Best jg for low elo?

nerthy·1/25/2016, 1:54:56 AM·1 votes·10,559 views

Well I have decided to take up a new position because it's too hard to get out of bronze as a support (which is my favourite), because I feel like I can't have as much of an impact at my level.

So I was wondering what jungler would be best to carry me out of bronze and past silver 5(last season). I have been hanvng luck with skarner (4-0 with him), but does he fal off in higher elo/anyone else I could try incase he's banned?

Just looking for advice on solid picks for lower levels of play.

Thanks!

You should stick to whatever champions you are good with.

I would probably recommend choosing simple and beefy champions with strong ganks and high damage. Off the top of my head, I would recommend trying: Volibear XinZhao Amumu JarvanIV ViChogath Warwick

Low mechanical high impact jungles tend to work best at lower elos. Amumu, Skarner is fine like you want, Udyr, Xin, and other things like that. Really though anyone can work if you put enough games in so, just find what feels the best for you and hammer away at getting good at them. Until well past gold, you don't need to worry about what's considered good or bad at high elo.

support junglers: (carry by proxy but can easily allow your team to win) ammumu sejuani sion and other tanks

Carry junglers: (staircase out of elo hell) jax master yi jarvan

Thanks everyone!! I have tried most jungle champs but never more than one game, so guess I was just asking which would be good to focus on. I have come to the conclusion that focus on 1-2 is best way to escape hell lol.

I'll try these picks out.

Hybrid Warwick

Warwick item 3931 item 3124 item 3146 item 3153 item 3091 item 3006

Ridiculous sustain, a lot of damage, awesome clear, pretty much impossible to trade with, and you can solo Rift Herald, Dragon, and Baron. It is the most powerful build I have ever seen on Warwick. Although, Warwick is very all-in. Once you get into a fight, you are staying there.

BTW, here's the names of the items in order.

Skirmisher's Sabre with Sated Devourer enchantment, Guinsoo's Rageblade, Hextech Gunblade, Blade of the Ruined King, Wit's End, and Berserker's Greaves.

Just pick any sated jungler. People don't know how to close out games in low ELO so you can just AFK farm until sated and carry rather easily.

Warwick is honestly the best jungler to carry with from bronze-gold. His uncounterable (outside of QSS) lock down kit and ridiculous sticking and chase potential is unmatched.

voli, vi, nocturne. when you gank with voli DONT ENGAGE WITH Q wait for them to use their flash or mobility before flipping them back. vi's pretty easy as long as your team follows your engage and nocturnes lvl 6 ganks are really effective because he can gank areas that's almost impossible to have warded so early on.

I have a friend in Gold who's had a lot of success with Skarner and Shyvana, but I think Skarner is their main one in ranked. He's really strong, has easy strengths to make use of, doesn't die too easily and most importantly, it's hard to fuck up with him. His kit doesn't bait you into doing dumb stuff like people like Lee and Elise do. Also, because he's so unpopular people usually haven't played against him enough to learn his counterplay. So I'd definitely say keep learning him if you're finding success :D

super low? rammus and amumu to just gank.

for invading and just cheesing, shyvana and pantheon, they will just cry and be super far behind while you snowball

for silver through gold a good elise and lee will give your team a great lead, rengar works well too because you just pick the carry and force a 5v4 on your terms.

Skarner's fine; if you're good with Skarner, stick with him. It's more important that you understand your champion and how to play jungle than thinking some power-pick is going to carry you to a higher rank. As an added bonus, no one knows what Skarner does, so you always have the surprise element going for you.

Warwick's always a good back up pick, since he's super easy to play. Master Yi can be kind of hit-or-miss; if you're good with him, he's incredible at low elo, but if you're less experienced, he's more difficult to pull off. Tryndamere basically does the same thing as Yi.

My junglers are Amumu, Shyvana, and Vi. I'm also thinking of picking up Udyr again (I learned how to jungle on him).
