Question on Devourer Junglers

YekxZunno·Aug 18, 2015·1 votes·1,456 views

In this current Meta Jungle seems to be one of the hardest roles, but best role to carry with. With the new Devourer and all the champions that can use it efficiently. Jungle champions are being banned like crazy. I played ranked today and in atleast 2 of the games, all 4 of the 6 bans were on junglers. Basically what i need to know is who are some good champions for jungling that aren't being banned constantly? The bans atm seem to be Shyvana, Elise, Master Yi, Nocturne, Kayle, Nidalee, Gragas, and Warwick. (obviously not all of those champions are banned everygame, but they are being banned in most of my games.) So, who are some good champions that can carry games who aren't banned?

Jungler is not the best position to carry on. The best position to carry on is ADC. I believe this has been proven, since more challengers main ADC than any other role.

First, don't waste someones time by commenting and not giving any help. does nothing. second. the jungle has the most impact on the game. From the moment first camp is cleared. and all the way to the smite wars. to the final nexus hit. the jungler hs the most impact.

I LOVE to play Evelynn, Xin, GODYR, beleive it or not, Jungle Jax is a MAJOR hypercarry. Try out Off-Meta junglers and see if the work for YOU. we aren't the same person. Noone can pick champs for you man. Twisted fate jungler is hard but fun and an easy carry. Lee Sin NEVER gets banned for some reason and he is a major hypercarry, Kha'Zix is a hypercarry if you can play him right and avoid teamfights.

Xin Zhao is still a very powerful Sated Devourer jungler. That is my go-to when someone is dumb enough to leave him up. I would argue that he's even stronger than a Yi or a Nocturne with the Devourer.

Cinderhulk junglers are still very strong, so using someone like Volibear or Malphite are excellent tanky types who have some engage ability. Either of these champions can really wreck someone's day.

If people are going to ban out those champions you mentioned, Vi is still a very strong pick and that's still with the Warrior enchant. She has strong early game power and only needs one offensive item before she can build tanky and still scales well into the late game.

Good luck in your climb.

Yeah, no. Junglers (while "unique" ) are only one cog in a machine. Even if your team has the most godly of junglers, if the mid-lane matchup is unfavorable or your midlaner sucks, you will fail (the weekend TIP vs CLG matchup proving this point quite well). Same thing applies to top, same thing applies to adc, and also applies a bit to support as if they don't mesh well with the team (like pairing adc kog with an alistar) then it'll fail as well.

To answer your overall idea though, Fizz and Trundle can both be played decently as devourer users without much trouble. Fizz has little trouble filling up the devourer with jungle invades/pick offs from playful trickster, wheras Trundle is slowly becoming a bit like nautilus in that people are putting him in different places just to have him on their team (devourer being a pretty decent item on him, as you're going to be hitting a lot of things if only to heal off that passive).

Kha'zix and Rengar are solid junglers, but are pretty hard to play effectively. Simpler junglers that are still pretty strong are Xin, Pantheon, and Sejuani. If you try Trundle devourer jungle, remember to time his chomp with the sated devourer effect, as it procs the chomp twice

IMO Elise is the best jungler hands down right now. She has ~80% pick and ban rate I think.

Gragas RekSai Ekko Nidalee are tier 2.

Rengar LeeSin Kayle Shyvana Evelynn are tier 3.

but this is just my opinion based off of what I've seen in low diamond.

y is nid tier 2 i use her and i feel like that nurf made her useless late game and so easy to dodge a q and even tho you get the q its dmg is so low

The nerfs didn't really change her early game, so she can still snowball pretty hard. Also the changes to AP itemization make up for some of the lost damage IMO. I see a lot of players going item 3001 + item 3157 instead of going straight AP, which make her more durable and not as reliant on pure damage.

I think the nerfs hurt top/mid lane Nidalee a lot more than jungle Nidalee.

To carry as Jungler, wait until next update and use Skarner , it will be a god. Until this time, you can go for Amumu , which is 450 IP and is really good in tank + AP And if you don't want to play Amumu, use that : Fiddlesticks Rammus Volibear Udyr I did'nt understood what you want, I anyway answer. Note: Only Udyr in this is playable as Devourer
