All the strongest junglers right now have the following:
* High clear speed and sustain
* Strong ganks or high jungle pressure, already at level 3
* Either strong late game or just being able to transition into a full tank
Before the most recent nerfs, the tier-1 junglers were
Rek'Sai, Gragas with Elise and Nidalee following closely. Right now I'm not so sure how strong Reksai and Gragas are any more.

1) If your afk farming for 18 mins.... that should result in a loss every time except at the lowest levels.
2) Strong ganks as Vynertje said. I recently transitioned from Volibear/udyr/jax to Xin and I have have an 80% jungle win rate. So good, I'm about to bring him into my main account.
You want a jungler who can CC or gap close. If you notice all of V's mentions have that ability.
3) At gold and below, its nice to have a jungler that is both tanky and can do damage. While Yi and Nid can hyper carry a game if fed, they should insta die in team fights if they aren't.
4)If you are gold are lower, I would try out Volibear, Gragas, Amu, J4. TAnky, easy to play, have CC, and can dish out a lot of damage if built right. If you build 1 damage item then full tank you can still do a ton of damage.
Elise, Lee Sin, are all good but take a lot more skill.
5) I'm personally a huge fan of hybrid AD junglers. Build any jungle item + Titanic Hydra + Boots + 3 health/resist items based on enemy team comp. Like Visage, Dead Mans, Cape, Banshee, etc.
6) If you got tanky, try and focus on peeling for you high damage dealers. I have had lots of games where I was the last player alive, but didn't have the damage to really push or end games. I find my win rate is a lot higher when I just peel for good damage dealers like ADC and APmids.

I used to care about KDA, now I care about CS and Objectives.
