LoL 14.19 Tier List: Best Jungle Champions
Riot Games

This tier list will examine some of the most-played League of Legends champions in the jungle. Keep in mind that this is for Emerald+ divisions. 

  • B-Tier: Viable and reliable in most situations, you can manage rather decently.
  • A-Tier: Great options but lacking just slightly either in terms of damage or utility.
  • S-Tier: The best champions you can use to ensure you are always victorious.

NOTE: Although this tier list strives to be as objective as possible in terms of viability, you should not limit yourself to strictly adhere to this list, but rather experiment and see which champion feels fun to play with.

B-Tier Jungle Champions

Nocturne
Nocturne

Nocturne offers a good mix of fast clears and reliable ganks as his all-in engage can be quite deadly when dealing with immobile champions. 

Zyra
Zyra

Zyra has seen better days, and although you can find some success with her, you should keep in mind that her damage is not as good as before. 

Evelynn
Evelynn

Evelynn has a unique playstyle, prompting you to go for very aggressive plays, especially if the enemy team does not have sufficient vision on the map.

Talon
Talon

Talon has seen some positive results as a jungler, allowing you to traverse the map with ease and set up some insane ganks, but the durability patch might impact assassins overall should the meta stick to tank-heavy comps. 

Volibear
Volibear

Volibear can be a hit-or-miss when it comes to the jungle as his ganks are not as great, given how slow his gap closer is, but you can set up some excellent dives on bot, so make sure to give this electrifying bear a try.

Ekko
Ekko

Ekko is fairly decent as an AP jungler, and you can even contest most neutral objectives, prompting you to fight in early-game skirmishes. Keep in mind, that your relevancy falls off come late game, so you will need to quickly build up a lead either for yourself or your team.

A-Tier Jungle Champions

Gragas
Gragas

Gragas has seen moderate success in the jungle due to his sustain allowing him to constantly clear camps and even contest early-to-mid game objectives. 

Jax
Jax

Jax can be quite tricky to navigate in the jungle, as he misses out on his split-pushing potential, but you can still be quite a foe when it comes to ganks and objective fights.

Shaco
Shaco

Shaco is a tough act to balance, especially given how obnoxious his kit is, but you can make up for the lack of damage through great avenues of approach when it comes to ganks. 

Ivern
Ivern

Ivern is a great pick for players wanting to support their team as an enchanter who can excel in small skirmishes. 

Rek'Sai
Rek'Sai

Rek'Sai is one tough cookie as you can build her very tanky and still do decent damage, whilst providing some much-needed utility and crowd control.

Brand
Brand

When it comes to AP junglers, Brand is king as his damage is rarely matched. Although you might be rather slow in your clear speeds in the early game, you can still get a lot of mileage out of this blazing mage. 

Taliyah
Taliyah

Taliyah can be great in most comps, allowing you to counter dash-heavy comps as well as provide amazing zoning in crucial team fights or objective control. 

Xin Zhao
Xin Zhao

Xin is another solid pick when it comes to a resilient engage jungler that can single out key enemy champions. 

Fiddlesticks
Fiddlesticks

If you're already in a Halloween mood, then look no further than Fiddle with his absolutely haunting kit that will leave your enemies weeping for mercy as you ult on top of them. 

Shyvana
Shyvana

Shyvana is once again popular, not only due to her insane clear speeds but her ability to quickly take down neutral objectives is not to be underestimated.

S-Tier Jungle Champions

Warwick
Warwick

Warwick is another excellent choice for players wanting to either clear objectives early or accrue a significant CS lead and even weave in a gank or two. 

Zac
Zac

Zac is once again king given how well he clears, coupled with his great ganking opportunities. 

Viego
Viego

Speaking of kings, Viego is back at the top, and given how well he can utilize his passive for early-game skirmishes, you can guarantee yourself a smooth transition to the mid-game. 

Bel'Veth
Bel'veth

Bel'Veth will also greatly benefit from this patch, seeing how much time it will take to burst her down with the new item changes.

Nidalee
Nidalee

Nidalee is fantastic currently, with even pro play prioritizing her as a jungler. Keep in mind that it can be quite tricky to land spears, so make sure to improve your aim before you start playing her. 

Amumu
Amumu

Amumu is a very reliable tank with great clears and amazing team-fighting potential. If you want a CC-heavy champ that can jump into the action, then look no further. 

Elise
Elise

Elise is also popping off as a reliable AP jungler capable of not only ganking, but contesting early-game objectives. 

Skarner
Skarner

Skarner is once again primed for greatness in the jungle, allowing him to gank enemy lanes without sacrificing too much resources and time.

Karthus
Karthus

Karthus is yet another example of a power-farming AP monster that scales into the mid-to-late game. Once you have 2 items in, your ultimate will lead the way to victory. 

Udyr
Udyr

Udyr has also seen a resurgence as a jungler, with Shyvana trailing just slightly behind him in terms of speed and damage. 

Lillia
Lillia

Lillia is too dang powerful, not only due to her insane damage and CC, but her movement speed makes her practically unstoppable. 

Kayn
Kayn

Kayn has been popping off recently as well, making him quite deadly due to his incredible sustain, great gank opportunities and clear speed.
