JG Champ Reccs

[lucid prism]

hi all, looking for some new champs to jg with. so far i enjoy lillia and amumu the most, have been trying out heca, wukong and shyvana too. heca feels the most fun of the 3 for me, but generally i look for fast clears and being able to turn teamfights

[storm reef]

Maokai

Nautilus

Any game changing ult sees a pattern here

If u want more carry jg

Diana viego

[jaunty socket]

Amumu

With all the enchanter supports i get hopefully my jgl becomes more tanky

[green yarrow]

All u trying are lowk lame af and ain't fun play khz viego lee and u will enjoy

They can't turn team fights that easy tho

[odd hamlet]

Mordekaiser, kayn, volibear

[storm reef]

He alr plays amumu

[lucid prism]

Yep alr play mumu

Thanks for the reccs guys, will try them out and see which ones I like more!

[storm reef]

How new r u to the fame

Do u like ego plays / highlight reel

Or do u always want the victory screen

Having an insignt to whay kind of player u r maybe narrows it fown

Also

Which champs for u r aesthetically pleasing

[thick timber]

Shyvana really tanky

[lucid prism]

Oh nope

Been playing a while just that I'm looking for new champs to play

I do prefer victory screens over highlight reels

Cuz tbh does it matter how many pentas u get if the end screen says defeat? Lmao

I do like being able to clear fast, deal with tanks and turn fights tho

So previously I've also played Fiddle, tho he feels kinda weak now

[green yarrow]

Go nunu

[storm reef]

Seasons reset

Highlight reel is forever

Me personally

[thick pecan]

Pantheon is pretty insane, can gank at level 2 and snowball pretty quickly if you know what u are doing

[lost kestrel]

My jungle champion pool is:

Climbing: k6, warwick, Vi, shyv, heca, xin, ekko, lee, riven, kayn and viego

Fun: graves, kindred, Olaf, ambessa, gragas, shen, zed and naut

[lost kestrel]

The if was important

Hahaha

[rose lodge]

How is ambessa not in ur climbing pool

Same with Olaf nd zed

They’re all broken af loool

Shyv really fk strong rn

[lucid prism]

Might be playing Shyv wrongly then

Like she clears the way I want but I dont seem to do well on her lmao

What's the plan/build with her?

Also yeah could be a good idea to learn Ambessa. She does still get banned tho so

[lucid prism]

sure

[rose lodge]

Mb I was referring to the guy above me

Shyv is power farming champ

Lacks early prio

Strong mid late game

She has crazy strong clear, nd her passive stacking got buffed like crazy, she pretty much always has r up now

Tri wits zekes always good on her

Into heavy kite id say glorious enchant

Otherwise stone plate

Tri rush into ar boots

4th item situational into twin guard

Is pretty much her standard build

Steraks can b good, thornmail, frozen, etc.

[lucid prism]

Oh okay

So dont go Solari

Lemme send a build in a bit

[rose lodge]

That’s one of those Chinese builds

But it’s awkward if u don’t really know what ur doing with it

A much better standard build is the one I gave

A lot easier to play

It’s those crit “x champion” builds

Like crit riven

But I wouldn’t recommend it

[green yarrow]

He literally contains everything u asked for except being fun

[lucid prism]

Aite lemme change a build up and see

[lucid prism]

Its okay, winning is more fun

I'll do it anyway

[green yarrow]

Gl

[green yarrow]

Not true killing enemies while disrespecting them is way better

[lucid prism]

Yes then u end up throwing a 33/8 game

How fun

[green yarrow]

Lol how did u know that's literally how i lose

[lucid prism]

Yeah its cuz

Thats what happens when u get complacent

U disrespect the enemy, u get rekt from behind

Be honorable, win game go next

[green yarrow]

Nah that's lame

[lucid prism]

Yes but

Isnt it more lame to lose a game u couldve easily won

For smth as simple as not being stupid and just taking nexus?

