i've been playing league for almost 4 months so im not a complete noob at it but i just have a bit of trouble at junlging. I find ganking to be hard sometimes and i ended up just feeding and sometimes i dont know which route i should take after i clear a camp so most of the time im just picking random camps. Also when someone counter jungle between early to late game i end up losing those fights. i havnt been playing jungle for a while but i want to get a little better at it.

Champions that i own and use to jungle

Pick the champion you enjoy the most and just play them a lot. Once you get to know the champions limits you will gank better as you will be able to judge how much damage you can do and how much you can take. The same goes for the fights in your jungle with the enemy jungler.

As far as routes go I wouldn't know what to advise as the jungle is about to change so anything I know would be outdated in the next few days/weeks. The champion knowledge you gain now though will be useful after the updated map and other preseason changes come out.

Jg main here and those champs listed have a very different kit and playstyles. Jungle isnt the same as a laner where your main goal is just to CS as much as possible while avoid dying + trying to kill the enemy laner.

The diff types of junglers are essentially:

AFK farmers - farm heavy
Skirmishers - gank heavy
Utility & counter junglers - vision & prevent the other jungler from doing his job

These further breakdown into tank, AP and AD champs. Figure out how you're the most effective then choose a champ to fit that niche.

IE. MasterYi Udyr are AFK farm heavy champions who do nothing until late game. If you try to use them as early gank heavy champions you're going to have a bad time. Potentially end up feeding and being useless later on as they dont provide any further buffs/utility to the team if theyre underfarmed.

LeeSin XinZhao Shaco gank heavy. Start ganking and roaming very early. AFK farming jungle won't get you ahead as much as if you ganked and got kills.

Nunu Shyvana Utility. Can get deep wards in enemy territory to watch their movements and let your team know where theyre at. These guys are pretty bad at getting lots of kills and ganks arent the strongest but decently strong body in teamfights & info for your team.

If youre trying to use them in a way they arent designed to be that's how you fall behind. These diff roles have varying jungle patterns too. Gank heavy ones will do both buffs and another camp to 3 and usually gank from there. Farmers will clear everything, reclear the other side then go back to get items. Utility will clear their buffs and check out where the other jungler is and should try to take the enemy jungle big minion so their farm falls behind (nunu good example where he can bloodboil, consume and smite the big minion fast and get out).
