General Guide by Xenasis

That's not my reasoning at ALL.

If that was my reasoning, Amumu, as with Fiora, would definitely not be tier 2 - I've not seen either picked for at least 20 games. Trundle isn't exactly the most common pick (y, either, and he's tier 1 as he is an amazing jungler - one of the best in the game without question.

My reasoning is simply pure brute jungling. If they JUNGLE well, they're high. If they're a good pick that otherwise lacks in the jungle (like Sejuani) then they're low(er). If they have the best team fight in the game or excel late game (see Warwick as a quick example) then that won't affect them unless those skills directly translate to jungling.

Reasoning for Sejuani being low -
Really blue dependent
Not many routes/builds she can take - she basically has to go double HoG and start at blue
No innate regen (or anything to aid survivability, like Demacian Standard)
Speeds aren't anything special
However, she's tier 3 because she has amazing ganks. That's about it. She can be punished really hard in the jungle and is dependant on those ganks actually being successful.

Reasoning for Yorick being low -
Relatively blue dependant - low base mana, not low ability costs
Can't gank well at all - this is the main factor lowering him, and he has no other redeeming qualities
He's not really fast at all - he's mediocre at best - I'd say less than that, too
Easily counterjungled/killed - no escape/semi escape

Does that cover it for you?

Nice guide

good guide, but i don´t think the skill order of udyr is right.. it has like 5 ult lvlup´s and only 3 E´s... just a small note : )

Udyr has no ultimate - his R skill can be taken from level 1, and he has to leave one of his skills at 3 points.

You forgot Shyvana as one of the best counter junglers !!!

Ah, yes, I forgot to add her!

She was not made when this guide was made, you see!

whoops, sorry, you´re right.

There are 2 Points i Really Disagree:

1 - Getting Warmog's Armor on quite every single jungler is just Horrible.

2 - I only consider Your "Tier" only until "Tier 2 (The Demigod Tier)" Champions after are just placed randomly.

- Trundle Can jungle as fast as you want but when it's time to gank or teamfight he just becomes pretty useless, only With Frozen Mallet he does something but, meh it's the item that does everything.

- Olaf fast jungler but ganks are not so efficent, and mid-late game he's useless if not farmed, would be only free kill.

- Nunu Demi-God tiere where i just see a slow from his snowball and nothing else. No damage early, mid and lategame. No utility apart from the slow.

- Singed & Xin Zhao Just no.

- Nautilus should be God Tier, Cc machine too much useful.

- Sejuani Semi-God at least, she's too much underrated and way harder to use than nautilus but she has the best itiniator skill of the game plus a permanent huge slow.

- Renekton you are understimating this champion in jungle, actually he can jungle with ease, and his ganks are pretty good.

- Yorick Should be Demi-God, not so easy to play but rewarding, this OP champ never fails.

1. I get Warmogs on 5/10 junglers in this guide, simply because tanky DPS is the metagame right now and you cannot run around with Phantom Dancers and IEs on Udyr or whatever.

2. Trundle -
Best jungler taking everything but ganking into account in the game
His speed isn't amazing but he's impossible to counter jungle, amazing at duelling, and is one of the most sustained junglers in the game. His ganks aren't THAT bad, either. Shyvana is a great pick and Trundle has better ganks than her.

Olaf -
Tell that to Nintendude from Monomatic (or whatever their new name is, I forgot) who uses him all the time in tournaments.

Nunu -
Hm, yeah I overestimated his buff on that one. I'll probably move him down.

Singed -
Really good in the jungle, you'd be surprised. Try him out.

Xin Zhao -
Still a great pick due to versatility. He can run red buff routes with ease, just like Lee Sin, for example. If I remember correctly, M5's jungler, Diamondprox has a >75% win rate with him in ranked, and he plays him a lot. The thing you really need to watch for is his ganks. Level 2 Xin gank with red is not good news.

Naut -
Yes he has tonnes of CC. Yes he's a great pick. Yes he's great in team fights. This has no relevance to his jungling, of which he's only barely good at.

Sejuani -
Explained above in the page. As I said earlier, it doesn't matter that she can initiate wonderfully late game, that does not contribute to jungling.

Renekton -
The main thing holding him back is all he needs to put in to jungle and throws away later because of it. Scaling and itemisation is abysmal and he isn't particularly good at anything - there's no reason to pick him over anybody else as a jungler.

Yorick -
Very easy to play, not OP, but extremely strong in a lane
Explained above, he's too reliant on blue and has only semi decent ganks at best.

mhmm i really think that Warwick is at least tier 2 jungler, for many reason. he doesnt take super long time to clear the jungle and he doesnt need to go back every secound and he can gank pretty well most of the time. i just think that he doesnt belong to tier 3
