Noobs of the Jungle

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]Try Nunu. he's one of the easiest junglers to pick up.[/quote]

[quote=Jovy]Sejuani is pretty easy to play. I start blue for purple side without smite then go red buff right away and smite that (reverse for blue side) then I gank top lane or mid if you can't gank top. Start W, then either Q or E doesn't matter, then E or Q and you max W till 3 points then max E. She's got pretty good clear and she's easy to gank with especially after 6. She might be a little mana reliant when clearing but nothing you can't manage.[/quote]

[quote=NicknameMy]Easiest junglers: [[udyr]] - So much sustain and mobility, the only thing you have to care about is your mana. And you can jungle him with Q or R first, like you want. Finally, the only thing you have to do is hitting stuff. [[master yi]] - Maybe not the most sustained one (he can actually a bit with [[meditate]] at lvl 3/4) but incredible clear speed and most of the time a great noobstomper. [[amumu]] - The easiest one if you want to play a full tank ganker style. Safe clear, good damage, great cc. You only have to learn how to hit your Q. [[fiddlesticks]] - Drain forever, jump in with your ultimate and have fun. As long as you do not go oom, [[fiddlesticks]] offers great fun. Especially if they try to 1vs1 you without cc. Or the super easy lvl 5 dragon. He lacks mobility, which makes [[boots of mobility]] core for him.[/quote]

[quote=Thalia Kael]safe clear? amumu is like the easiest person to invade at his 2nd buff and at his first buff too... plus without blue he's fucked early[/quote]

[quote=NicknameMy]At level 11 people are gonna invade?[/quote]

[quote=DillButt64]just cuz hes level 11 doesnt mean you should give him false information[/quote]

[quote=Foolamancer][quote=Focuscoene] You know, the more I think about it, the more I think I should hold off on mastering the jungle. As a level 11, maybe my best bet is to keep mastering the mechanics of as many different champs as possible. I feel like I'm just getting more and more confused with every new guide, or section of tips, that I read. I'll learn proper jungling when I'm better able to understand what the heck everyone is even talking about lol. [/quote] That's honestly the best idea here. Jungling is very difficult pre-20, even for experienced players, as you sort of need the right runes and masteries to be able to clear the jungle in less than an hour. And [[Maokai]] is not actually a good champion to learn the jungle role with (and I say this as someone who loves [[Maokai]]; he's just not newbie-friendly due to how tricky his ultimate and E can be to use properly). Wait until you hit at least summoner level 20 and have some decent runes before you start trying to learn the jungle. I would even say it would be best to wait until level 30, with a full set of runes (generally* junglers use movespeed quints, attack speed reds, armor yellows and mr blues, and movespeed quints are hella expensive so this can take a while to get set up), before you start doing it regularly. If you're set on doing it now, though, I would recommend [[Jarvan IV]] as the champion to use. He really is one of the best junglers, if not the single best, right now. He can clear quickly, he ganks like a monster, and he's an absolute terror in teamfights beyond that. Great disruption, great mobility, and impressive ganks. What more could you want? *: Meaning that [i]most[/i] junglers use these runes, but not all of them. [[Jarvan IV]], for example, prefers attack damage quints and reds.[/quote]

[quote=C4 Lasty]This thread is so full of stupidity...where to start... Fiddle is incredibly difficult to jungle well. In fact he's probably the highest skill cap jungler in the game. Maokai is trash, ask yourself if you've seen him once in competitive play since Season 2? Every other jungler mentioned is pretty weak outside of Xin. Though, Xin is outclassed by Jarvan and Vi right now. Top junglers at the moment are Vi, Jarvan, Lee Sin, Nocturne, Eve. Jarvan is ridiculously easy to play once you get the hang of E-Q combo. Nocturne is easy mode. Eve is silly-easy. Vi takes some getting used to, but also really easy to play. The advantage to picking one of these champions is odds are your counterpart on the enemy team will be playing a weaker jungler. Start the buff your bot lane side is closest to on EVERYONE. Run to your 2nd buff take it down w/smite. Now you'll be level 3, either farm small camps or go gank lanes gg. Not rocket science people.[/quote]

[quote=drakon136]Don't you love people who assume that anybody not used in competitive is trash and should never be picked?[/quote]

[quote=C4 Lasty]I know that Maokai has one of the slowest clear speeds of any 'jungler' in the game. Might as well jungle Malphite. It has nothing to do with competetive I'm using it as an example. Oddone basically popularized jungle Maokai. He played it throughout season 2. Even he won't touch Maokai anymore. Sorry to hate on a champion you like, but some champions stopped being viable when they changed the jungle at the beginning of season 3. I'm the heighest elo jungle main that actively posts on Moba as far as I know. My 'opinions' in regards to the jungle aren't really opinions. They are fact.[/quote]
