Ashe Main Seeks New Champion

Hi all,

I'm relatively new to LoL. I've been playing for about 2/3 weeks now.

I just got mastery 5 and my first penta-kill ever! (As Ashe) I think I am high ELO with Ashe. I believe I'm 25-10 or so with her.

I'm eligible for mastery 6, just not enough essence/shards/etc.

I absolutely love the AD/Carry play style. I'm usually aggressive but hardly chase kills if that makes sense.

I want to switch up my play style. I'd love to try jungling but don't know where to go besides Smite. I've tried Nidalee, but I'm not as proficient with her as I could be. What are some ways to essentially lower the difficulty of using her? I'm going to assume practicing in a bot game or something. And yes, I'm trying to "git gud" (lol).

I'd love to hear some champions that are ideal for jungling. I don't care if they're "meta" and whatnot. I'd like to try either Graves or Nidalee first.

I have about 4800 IP right now, as I'm not wanting to use real money for RP.

Thanks.

P.S. I may not respond in a timely manner as I may be working/in class/etc.

I think it's easier to start with champions who are better designed for the jungle (because of their innate sustain), such as Warwick, Xin Zhao, Nocturne, Nunu, or Fiddlesticks. Especially since you aren't even level 30 so you don't have runes to help you clear the monsters. Xin and Nocturne fit the "AD/Carry" play style closest.

Graves and Nidalee require quite a bit more skill/knowledge to play successfully as junglers. I'm not sure you can 'lower the difficulty' of them. If you want to learn the champions themselves, try playing them in a lane (vs bots if you want) before you take them to the jungle.

if u wanna do jungle try to start with Warwick , hes great for begginers jungle cause of hes sustain. after u get the hang of jungle and get used to it (camps patching, gank, counter gank), then its time to move to another junglers champions.

Like said before, WW is a great newb jungler because of his great sustain. However, if you want to keep up your "early game aggro" Then try a jungler like lee sin (high skill cap), elise, nidalee, and pantheon. If you are into invading the enemy jungle, try Shaco. He is very strong early game but falls off later though, so win quickly. A general tip for jungling, try to be constantly doing something. Even between attacks don't just stand there, use auto resets, and everything you have. Hunters machete is only good on people who use mostly auto attacks for their clears, or that is their main source of damage. If the jungler is a mage kind of person (Elise, pantheon) then hunters talisman is much better

Kha'zix is pretty fun in the jungle.

If you want a hybrid marksman who also works as a jungler, try Kindred . The only problem might be that she's decently hard to master-and really, really squishy.

And like all the people who said already-Warwick is a great starter if you've never officially jungled and need to learn. He's easy to play, and you can explore your playstyles in the jg with him before moving on to a better fitting champ.

XinZhao simple champion, good sustain, and can play aggressive early.
