The thing about Nocturne is that he is actually build very tanky because he has already build in damage with his Duskbringer like Dr. Mundo has. But he has better cc with it. Also, he has the best post 6 ganks in the game.

And your Shroud of Darkness will be popped anyway if you go in, so you gain bonus as.

This is why he is 1. picked in competetive play atm. He combines the survival and damage of Dr. Mundo and the ganks of Nautilus/ Maokai in 1 champion. Which also makes him the best initiator in the game.
He is gonna kill you!!!

His post lvl 6 ganks aren't the best in the game. He's not the best jungler anymore after his latest nerf(it's like 40 health he looses at wraiths at his lvl 1 clear) but still tier 1.

Speaking of Malphite... Malphite. He's a counterpick but he's a good counterpick. Also I've heard good things about jungle Riven. (I've never actually seen one but it seems like a lot of people think she's good there.)

Thank you Miss Maw, CasterMaster and Arcana3 for the sweet sigs. I'd definitely recommend you to anyone looking for a nice sig.

K we all know that some characters suck at jungling, others can pretty much only do that. But I,d like to know about the odd ones.

Let me get started. The top tier junglers are pretty much, Udyr, Lee sin, Skarner, mundo., maybe olaf?

Now honestly this is up to debate. Someone good with shaco will argue that shaco is in the top tier, but for him. Now get my point? I want some discussion on odd junglers that actually work out very well.

I started jungling quite a bit with Tryndamere. Tryndamere being easily countered in lane, I find he suites much better in the jungle. Can farm his money, can farm champs in ganks, can farm the opposing jungler while being most of the time safe and sound because of his easy ability to get out of sticky situations in the jungle.

Another great jungler I jungled with is Volibear. Voli I find is just like Tryndamere, what he lacks in the lane he gains in the jungle. He has amazing ganks, and I build him tanky so he basically becomes the teamstank while carrying the team when the need arrises.

So what are your odd ones junglers that we almost never see? I started seeing a big wave of Blitz jungle, is this a new trend or something?


Personally the only champions I would ever jungle with is Malphite, Gangplank, Master Yi, Rammus, and Shaco. I understand that champs like Udyr and Tryndamere are common picks for junglers, but I believe that champions with the potential for crowd control and speed generally have more successful ganks. As for Blitzcrank I guess he could be a solid force in the jungle, but I mean wouldn't you have to build more AD/Tank. You would be completely neglecting his passive.

I sometimes play jungle Heimerdinger. His ganks are very strong if you can land your stun, and he clears stupidly fast post 3 by QWE and walking off. Clearing multiple camps at a time ftw :)

Strictly on topic: My unorthodox jungler of course would probably be Wukong right now. For some reason I never see him (I realize he's not the #1 pick, but he seems pretty strong to me), but the few games I played with him have gone rather well. He has great ganks from level 2 or 3 and they get even better when he hits 6. Like Shaco, he can close the gap with stealth and he has a built-in dash. Deals a lot of damage and can gank quite well even without his ult. Red buff helps of course.

Bit mana hungry in his first clear, but then so are Maokai and Nocturne.

My top jungle picks: Nautilus, Nocturne, Lee Sin, Maokai, Alistar, Dr. Mundo

Trundle and Malphite are nice situational picks as well.
