The Jungler is one of the most intriguing and difficult characters to play in League of Legends.
This one-of-a-kind role requires you to exert your influence across the entire battleground, from farming neutral minions hidden in the trees to assisting your teammates with ganks to help them achieve superiority in their lanes, or simply bothering the opposing team's Jungler by messing with their side of the map.
This is a difficult job to understand for beginners in especially. Regardless of whether you're new to the game or an experienced veteran, we wanted to showcase our top picks for the finest Champions to employ in this position.
We've also included some suggestions for getting started with each of these Champions, as well as video tutorials to assist you better understand what to anticipate in each instance. This should give you a decent sense of what to anticipate more than anything else.
Ekko
Ekko is now the greatest jungler in the game, because of his all-around abilities and the incremental upgrades he's received over the past several months that have given him incredible power. In essence, he's just become stronger while others have been weakened.
He also has the equipment to be a very good ganker and team fighter. His Timewinder enables him to enter the lane, slow down, and deliver a little amount of damage, which may be followed up by his other two abilities for more execute damage.
If things go wrong, or if more kill chances present themselves, Chronobreak enables him to recover his health and deliver some significant burst damage to his opponents if they are caught in the arrival zone.

Elise
Elise is a champion who, due to her kit's flexibility, will always be relevant in the jungle. Because of her capacity to transform between a spider and human forms, she essentially has two distinct skill bars to select from any time you're ganking or fighting.
Elise's Cocoon/Rappel is without a doubt one of her finest qualities. Rappel allows her to bridge the gap, tower dive, or flee from danger. If you use a Cocoon on an enemy, they will be stunned for 2 seconds, allowing you to follow up with burst damage from your other abilities.
Her Neurotoxin/Venomous bite does long and short-range damage, while her Volatile Spiderling/Skittering Frenzy enables her to spy ahead in the undergrowth, inflict damage, and even increase attack speed for a brief period of time.
Of course, because of her depth, she has a very high talent ceiling. We suggest spending some time training with her before going into the solo queue, but once you've mastered her playstyle, she's a fantastic choice.
Master Yi
If you've never played the game before, Master Yi is a fantastic place to start. He's a very easy player to master, and even if you fall behind in the early to mid-game, you can still catch up in the late game. If you can get there, he's a tough opponent who can 1v1 almost anybody.
When going for a gank, his Alpha Strike provides him excellent jungle clear and enables him to narrow the distance between his opponents. It's also a fantastic way for him to escape damage for a few seconds, giving him extra time to reset his cooldowns.
Meditate isn't excellent in a battle, but it provides him much-needed sustain while jungling early, and if timed properly, it may give him the advantage in a duel.
Wuju Style and his ultimate Highlander let him to do massive amounts of damage while also closing gaps. You'll have a Yi who can pick out priority targets in seconds if you build him with attack speed and crit in mind. Snowball early, and you'll be able to carry a squad by yourself!

Olaf
We're huge Olaf supporters right now, and it's because he adds a lot of value to most team lineups. He's big, yet he packs a punch, has a nice slow and can rush into the backlines and annihilate squishy prey.
Oh, and if you develop him correctly, you'll have significant jungle and battle endurance. In this regard, he resembles Master Yi in certain ways. His kit is straightforward, as it revolves on nailing those Undertow axe throws, then following them up with large auto attacks and the Reckless Swing for executing damage.
Because Olaf lacks dashes, you'll want to use well-timed ganks to take your opponents off guard. After that, it's a matter of hitting your targets with Undertow for a long-range slow, then closing the distance with some autos, maybe a Reckless Swing depending on how long they are, picking up your axe, and hitting them with additional slows. Most adversaries won't stand a chance if you succeed.
Evelynn
Evelynn has a great start in the jungle because of her high ability damage, but it's her ganking potential after you get Camouflage at level six that really sets her apart. As a result, you'll want to devote the majority of your early game to clearing camps and gaining experience as quickly as possible. When you have the extra slow from the red buff, you may try for a gank, but your opponents will most likely notice you coming.
However, once you reach level six and Camouflage is enabled, you should begin actively roaming the battlefield in search of pickups. To see past your invisibility, opponents will have had to invest in pink wards, something many will not do. If everything seems to be in order, the top or bottom lanes, where there are fewer escape routes, are your greatest chances for a successful gank.
It's critical to land Hate Spike's first hit on your priority target so you can recast the ability on the same target more quickly. Whiplash is also an important ability to learn since it allows you to drag yourself to a target and acquire extra movement speed to keep up with your opponents.
Finally, it may be tempting to wait 2.5 seconds after casting Evelynn's Allure to guarantee the charm effect is applied, but that's typically too long for your opponent to escape - the slow should usually be enough.
Kha’Zix
Kha'Zix, like Evelynn, is an excellent jungler since he can not only remove neutral minions quickly, but he also excels at assassinating isolated targets, making him an excellent ganker with burst damage.
Unseen Threat, Kha'Zix's passive that allows his next basic attack to inflict extra damage and delay a target if he isn't visible to the opposing team, accounts for a large portion of his kill potential. By diving into the fog of war, sliding into the bush, or utilizing Void Assault, you may reset this.
If you're already in a battle, the last of those three options is the most feasible. Void Assault makes you invisible, increases your movement speed, and allows you to pass past enemies on the first cast. You may then replicate the effect within a ten-second timeframe by casting it again.
Kayn
Kayn is one of the most intriguing and unusual champions in League of Legends since the majority of the early game is spent preparing for one of two mid-late game forms. Your skills will be mostly the same whether you play as the Shadow Assassin or the Rhaast version, but some will receive interesting modifications that let you fill somewhat different roles within the squad.
In essence, you'll begin like any other jungler: collect buffs and plan your path through the camps to swiftly reach level four. Then you may start thinking about the route you want to follow for your late-game form, whether you want to concentrate on doing damage against ranged or melee champions. Choosing the former will lead you to Shadow Assassin while choosing the latter will lead you to Rhaast.
The Shadow Assassin route is stronger at dealing with soft targets and will entice you to take on the role of assassin. As you slide into the ground to catch opponents off surprise, Kayn's Shadow Step will offer up even more chances for some extremely creative ganks.
The Rhaast route increases your fear in team battles and improves your ability to deal with champions with high health. With a variant version of Blade's Reach, you'll get some additional displacement tools, substantial percentage-based damage on Umbral Trespass, and a lot of extra healing from your strikes.
That's the most basic level, and there are a variety of factors to consider from game to game. In any case, Kayn is an extremely powerful jungler that experienced players seeking a change of pace will love!
