What jungler should I buy?

I got enough IP for currently, but I'm having trouble between purchasing her or saving up for either or . What are your thoughts on each one? What do they bring to the table?

I like Shyv jungle personally (I'm somewhat biased toward tanks though), though Lee is good, was good, will always be good, you know? He has way better early ganks than Shyv (and, equal champ skill, better ganks in general probably). He might not scale super well but he really doesn't need to. Its really your call; choose the jungler thats most your style (Id like to point out that Zac is an amazing champion worth saving for)

Thanks for the input, I'm a tank man myself when it comes to the jungle, except for maybe Khazix , but even then I can't help but build stuff like Randuins on him.

How is Zac jungle anyhow? I think I played him once when he was free a couple months back, but its been a while.

Zac is really strong right now because he recently received buffs to his E range. He can pull off some interesting gank angles because of that. His CC is really strong for engaging and peeling too so he can be pretty useful whether ahead or behind. Honestly, I'm surprised I don't see more of him lately.

If you are starting out in JG you better grab Shyvana as she can build tank or dps and run Cinderhulk , Warrior, or Devourer ( Devourer is disabled atm though). She has great farming and roaming abilities and does a lot of damage and has a lot of tankiness and good armor, health, and magic resistance scaling.

Thanks for the advice, but I'm no stranger to the jungle. My main problem with Shyvana is that she's a lot like two of my other junglers, Udyr and Warwick in the sense that she's a beefy DPS champ with no CC, and I want to try to broaden my jungler pool with something other than just AA damage and tankiness. That however, is what makes me want her so much, in that she's exactly the kind of champion I love to play as with a kit that is tailor made for a player like me. It also helps that her Championship skin is out of the vault currently.

As for LeeSin , I played him a couple times when he was free a couple week ago and thought he was pretty fun, but his high skill cap and the fact he falls off harder than sleet in a snowstorm makes me hesitant to purchase him. It doesn't help that I have problems with ending a game early, meaning I'll more often than not waste any early game advantage I got due to the passing of time.

Yorick I just think looks cool, but no one knows much about him and he's apparently buggy as all hell, and like Shyvanna his CC is fairly low.

You should try Diana then. Her burst and sticking power is strong, and she has good sustain. She has an AoE pull and slow, and is AP. Should be a good pick, especially if you lack AP in the JG. There is also Chogath with his silence and slow/knock up and Sejuani who is tanky, has a knock-up, a stun ult, and an AoE slow, and Malphite with his lovely ult and Q for CC and initiation can JG too.

I highly recommend Xin Zhao. He is an easy to use champion, high burst damage, great gap close and you can build him tank or dps. Lee Sin sees a lot more professional play because you can do some absolutely insane tricks with him but he has a much higher skill cap. I dont know anything about yorick jungle.

I'd say Yorick. He has a ton of sustain, isn't too hard to use, almost no one knows how to counter him, and if he's fed the enemy team better prepare their asses for reaming.
