Continuing with the article here, Ryan Tang of goldper10.com has gone over the top 10 champions the pros use to make big plays, and we are loving this series. The Jungle is an ever changing place, with each season being drastically different from the previous one, but these top 10 have stayed in the scene. Ryan runs down their strengths through all these changes, and adds a few honorable metions, saying:
Warwick was one of the first champions designed for the jungle, and was an important pick in Season 1 and early Season 2. Since then, he’s largely fallen off the map save for a brief time period at the beginning of Season 5, when the interaction between Skirmisher’s Saber, Devourer, and his ultimate put him back on top for a short time. He mostly deserves an honorable mention for his role as one of the jungler’s founders.
Rek’Sai has been a major pick since her release, and her sonar and tunnels have helped her dominate the jungle in Season 5. Her ability to sense out ganks and instantly traverse the map with her ultimate means that she’s unlikely to ever fall out of popularity with these core strengths, and I’m sure she’ll be on this list soon. I kept her off because I wanted to use this list to emphasize the jungle’s ever changing role, and while Rek’Sai’s versatility meant that she fit into many metagames, she hasn’t really changed player perception of the jungle.
Rengar was interchangeable with his rival Kha’Zix on the list. (I ended up picking Kha.) Both champions represent glass cannon carry junglers who could gank well while becoming relevant carry threats in the late game. Rengar has enjoyed something of a longer lifespan, as he still remains a strong pocket pick for some experts. I ended up putting Kha on the list because Kha had a longer life as a top-tier meta pick and an arguably higher peak as a dominant meta champion.
Those are some quality Junglers, Rengar is scary when played well, too bad NA never got around to figuring out how to use him properly. Just like the top 10 mid champions this article is a great read, so check it out over here, and see if you can guess number 1!
