up losing :P. Do you guys have any jungle champs for people who are trying to learn to jungle (beginners), price doesn't really matter. If you can, give me some masteries for them and an overall guide or link one that you think will be helpful for me, I am level 21 so would prefer low risk champs but i am open to learn :D Thanks!

Edit: It looks like it is warwick or xin zhao . Warwick seems like the most common option so now guides will be more useful than suggestions but feel free to give some more! :D

Jax Warwick are both pretty forgiving as even if you get a bit behind you can farm hard and still be relevant lategame, Olaf XinZhao are a bit more difficult but still very good in jg along with Amumu , and higher difficulty (but higher reward) would be Hecarim Zac Shyvana

As to your question I've never played Camille but I could see her being strong in JG, but cannot really comment.

Camille sucks at jungling, she just gets away with murder right now because how OP she is, as soon as riot will balance her there will be no reason to play her in the jungle, she just happens to work there because she's so op that just having her on the team is nice.

On the other hand yi is a pretty mediocre jungler unless you expect your team ti give you a hand or two, maybe picking a tank or two to give you free range of action, but he's not someone you can rely on.

To learn the jungle it's not a champion problem, as the mechanics are a thing on their own, jungle is more about game knowledge and rotations, you should find a jungle streamer you like and start watching him, right now i can suggest you TheOddOne, Svenskeren, Iwilldominate, Rush, Peanut and i think i'm over with the LCS junglers that currently stream, stay away from nightblue as much as you can as he is a plat scrublord boosted in diamond and it would give you really flawed lessons about how to jungle.

Warwick and xin might be fine, but just because they have a ton of lifesteal and don't let you die in the jungle, because if you ask me they're 2 of the worst champions in the game right now, thankfully ww is getting reworked soon so we'll say goodbye to that ward that gives 300 gold when killed and has 1 cc.

So do you think foxdrop would be a good streamer to watch? I have watched quite a few of his videos but a lot of them have comments that basically says he has no idea what he is doing so, yeah :D Here is a link to one of his recent warwick Warwick 'guides' if you haven't heard of him https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2L-oH0pb5oc

He's more like of a "fun" jungler, i mean, he could say something right, but he lacks what is called "coaching", basically pro players (and ex pro players) received a professional training and have a deeper knowledge than the average soloQ jungler, if you're into this kind of stuff you can do some research and watch some "scrims" (games played secretly between 2 teams in agreement to see eachother strategies) or even read some coaches reports (even if most of them are boring stuff filled with numbers and timers, useful in pro play only). If you want to get to the next level i suggest you to watch even korean replays, at first you will think "WOAH, WHAT IS THIS SHIT" but after a while you'll start understanding and it will become normal to you.

OK, thanks. I'm not really interested in streams but there are highlights and I'll be sure to check out those streamers anyway, who knows I might enjoy it! :D

ZelorxonDec 20, 20161 votes

Not to discourage yourself, but you said something horribly wrong, the highlights won't teach you absolutely nothing except 4 minutes of excitement (?) as in the highlights there won't be for sure the boring ass first clear, the map rotations and the camps kiting, once again i was right knowing the mindset of inexperienced players...

I meant for fun :D I'll watch streams for guides like I said :P Sorry for the confusing reply! "I'll be sure to check out those streamers anyway, who knows I might enjoy it! :D"

The following are some good options for players new to the jungle: Amumu XinZhao Volibear

Easy clears, good durability, simple mechanics and rather straight-forward to play. This lets you concentrate on your decision-making rather than worry about your mechanics when trying to learn them.

Warwick is the easiest jungler to play...

sonix5909Dec 19, 20161 votes

So right now warwick Warwick and xin zhao XinZhao seem like the best options, i already have warwick so will try him out, do you guys have any guides other than live streams?

Godyr, man. Gotta go Udyr all the way.

' Mechanically Udyr Udyr is super easy. Deciding when/who to run at and when to run away is what actually separates good from bad Udyrs Udyr Udyr .' Soooooooooo, I would be a crap udyr :P
