Hey all i have been playing this game for about 1 year.I've been playing all of the roles mainly support/adc/top and i don't know why but jungle made me really excited in season 5.I wanted to ask you about the champion you would pick/buy in the rifts jungle.So i d'love to hear your opinions about the champions and jungle as a role in the game.

Edit:I'd like if u could help me with champions such as:Gragas,Sejuani,Nocturne etc.

Warwick and Nunu are the easiest champs to jungle with.

The biggest challenge of a jungler is impacting the entire map while not falling behind in gold or exp. This means effectively ganking when enemies over extend, predicting the enemy junglers movements, and getting lots of wards down.

PLEASE LEARN SMITE BUFFS. I see too many noob junglers who have no clue what they are or how to use them. Plus not only should you gank each and every lane but please please please do dragon.

I'd recommend clear-paths, but that's pretty dependent on which champion you choose. I almost always start bot-side so the adc and support can help with the first camp, so a typical blue side clear (for Nocturne) is: 1. Krugs (smite) --> 2. Red Buff --> Scuttle Crab --> Wraiths then/or recall, upgrade jungle item (rangers, since you'll be farming) + health pots + ward; then do the blue buff side.

The cool thing about Nocturne is that he's really versatile- Devourer is probably the strongest for him right now, but Warrior is perfectly viable and gives him early dueling power, and Cinderhulk is available if you fall behind and need to be the tank. Unfortunately, he's pretty team dependent. If you dive in, you have to hope your team is in position and willing to go in with you, or else you will be left to die a lot. Sejuani and Gragas are probably safer picks, but out of these i've only played Nocturne, so that's all i can advise you on :P

If you are worried about an early invade, start at your Red Buff first, then go to Wolves then Blue. For Nocturne specifically, be warned that building glass cannon on him is something of a noob trap. Besides the jungle item (if you're going devourer, you want to complete that ASAP), you'll only need, at most, one more damage item (Youmuus, Hydra, BoRK, Maw of Malmortius [Nocturne is one of the few champions this item is strong for] etc.), and the rest should be tank items (Randuins, Spirit Visage, Thornmail, Banshee's Veil, etc.). Often, you'll the primary or secondary initiator, so you need the survivability. Only focus building damage items if you are super-duper fed early in the game.

I recommend picking up the clairvoyance trinket later in the game; it will save you frustration when you turn on your ult, and can't use it because they ducked into the fog of war. Admittedly, this will be dependent on your team picking up the warding slack.

jungling is easy, you just got to know where you got to me at certain times. keeping track of spawn times and your laners being shoved or not. Heres a video of udyr junlging https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWqf1P55JGY

You'll probably want a tank jungle (sej or mao), a bruiser jungle (like Vi or J4), a power farmer or carry (shyv or yi), and an AP (nidalee, fiddle, or diana).