[green yarrow]

Play top with this mentality fr

Istg u will be soo good

Just go garen jax sion this picks and go for the nexus

[lucid prism]

Yeah but having to play top lane 🤮

[green yarrow]

I don't lose tho

[green yarrow]

Chillist lane ever

Literally depends on ur skill 90% of time

[rose lodge]

Boring lane

Lotta cringe matchups top

[lucid prism]

I'm not good at fantamentos tho

[rose lodge]

Mid jg best lanes imo

Ad champs only

[lucid prism]

The only time I played top was back when I was still maining Jax and Shen

[rose lodge]

Fuck mages

Jayce irel yas mid

Yawn

[lucid prism]

Would probably learn Ornn if I were gonna start playing top again

He seems like a good champ

[rose lodge]

Exhibit a

[green yarrow]

It's a chill lane jgl and mid needs a lot of map awareness and being lowk focused in game but top is just chill

[rose lodge]

Fuck that lane

I like aggressive champs

Top has a lot of boring fundamental champs

[green yarrow]

Same same assassin jgls are the best

[rose lodge]

Shit like garen ornn

I wanna kms playing top into that sht

[green yarrow]

I play it when i need to chill jgl is stressing

[rose lodge]

Jg is objectively best role for winning

But I find it meh

When I want to win I play jg

[green yarrow]

Nah the lane i would kms than playing it must be supi can't just be slave 🤮

[rose lodge]

When I just wanna ego in lane I go mid nd lock yas irel

[green yarrow]

Fact

[lucid prism]

Oh I used to main support

I stopped cuz

[green yarrow]

Mid should only be mages

[rose lodge]

Gay

[lucid prism]

U know when u wanna win but the adc not good

[rose lodge]

Mages r for fk dogs

[lucid prism]

Healed trash is still trash

[green yarrow]

So used to be a slave

[lucid prism]

Yeh

[rose lodge]

Nd I fk on mages

[lucid prism]

Could still carry tho

Just go Karma Nami

If ur adc is good or ure feeling ballsy go Milio

[green yarrow]

Fact i like to duo with sup

[rose lodge]

I used to b thresh otp

[lucid prism]

U dont need to rely on ur adc if ure 5/0 as karma 6mins in

[rose lodge]

Hit #1 a couple times

[green yarrow]

Literally q hyper carry jgl and good sup =80% of games win

[lucid prism]

Just rmb to end fast

[rose lodge]

Adc was my slave

[lucid prism]

Otherwise ure about as good as honeyfruit late game

[rose lodge]

Karma best mage supp

Crazy impact

[green yarrow]

Super cringe role

[rose lodge]

Yea

[lucid prism]

Yeah but ngl I like macro more

[rose lodge]

Supp is piss

[lucid prism]

I think a bit more tactically than mechanically anyway

[rose lodge]

Then lock jg lol

Highest macro role there is

[lucid prism]

Yuh thats what I do

[rose lodge]

Good

[lucid prism]

Thats why i been maining jg

[rose lodge]

Shits op if u have a brain

[green yarrow]

Fact

Easy role but people are just dumb

[rose lodge]

Too bad start to hate support players when u main other roles for long enough

Never wanna go back after watching those dogs

[green yarrow]

G4u u should easily break ur peak with jgl

[rose lodge]

Cuz then ur guilty by association

Lilia also fun jg tho

She the only “mage” I’m willing to play

[green yarrow]

I fkkin hate hate hate hate high movement speed champd

Fkkin cringe her and hecarim 🤮

[rose lodge]

Playing against or as them lol

[green yarrow]

And then they get nami with them too 🤮

[green yarrow]

Both fr

[rose lodge]

I played a bit of heca, I’m mainly lilia enjoyer tho

[lucid prism]

Bruh

Lillia is great

I main her

[rose lodge]

She strong af if ur team doesn’t hard run it first 7 mins

[lucid prism]

Oh tbh its kinda fine if u can scale

Like u have a lot of surprise damage

[rose lodge]

If u can yes

If ur lanes have negative prio nd u have no map control gg

[lucid prism]

And the enemy can be ahead but u land ult

Go in bonk and swirl

Oh oops triple kill

[green yarrow]

Idk i hate her soo much i don't think am willing to play her

[lucid prism]

Take a free baron

Win game

Ez

I didnt think i'd like her this much but I used to play Fiddle

And ppl were saying that the next best champ was her

And they were right lmaoo

[green yarrow]

Fiddle is dead champ

[rose lodge]

Nah she good but not in top 5

She like bordering it tho

[green yarrow]

What's ur top 5

[rose lodge]

Amb ekko lee riven nilah zed

That’s 6

But can’t decide between em

All cancer

All broken

[green yarrow]

Fkk nilah this bich need to get nerfed asap

[lucid prism]

Unfortunately rn yes

Used to be real strong tho

[rose lodge]

Nilah prolly most cringe jg rn

[green yarrow]

Hopefully he will stay like this

[lucid prism]

And the fact that u can just ult into baron and get a quad and turn a game

[rose lodge]

Her and Ekko

[lucid prism]

Ekko smh

[rose lodge]

I refuse to play either tbh

[lucid prism]

