Good junglers to buy

I haven't jungled yet, and I was hoping to do it in the near future. Just wondering what some good jungler options are. Thanks!

I'm gonna echo and say that Warwick and XinZhao are good to start with. both of their ganks are easy, just point-and-click, and they have the flexibility to go either tanky or assassin.

here are a few champions that I think specialize in specific jungle roles Tank: Nunu : Has a good sustain that does damage and gives him a special buff depending on the monster : An attack speed buff to help clear camps OR give your laner the extra Umph to get the job done and secure the kill : A ranged poke with a potent slow that makes up for your gap closer and has high base damage early game : And an AOE Ulti that slows while channeling, one-shot's most AD Carries, slows them to a Nasus wither lvls of stupid if they don't die, and can't be seen while you're in a bush, AKA - Nuclear Winter Lane presence: Shyvana :Her passive lends itself to the jungle very well, giving that early tankiness to survive the jungle :Her W & E allow her to zone out enemies while clearing the wave : And her Q lets her clear out camps faster, like Yi, so that she can spend time watching lane instead of in the jungle

Warwick is a good place to start if you are new to the role. His clears are solid, his sustain is unpar and ganks are pretty easy when he is 6. On teamfights the only thing you have to do is ult and kill the priority target.

XinZhao is another good place to start for beginners, just go tanky first few games otherwise you will be blow up quite fast even though your damage outputs is high. Full tank you can still kill the adc anyway.

My personal recommendations (assuming you are comfortable with the lane) are: Amumu Vi Diana . With those 3 champs you can cover any role needed in teh jungle, gank presence/control, tank and carry.

He isn't someone you should start jungling with but once you get the hang of jungling and are ready for harder champions LeeSin don't listen to the people who say he is op he really isn't

Pantheon is a pretty good early pressure jungler and I found him really easy to pick up when first learning jungle.

I know I'm the third to say this, but Warwick is a good one to learn jungling with. He has so much sustain you can basically stay in jungle as long as you need (but you'll probably have to recall to buy stuffs). Also, once he hits 6, his ganks can be devastating.

Jax , Olaf , and Udyr are three more good jungle options I'm not seeing in the older comments.

With Udyr , I usually start with Tiger, but I believe you can also start with Phoenix. Would some Phoenix Udyr player kindly confirm or deny this? I know from my first Udyr learning experience that you absolutely do NOT want to start with Turtle. It's a good second, but don't start with it.

As you get to know what you're doing in jungle, Chogath and Sion might be worth your time, but I'm not sure I'd advise trying to learn how to jungle with either of them. I also keep hearing that DrMundo and Zac are good junglers, but I haven't tried either one out yet.

Some good beginner junglers that I like are Ammumu and Xin Zhao, when you get more ip and have more experience be sure to try out Vi, Elise, and Kha Zix. Lee SIn is a bit higher skill cap champ but is also very fun to play.
