If you are plat +

I suggest godyr. He has insane clear times, a good godyr will have ~20 stacks on feral flare by 20 minutes (50 total), and i seriously have no idea , he can do dragon insanely early, thus giving the team more gold, he runs really really fast, even though he has no gap closers, his sheer speed in fully stacked bear form is like master Yi's highlander. He will level up faster then the laners, he always wins jungle fights (1v1) and he does huge 1v1 damage. He can also duo baron with a support at lv 12, if done right. The reason I recommend for plat + is because in gold -, theres usually a lane that feeds like hell, and makes your life pretty miserable, as you try to farm.

If you are gold -

PLAY GODYR - so what if a lane is feeding, you can clear your camps and gank as much as you want, you run almost twice as fast as a normal jungler (assuming you spam bear form), your damage is still amazing. You will be relevant. He is easy enough to play, and he is almost always the best player on the team. I have yet to see a bad one. You will have damage, presence, high chase/fleeing capability, you will be moderately tanky, and you will have CC.

He is the #1 candidate for best use of feral flare (and spirit stone). And he doesnt require skill shots, what more could you want/

Learn to dragon by 5 minutes with the few champions who can WW, Vi Nasus (if your fast enough)

Also what type of play style do you want? Farm away? or gank alot

each has their advantages but you gotta know what you want to play some champions are strong junglers because they have good ganks, so use them to gank, dont sit in the jungle if they are a farming champion, then gank but focus on farming

Thank you so much , My play style is really an all or nothing play style . I like going in and doing dmg while also able to stay alive long enough to get my team or myself 3+ kills, I just finished a game with Fiora on my main account and I loved it her ability to be in and out and back in is amazing , I will give Udyr a shot because you are not the only one who has recommended him . Im loving jungle more and more and i hope to become really good at it. Thank you once again and if there are any tips for builds i would love to hear them :)

welp, if you like fiora for her in-and-out play style you'll probably want to play lee sin or khazix. I don't play lee sin personally, but that kind of high early damage + insane mobility is what he excels at. Khazix (which i DO play as) isn't quite as mobile before you evolve his E, but does pretty much the same thing in the early game. However, most people build Lee sin as a tank later in the game, while Khazix is built into an assassin with maybe 1 tank item

I've tried khazix , and i was told to never play him again by the entire team . I had a hard time getting the ball rolling and timing ganks . He was a little better at the end of the game but at that point i was to far gone . What I do love is his play style and Im sure with a little more practice i could become way better . He does tons of dmg but lacks the dmg taking ability , I don't know maybe i just did it all wrong .

(BEFORE YOU BEGIN TO READ THIS, PLEASE NOTE THAT I DO NOT PLAY RANKED, BUT I MAIN THE JUNGLE, Not sure if this will change your decision making on what I am saying is reliable or not, but I figured you should know.) I am going to try and explain the "jungling process" from start to end, in any game, you will be able to see what your teammates have picked for champions, I follow a rule (unless you are first or second pick, this doesn't always work) if your team has 3 AD champions and a support (Yasuo, Zed, Caitlyn, and Sona or something, for example) it is best that you go ap (I like to use Amumu for most of my AP/tank needs, as well as strong cc). On the flipside, if you have 3 Ap champions and an ADC (Syndra, Swain, Sona, and Caitlyn) I highly recommend you take an AD jungler (Vi, Lee Sin, Kha'ziks, etc...). The last thing is, if the enemy picks something such as a Lee Sin (or any other stealth detection champ), then it is highly recommended that you DO NOT pick champions that use stealth (Kha'ziks, Rengar, Evelynn, etc...). Other small things you can use during champion select are also, does your team need a tank? do they lack damage? does your team have little cc? and relevant questions like that.

Now you are in game and have just bought your items (unless you are Warwick/Nunu/any other OP sustain champ), hunter's machete and 4 potions. What buff should you take first? It really depends on who you picked as a champ, and what side of the map you are on. Lets say that you chose Amumu, because your team needed tank stats/cc/AP. 95% of the time you should start at your blue buff, no matter what, the only time you would want to start at red is if you a confident you can start at red and d not lose mana after 2 camps, or if you get invaded at blue. Most champions can survive 3 camps (red, wraiths/wolves, and killing blue) without blue buff, if you are playing any of those champions, start at the bottom side buff (Purple side blue, blue side red) as Bottom lane gives the better leash 90% of the time. Most of the champions that can survive the 3 camps without blue include but are not limited to: Vi, Kha'zkis, Amumu (if smart), Lee sin, Rengar, Jarvan, basically every champ in the game can survive without blue, but some you have to be careful with. One of my friends asked me a question about the jungle a while ago, it was something like, "what time should the lanes stop leashing you?". If you started with the bottom side jungle, I recommend you send them off when the main monster is at 50% health or so, as you only need to damage it about 15% more before you can finish with smite. If your top/mid leashed, just ping after they do about 2 or 3 attacks, as they can't miss xp, and most of them only do 2 or 3 attacks anyways. If a champion that leashed you has a dot (twitch/darius) smite carefully, so they do not steal it on accident. When you want someone to back off of the buff when it is at 50%, don't do one measly "Danger" ping, Ping the hell out of the system with (default 'v' key)the back off ping. You don't want someone to think you just mispinged.

You have just finished you first jungle rotation, and you are looking at which lanes to gank(I am going to assume you started bottom side jungle). You see that your top laner has pushed the enemy up to their tower, but your midlaner is in the middle of the lane, and has frozen it smack dab in the center of the lane. Hopefully I got at least 2 braincells rubbing together there, and you decided to gank for your mid laner. (For some tips on ganking, I suggest this youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOFvPUrAnTE ). The gank was successful, you burned the enemy's flash (Giving decent damage or burning a summoner makes a gank 'decent', getting a kill makes it 'good' getting a kill for your laner and assist for yourself makes it 'great', and killing the enemy [doesn't matter who gets the credit] and burning at least one summoner makes the gank 'amazing'. I can't type any more, outta characters, just look at guides, and practice a lot, add me too!- motomaster654
