Aggressive early junglers

So I've been playing jungle for a while now, and have been doing fairly well for myself. However, I've been playing mostly tank junglers who just want to hit late game so they can cc and wreck the enemy team . I'm wanting to learn how to play more aggressive junglers who can do things such as early counter-jungling, and early ganks with a high rate of success, so I was wondering which champions you guys would suggest for that, and whether you had any general tips for playing aggressive junglers.

J4 would be my main suggestion, simple kit, very simple ganks, very effective ganks, lots of mobility by using EQ. This will be your best bet as he gets tanky mid to late game will feel closer to home later in the game. He is also as i said very simple, something highly underrated when learning a new style of play, simple lets you focus less on mechanics than on how you need to be changing things (IE ganks here vs ganks there, if i gank what will the enemy be able to take, is it worth it for this gank to lose objective x?) all things that as a farm heavy Jg you probably haven't had to ask yourself much if at all

Hecarim most definitely does not want to go to lategame, lol.

To be more on topic, though, give Fizz a try.

Early agressive junglers that i play are nidalee great power starting at lvl 3 able to do ganks at lvl 2 if youd realy want so and get q and w first id stil prefere to get e first and gank at 3

Shaco lvl 2 ganks easiest invades ever even easier than nidalee and wel fiddlw is supose to be a bit passive til level 6 But its ability to take a dragon on lvl 2/3 low elo seems early agressive to me aswell

The usual suspects (Elise, Lee Sin) are currently not that strong and also quite useless unless you're very good on them. Vi can easily pull off early ganks as she can do a lot once she hits lvl3 and has an even bigger power spike at 6. Just don't go with AP runes.

Jarvan's early has been gutted recently. Try Vi.

Pick up Nunu. Do not underestimate Nunu. He's very easy to play, but his kit still has depth. You will more easily control objectives, you will more easily counter jungle and he is a great counter to AD heavy teams due to his Ice Blast and Ultimate. He's one of the few hard counters Kalista. The new jungle item coming in next patch will give him a great buff and he isn't picked very often, so you don't have to contest him in pregame and a lot of people don't know his skillset and underestimate his strength.

Vi is another good option, her kit is intuitive and rewarding to play.
