- S-Tier: The best champions you can use to ensure you are always victorious.
- A-Tier: Great options but lacking just slightly either in terms of damage or utility.
- B-Tier: Viable and reliable in most situations, you can manage rather decently.
- C-Tier: Although they can be somewhat decent, you are better off with other picks.
- D-Tier: You should avoid playing these champions as much as possible.

![Diana](https://cdn.gameleap.com/images/article_assets/league-of-legends/champions/diana/1x.webp)
Diana
Diana has a very decent clear speed, and her ganks are alright but you need to keep in mind that she can very squishy despite dealing tons of damage.
![Xin Zhao](https://cdn.gameleap.com/images/article_assets/league-of-legends/champions/xin-zhao/1x.webp)
Xin Zhao
Xin is a staple pick in competitive play for a reason. He can easily win most skirmishes and has great team fighting due to his ultimate.
![Volibear](https://cdn.gameleap.com/images/article_assets/league-of-legends/champions/volibear/1x.webp)
Volibear
Volibear has an alright clear speed and his ganks can be quite frustrating to deal with, however, he can be rather clunky in team fights, but his ultimate is the greatest tool for tower dives.

![Amumu](https://cdn.gameleap.com/images/article_assets/league-of-legends/champions/amumu/1x.webp)
Amumu
Amumu is also picking up in terms of pick rate as this tanky AP mummy brings a lot to the table with his great CC and good clear speed.
![Morgana](https://cdn.gameleap.com/images/article_assets/league-of-legends/champions/morgana/1x.webp)
Morgana
Morgana is another good choice if you want an AP jungler that has one of the longest CC abilities in the game paired with her great zoning and team-fighting capabilities.
![Briar](https://cdn.gameleap.com/images/article_assets/league-of-legends/champions/briar/1x.webp)
Briar
Briar is in a tough spot as she can deal insane damage, she is difficult to play given how her kit works so you will be often regretting ulting the enemy bot lane until you get the hang of it.

![Rengar](https://cdn.gameleap.com/images/article_assets/league-of-legends/champions/rengar/1x.webp)
Rengar
Rengar is being utilized more for his very aggressive playstyle. Although his clear is not as ideal as other junglers, he excels in terms of ganking capabilities as well as one-shotting enemy carries in the late game.
![Jarvan IV](https://cdn.gameleap.com/images/article_assets/league-of-legends/champions/jarvan-iv/1x.webp)
Jarvan IV
Jarvan is great for players who want a clear-cut way of clearing as well as ganking. He can be very good in the mid-game, however, he struggles against power farmers.
![Ivern](https://cdn.gameleap.com/images/article_assets/league-of-legends/champions/ivern/1x.webp)
Ivern
Ivern is a great option if your team does not have enough utility, and in this AD Mid meta, having another enchanter is something you shouldn't disregard.

League of Legends 14.14: B-Tier Jungle Champions
![Karthus](https://cdn.gameleap.com/images/article_assets/league-of-legends/champions/karthus/1x.webp)
Karthus
Karthus exists only to farm and press R, and if you find this playstyle exciting, then look no further.
![Elise](https://cdn.gameleap.com/images/article_assets/league-of-legends/champions/elise/1x.webp)
Elise
Elise can be very strong, however, managing all of her unique abilities can be a bit overwhelming if you are just picking her up. Nonetheless, she can pose quite a threat especially when invading.
![Maokai](https://cdn.gameleap.com/images/article_assets/league-of-legends/champions/maokai/1x.webp)
Maokai
Maokai is a reliable tank that can very easily gank lanes if you teammates are constantly pushed in, and coupled with a decent ultimate you can get some easy wins.

![Wukong](https://cdn.gameleap.com/images/article_assets/league-of-legends/champions/wukong/1x.webp)
Wukong
Wukong is a mixed bag, and although you can either use a tanky or glass cannon build, he can still struggle to compete with other junglers.
![Poppy](https://cdn.gameleap.com/images/article_assets/league-of-legends/champions/poppy/1x.webp)
Poppy
Poppy is more of a utility pick if the enemy team has too many dive champions. She can be quite tanky and useful in team fights given how easily she can throw away any enemy with her ult.
![Taliyah](https://cdn.gameleap.com/images/article_assets/league-of-legends/champions/taliyah/1x.webp)
Taliyah
Taliyah received quite the nerf to her damage, but despite that, she can still be very useful as her utility is great for setting up ganks and securing objectives.

League of Legends 14.14: C-Tier Jungle Champions
![Graves](https://cdn.gameleap.com/images/article_assets/league-of-legends/champions/graves/1x.webp)
Graves
Graves has been struggling for quite a while, his damage is okay, and his clears as well, but he lacks the needed oomph to be on par with other much better champions.
![Gragas](https://cdn.gameleap.com/images/article_assets/league-of-legends/champions/gragas/1x.webp)
Gragas
Gragas is better off as a top laner instead of a jungler due to rather slow clears.
![Skarner](https://cdn.gameleap.com/images/article_assets/league-of-legends/champions/skarner/1x.webp)
Skarner
Skarner has been gutted and although you can still find some use for him due to his kit, ultimately you will be a charging tank that could potentially ult 2-3 enemy champions.
![Sejuani](https://cdn.gameleap.com/images/article_assets/league-of-legends/champions/sejuani/1x.webp)
Sejuani
Sejuani has sunk quite deep and is probably not reaching the very top anytime soon. Her damage is mediocre and her clears are subpar, however, she can be quite useful in team fights.

League of Legends 14.14: D-Tier Jungle Champions
![Nidalee](https://cdn.gameleap.com/images/article_assets/league-of-legends/champions/nidalee/1x.webp)
Nidalee
The changes to Nidalee's Cougar form abilities have pushed Nidalee down the tier list as her damage is not as oppressive as before.
![Vi](https://cdn.gameleap.com/images/article_assets/league-of-legends/champions/vi/1x.webp)
Vi
Vi has become quite weak in this meta as her clears are not as fast, and her only saving grace is the ability to lock down enemy carries.
![Zyra](https://cdn.gameleap.com/images/article_assets/league-of-legends/champions/zyra/1x.webp)
Zyra
Zyra's plants were nerfed a ton, resulting in slower clear speeds and since she is incredibly squishy, the lack of damage further cements her downfall.
![Lee Sin](https://cdn.gameleap.com/images/article_assets/league-of-legends/champions/lee-sin/1x.webp)
Lee Sin
Lee is a nightmare to balance as Riot games have given him quite the mobile and playmaking kit, however, his damage quickly falls off, making him suboptimal in prolonged games.
