Hello all, this is my first thread on MOBAFire and am also a relatively new LoL player so if any of the following is total noob banter, please forgive.

Before i delve too deep into the aforementioned topic i just wanted to start with a little bit about myself. My summoner name is KillaCamTron and i've been playing league for about 2 months now. I currently sit in Bronze 2(was placed in Bronze 1 then quickly demoted...yay me) so i by no means consider myself an expert in any aspect of this game. That being said, one thing i am fairly sure of is that, every team comp requires some kind of tank. In the current meta, it's commonplace for the top lane to be the place where most tanks call home but, as i mentioned before, i'm in bronze 2 and most people just do whatever they feel like regardless, so it's not uncommon in my ELO for your team comp to be lacking a tank. Also, in the current meta, "Carry Junglers" are a lot more popular now and most of them (Vi, WuKong, Lee Sin) are nowadays more focused on damage output then they are being tanky. I realize that with some carry junglers you do have the option of going basically full tank but i've found that in doing so you sacrifice early damage output and your ganks become significantly weaker overall making you less usefull to your team. All of this brings me back to my original question. What tanks are out there that can jungle efficiently and have strong ganks? I've tried jungling Malphite Dr. Mundo and Nasus but none of them really seem to gank very well(with the exception of malph ult but with such a long cd you have to wait forever inbetween ganks). What are your thoughts on the best full tank junglers, and is it even worth? if i lack a tank in my team comp should i try to make up for it in the jungle or simply stick with a carry jungler and hope the game doesn't last 30 min?

Full tanks:
  • Rammus is an excellent tank in the jungle. Good ganks, and you don't need to build AD on him because of his passive.
  • I personally really like Dr. Mundo in the jungle, but I'm biased.
  • Shyvana is still a strong pick.
  • Sejuani could be argued.
  • Amumu isn't banned much any more, and can still win games with one ult
  • Nautilus because he's a CC monster

Not really tanks, but can easily be built that way:
  • Udyr is a very strong jungler, and only needs Trinity Force to carry games.
  • I would argue that Vi, Elise and Lee Sin are all very viable as tanks. Lee Sin particularly has to go tanky towards end-game as his damage falls off.
  • Rengar and Xin Zhao have lots of sustain, good ganks pre-6 and great ones post-6.
  • Trundle is a great jungler, but not so hot at ganking, and normally does better in the top lane anyway.
  • Nunu & Willump and Cho'Gath can also be good tanks, but get shut down hard without farm.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head. I'm sure there's more.

ive been using hecarim recently, building him full tank other than triforce and lizard and its been pretty successful after they let AoE champions get the full effect of the passive, yeah his mana costs still suck but at least you arnt oom constantly
