Vi is OP strong right now. I picked her up a week ago, haven't lost with her yet. She ganks hard, clears fast, and teamfights like a beast.

Reksai is also very good. Her sustain (especially later on, if you get item 3065item 3083item 3074) is attrocious, her gank are solid, her clear time is good, her extra vision control is super useful, and her mobility is dece plus.

Jarvan has a bad first Clear now, but his combo's still gnarly. Especially with Gnar. Never a bad pick imo.

AD fizz item 3710item 3153) is a little weird but also super strong right now, if you're good with your troll pole. Splash some tank item 3110item 3143 and you're unkillable.

Nidalee does well right now. Mobility, clears, heals, poke, vision control, kill potential...my only thing with her is that she feels really lame when she's behind. Also, fuck that champion in general.

Amumu isn't bad. he's not great either, but I can't say much on that as I haven't played him jungle in ages.

Nunu is a dick, because you pretty much have to be an asshole to the enemy jungler and invade a lot. I don't like him, he feels very feast or famine to me.

Lee sin is free win always. No but actually don't play him unless you're diamond. You probably won't know what to do with the 10 kills you get sub-20 minutes and you'll fall off too hard to be useful late game.

Rammus is my favorite champion. He, along with Zac and maybe volibear, is going to be really strong next patch if these cinderhulk changes go live.

feel free to ask about any champion, I've been jungling a long time.

Sej/Amumu are gonna be god tier next patch.

Sejauni is good now

And when they update/buff the jungle tank item next patch I think she'll be OP

Vi=easy to carry with, fun to play, very strong in the current meta.

How does WW sit in the new jungle? i know pre 6 he lacks and typically you got a lane screaming for ganks before you hit 6, does any of the items or jungles help him with that?

Depends on your skill. If you haven't jungled before...you want to keep it simple. Stick with strong champions that are easier to master...don't just jump into jungle on someone complex like LeeSin Nidalee .

Easiest champs to learn jungling with that supply your team with a lot of strengths are Fizz Vi and MonkeyKing .

Rammus Vi JarvanIV Olaf Pantheon are fairly strong, have reasonable to great early ganking pressure, can build tanky and aren't too mechanically challenging.

LeeSin Nidalee are very strong right now but I suggest not playing them unless you want to sink lots of time into them. You are either a GOD or trash with them.

A good Nunu is annoying as hell to play against but is mostly about vision and jungle objective control. I don't think it's as effective as it used to be.

I love Fiddlesticks jungle. He has a game changing ult, a potential five man silence and a point'n'click CC. He is mechanically simple. But he is fragile and requires good positioning. You CAN have good pressure with him but it's not as easy as with some of the more mobile gankers. You also can't effectively build tanky, so you better have a beefy top. I like mage characters, so it works for me.

I play Vi and Xin a lot. Vi tends to get banned at low elo, however. Xin + Devourer + BotRK is a very strong combo. Tank Junglers seem to be doing well if that's your thing. Seijuani and Naut are pretty strong picks. Nunu and Shaco for counter-jungling. Warwick is your choice if you want the easiest jungling ever. You show up, gank with your ult, go back to the jungle. Solo Dragon early, ezmode. After you learn jungling more you would probably do better with a different champ who has a better kit. WW is a one trick pony and any team who can peel or build QSS makes you essentially invalid, but he's good for learning.

Rek'Sai is one of the best right now. Good damage throughout the game. Farms pretty quickly, great champion dueling. Very good at peeling, not so great at initiating in her own right.

Shyvana jungle is very underrated too IMO. Not a great ganker early game because she can't lockdown her opponents herself. Her damage however is very very strong. She scales into perhaps the toughest bruiser in the game as far as tankiness and damage is concerned. Unlike most tanks in this game she's a threat not because of CC but because she'll kill you on her own. She clears jungle extremely fast with devourer enchant. Best when your laners have CC themselves. (Riot is about to buff Shyv too, and I predict it'll put on her the radar as a top tier champ)

Both these jungles are best runed with AD marks and attack speed quints; something you should already have as an ADC main.

Nidalee and Lee Sin you should only play if you're skilled with the champions, otherwise you're a detriment to your team. Vi, Pantheon, Rek'Sai and Jarvan are a bit easier to get into. Make sure to practice all the skill combos well.

I have been wondering this as well, i am well on all roles but haven't really jungled in this new jungle.

I use to main J4 and Yi, but i do think Rammus may be my best bet to pick up where i left off in the jungle.

Sadly i was never good with Vi, her mechanics just don't work for me.

I like to have a well rounded jungle group, AP, AD and tank for whatever my team needs.

Typically AP wise i go for - Diana AD wise i go for - J4 - but since he is on a ban train right now i need another and Yi seems to be out dated with the new meta right now, I am 50/50 with Shaco, so maybe i will Do Shyv or Rengar Tank wise - Rammus or naut are my go to.

Are xin, Wu, or Trundle viable these days?
