On the idea of putting mages in the jungle

InsaneSamurai··1 votes·326 views

Why not give a few of them broken passives similar to Nid that only apply to jungle mobs? If it's ok for her to permalock a jungle mob out of range and take no dmg, then it should be ok for other mages as well, right?

Haha downvoted. Gotta love the forums. How about a reason?

I think what ap junglers need is better sustain in the jungle. like if regen runes/items gave more out of battle and the like. or if spellvamp quints wore worth while.

Hmm that gave me a neat idea. What if spellvamp runes(and perhaps some other ones) gave additional bonuses vs jungle mobs?

You'd need more than a Nidalee root. Nid doesn't jungle just because she can CC the camps, she jungles because she has sustain and a way to give herself persistent DPS (AS steroid) early on. She was just a really easy AP champion to push into the jungle, but you'd need to work a lot harder with most other ones.

True, but some of them feel like they are almost there now and only need a smaller boost. A similar skill could make guys like Ziggs or Brand fairly legit in the jungle.
