Help with off-meta jungler builds?

Viscount Ombre·6/10/2015, 4:33:45 PM·1 votes·764 views

Hello, I'm pretty new to jungling and would like some advice for some off-meta builds. The main reason I run such is because I'm building IP to purchase an actual jungler. Also I happen to just like weird non-meta builds. I own about 4 champs and I primarily use Twisted Fate to jungle when forced into that role. Right now jungle seems to be build more for tanky champs or high damage dealers so I was wondering if anyone has any advise on how to counter these guys.

My main build is AD and AS to cover the damage base but Fate (and all other champs I own) is squishy and item reliant so I'm looking mostly into improving runes first, then what to build into. Any suggestions to improve this?

Typical game build:

Items (Final build): , , , or and a def item depending on team comp

Runes: x9 armor (Seal) x9 .95 damage (mark) x8 .64% attack speed (Glyph) -1.95 CD Quint 2.37 armor Quint

These are all as of summoner lv 28.

Amumu is a good, cheap choice to hold you over until you get junglers more suited to your style. I know that's not what you were looking for, but I just wanted to help.

how about some sustain? lifesteal would help a lot when jungling. item 3072 item 3153

it really depends on what you are going for, are you trying to go ad assasin or more of a bruiser?

If you want something that is less squishy but has high damage...and you really have to use TF in the jungle (easiest answer to your problem is get a real jungler, but that wasnt the question) I would do something like this:

First back Rangers trailblazer item 1036 item 2003

Then i would rush item 3153 starting with this piece item 3144

after that item 3006 item 3072 item 3156 Finish your jungle item with Warrior Enchantment or sell for item 3035 get item 3110 or item 3071

So final build would be item 3153 item 3072 item 3156 item 3006 item 3110 | item 3723 or item 3071 / item 3035

Black Cleaver + Frozen heart would give you Max Cooldown reduction which would be really nice for extra stuns. As for what ability to max first for TF jungle...find some pro that did it because i have no idea.
