tbh Yorick works nicely in the jungle meta.
Has ghouls to tank
In built sustain
lots of damage
Give him a try :) But yeah, still think Rammus will always fit into the jungle meta. He was made for it.
Like my post? Be sure to toss me a +Rep!

Credits to Amanda for making this... yeah, you're not having happy dreams tonight.

ADC's are more viable in the jungle this season than in any other season, I think. Their range is basically a form of sustain in the jungle, so they have much healthier clears than other champions right now. You have to know exactly how to abuse their range though, otherwise you'll just take damage like any other jungler does and die.

A great example of this was the TF jungle played in IEM, actually. I doubt we'll see that pulled out any more, but it shows that these kind of champions can be perfectly viable now.

Vayne jungle seems like it'd work for farming and slightly for ganks. I remember hearing Twitch jungle is a thing but I've only seen one.

Twitch jungle = OP mode Evelynn, appear behind your enemy out of nowhere and slow him down.

Now we just need a Kha'zix, Rengar, and Shen.

It's been done before? Oh well.

I've played around 30 jungle shen games in the preseason(dia 1 - master) and i think its tier 2-3 worthy. Today i played vs brokenshard as shen, and he said on stream to one of h2k's members that he had played vs me on shen jungle twice in a row and that he thought it looked broken. Which boosted my ego by a huge amount.

This is probably the best build:



Basically Ranger's Trailblazer - Devourer + Boots > Sunfire Aegis/ Randuin's Omen(i find randuin to be overall better actually). Other items that work(but not as well) are Wit's End and Zephyr.

I can see Stalker's Blade working aswell but it would make clearing jungle much harder, especially on the first full clears. Locket of the Iron Solari is ofcourse amazing if you're team doesn't have one(you have an ap support like Vel'Koz).


My prefered jungle path(the one you should go unless you have to change it) would be to take all the small camps, recall and then do a full clear. On the second clear you can gank after red, and you can take red/blue in any order. The reason to why i take this path is first of all to reach level 6 as soon as possible which is great vs some junglers(having shen ult is amazing versus for example Warwick and Vi). Secondly its to get devourer quicker(this path gives the most reliant gold).

With the next patch, all jungle monsters will spawn at 2:00 and they will have more HP while the jungle item deals more damage. Means, there will be no more leash and junglers without sustain are nearly doomed. Should make Shen even stronger.
He is gonna kill you!!!

This screams Zac.
No bias.

I miss: Tank Rengar top, AD Nidalee, Mash Keyboard Ryze...the OPs

Wow. I really appreciate this all, dude. +Rep to you for going above and beyond. I assume you just use Shen's Q on the larger monster and keep healing/damaging it. I don't own Shen but I might consider getting him since you did so well. Hate to put more work on you, but what do ya max? Is it like Rammus where I max my taunt first solely for ganks?

Once again, wonderful information. I'll give it a shot. :)
