+1 for the guide. -1000 for the character.
Since Karthus can solo many of the monsters on the map earlier than most characters(for example the dragon), he can surprise people. I believe it was actually once accepted that Karthus was one of the strongest junglers up until the nerf for Strength of Spirit if I remember correctly. Though to be fair, I've rarely played exclusively jungle, so testing to see whether or not this still holds true would be something worth looking into.
The only problem that I have with a jungling Karthus isn't the jungling itself but rather the fact that since he's so much squishier than 9/10's of the other typical junglers, champs like Rammus, Shaco, Udyr, and Olaf can get easy kills off Karthus while he jungles. In the future however, I will go into jungling on this guide. Thanks for the input! =)
If you mind, adding a part like "Requiem Counters" would be more than a success to your guide. Usually the enemy who can avoid your ultimate most of the times is Vladimir and/or Shaco. Popping Sanguine Pool right in time is crucial and thanks to it you can avoid a massive damage/finishin blow.
Great idea. Thanks for the tip. I'll be sure to update the guide with Requiem counters soon.
