Good Jungle champs to carry from silver 4

I am a jungle main, and when I reached level 30 decided to try my luck in ranked. I had some pretty good games, and was placed in silver 3. Unfortunately, I was quickly demoted to silver 4 due to a 0/17 mid and my inability to get kills. I find it pretty frustrating not being to get any kills because the enemy is too fed, and was looking for some good junglers that could help me get out of silver and into gold or higher. I main Diana jug and mid, as well as Shyvana jug and starting to get into Azir and Fiora. Thank you for the help.

Warwick is a great jungle for that elo because even if your ally is behind and losing lane, it is really hard for them to not get a kill when you come and ult the enemy and the enemy literally can't do anything while they wail on them. He also has good damage potential so that if your ally is so bad that they can't get the kill while the enemy is in your ult, you still can finish them off yourself. He also has the ability to shutdown fed enemies which are what many silver games are made and broken from. For instance, if you mid feeds the enemy Kat, most junglers will have a hard time and your team as well. But with Warwick, you just intelligently ult her and she does basically nothing in a teamfight but melt and die. Then the item that counters WW is QSS but this is silver so they usually won't be building that.

Skarner is retarded strong right now both as a tank and an ad bruiser. Gragas can be easy street, also very forgiving because you mostly just build tank, belly flop bitches and let other people do the damage. For mid, Annie is pretty freelo and with the devastating stun you dont even have to be ahead to make a difference in a match..one flash tibbers from behind can win a match.

fiora's getting nerfed because she's broken right now, diana is fine but she falls off late and spikes mid, whereas shyv conversely is weak early and strong late. you can honestly climb with anything, i climbed from bronze to gold last season with basically just nocturne, but for low elo it's probably best to climb with an early/mid game jungle who can scale decently. you want someone who doesn't rely on teammates at all, so rengar, vi, nidalee, elise, xin, udyr are all easy to carry with, though nid and rengar and maybe elise might be too difficult for low elo mechanics.

all that said, i climbed with tank oriented junglers and play to the meta. if you're good, you can climb with anything. but looking at your stats, you aren't very good and you're probably costing your team games with awful cs, kill participation, and high deaths. as a jungler, anything below a 3.0 kda shows a likely negative influence on your games (with some exceptions), and your w/r reflects that. you can see on my prof that i average over a 4.0, with some 5.5+ and a minimal kda around 3.0. i don't play for kills, but i pick my fights, ward hard, follow the enemy jung, and as a result win a majority of my games.

to be frank, i don't think you're ready to jungle, and should probably develop basic mechanics first. i did the same thing last season (my first), and really wish i had mained mid/top before moving to jungle.

EDIT: tl;dr- you're not good yet, it's not about what champs you play, it's how you play and what you're doing/not doing.

Drop Diana from your jungle. Not ganking before 6 (8 minutes) is not a good thing for your team.

Fizz Ekko Elise with runeglaive Skarner with cinderhulk>titanic>hydra>tank Khazix Rengar both of these are a lot harder to play, but are very good

As a jungle main who is currently winning a lot in gold, and started in silver 5 this season I can tell you this. While the "meta" is devourer, I have had large success with amumu, hecarim, and maokai. I built team oriented items, and try to peel and accomplish what the team needs of me. I like them cause I can peel, but also dive that 1 carry who is really fed, as well as offering game changing ganks and team fights.

Thats what I look for in my jungles. I find I dont need lee sin level damage, or yi level damage to get most ganks off early, its just not needed imo. if you gank right, from a good angle and get some help some basic lockdown cc should do plenty.
