In silver 3 and am saving up the 6,300 IP for a new champ, I main jungle, and was looking around. If I'm shooting for plat, which of these champs should i buy in order to climb, and would be good throughout silver/gold/low plat? (mostly directed towards higher ELO players) (and yes I plan on using Zyra for jg and mid, if that sounds weird)

Vi TahmKench Ekko Kindred Quinn Rengar Zyra

I'm anticipating a lot of people to say Rengar, but i'll say right now I despise Rengo and only am considering him because of how ridiculous he compared to my man Kha (rip).

Thanks feedback appreciated!

Don't go for ekko, and only play Rengar if you're comfortable with him. If you get behind you're pretty much useless. If you're looking to hardcore solo carry through silver, go for Vi . She has simple, solo lockdown mechanics that are pretty easy to master. If you're looking for someone to snowball your lanes/help your team, go for TahmKench . He's just beefy and annoying, and you can tower dive hardcore with your e shield to secure easy kills for your laners. You also provide a strong tank who also deals ass loads of damage.

For Vi , Max your Q first and then Then it's up to you whether you max your e (more burst, less armor pen) or w (vice versa). As far as items go, pick up a item 1408 . When you see the enemy jungler on one spot of the map, get deep wards in the other side of the jungle. This alerts your laners to jungle pressure and helps you set up counter ganks (something Vi is extremely good at). At this point, if you're fed grab a item 3078 and then go to tank. If you're going even/decent, pick up a item 3742 , then assess your situation. If you're behind, go dead mans into tank: you'll do enough damage with your warrior while still being useful instead of diving in to your death

For TahmKench , go item 1401 into either item 3065 or item 3742 , get the one you didn't first, and then build tank and you're golden. Get control of scuttle crab and river vision, use your ult to counter gank, and be the most annoying champ in the game. Eat people for breakfast [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

Ekko

Vi and Ekko are the only legitimate options from what you've said. Try both, see which one is more fun.

Choosing is really up to you. Don't see to many Kha players as a main, so that in itself says you like to play a different style of jungle. Tahm is annoying but effective. Ekko is great when used right for ganks and also offers possible multiple lane usage (top, mid, jungle). Lee Sin is godly this year and I've recently been trying to learn him as well. Regar is a beast but I feel like he falls off in damage. Have you considered Amumu? He's my jungle main and I love his kit.

Out of this selection I would go with Rengar.

Taking ADC out in this season is key to winning Team fights and he can ult in kill and get out fast. IF you need more of a team fighter then VI.

A skilled Rengar can reek havoc early and through out the game. Both champs can split push well also.