Dk why i cant play him

Like i tried

[rose lodge]

Fk cringe dog champs

[lucid prism]

Am just not good with him

[green yarrow]

Any scaling champ when he goes in jgl he literally be op af if he has good clear

[green yarrow]

I play ekko but nilah is soo cringe I can't play her

[green yarrow]

Skill issue he is easy

[rose lodge]

He is pretty straight forward

[green yarrow]

Fact hardest champ from my perspective must be the cat rengar

[rose lodge]

……

[green yarrow]

Tried to play him a couple of times but idk i didn't vibe with him

[rose lodge]

Nah rengar not that hard

He also pretty easy

[green yarrow]

Cap

[rose lodge]

What makes him hard is probably the fact he isn’t strong in meta

When he was a lil overtuned, his mechanics r easy

[green yarrow]

He is op af in the hands of good players they literally turn him into a fuckin beast

[lucid prism]

Yeah its harder to do rengar things

[green yarrow]

I don't agree at all

[lucid prism]

Which is funny cuz when Rengar is good he's deadly

[green yarrow]

What's harder than rengar lil

[lucid prism]

But when he's not good, like rn, its so hard to accomplish anyth

[rose lodge]

Lee zed imo

[lucid prism]

Like ystd I had an enemy rengar

[rose lodge]

Lee also pretty easy tho

[lucid prism]

Bro was just not doing much whole game

[green yarrow]

Fact i played against top 1 this dude was capable of fighting 4 of us at one time we all grand masters

[rose lodge]

But higher skill ceiling

[green yarrow]

I was top 1 lee and rengar to me is way harder then lee

Idk i feel zed and lee way easier then rengar

[rose lodge]

Higher skill ceiling

Rengar is abt rotating abilities

[green yarrow]

Maybe

[rose lodge]

U have to get a feel for him

[lucid prism]

Nah higher skill floor

Need to manage more things to be effective

Lee has the higher skill ceiling

[rose lodge]

Lee and zed have higher skill ceilings

They also have higher skill floors too

U can b more effect8ve on them without knowing how to play them too well, whereas rengar is an otp style champ

Usually only rengar mains r good on rengar

Most people don’t just play him

Except when he was overtuned and broken af

Rengar isn’t worth learning rn tbh

Just a weak champ

[green yarrow]

I remember when that crit build came out bro he was wildin

[rose lodge]

He’s always been crit, he just got all of his scalings buffed

[green yarrow]

Tried a couple of times on different seasons never really liked him to continue on him

[rose lodge]

He’s been ass for awhile

[green yarrow]

Nah he used to be played lethality just khz

That was back tho like in early seasons

[rose lodge]

He was only good 2 seasons ago when they buffed the hell out of all of his abilities and his passive

Well like lethality crit

So like dusk essence tri mortal/ie typa build

That was his build for the past couple seasons

Idk bout early early ssns tho

[green yarrow]

Nah i remember like s6 or s7 smg like that he was just too good

[rose lodge]

I didn’t see him too much, definitely more than we do now tho

He always been kind of nieche

Only rengar mains really play him

[green yarrow]

Fact u rarely see him but when i do 90% of the times it's a hard game

[rose lodge]

Im usually fine into rengar

Kinda glad I don’t see him tho

He is pretty cringe

Like an ad evelynn

Pop r one shot

When they buffed him it was so cancer

He was pick or ban lmao

Like talon pre nerf

Thank god that champs in the gutter too

He’s in like same boat as rengar imo

Had his glory days, just to b nerfed into the ground

Except his were a lot while longer

[green yarrow]

Ngl never saw talon im that part there's a lot of seasons that i skipped playing

But he was always bad pick

[thick pecan]

Honestly, going back to what I said, Pantheon has gotta be one of the easiest jg champions

Works hella good in a premade group, but also works well in solo q

I start off with krugs, red buff, raptors, (Gank mid if possible), blue buff, scuttle. If bot lane is near krugs, I reverse the order with raptors, red buff and krugs.

Then, you farm until level 5 and then use your ult to block off an overextending enemy

Build is also pretty straightforward, armor penetration boots into serpent's fang (For shields) or DOD (If no shields and ton of squishies). Then its collector (If squishies) or Bortk (If tanks/bruisers) as the second item, with bortk or collector as 3rd. 4th item is mortal reminder, 5th item ends up being the mr attack damage thingy for ap heavy teams, black cleaver for tanks/bruisers, or the shield item ad thing if I'm facing poke

As for skills, I typically go 1, 2, 1, 3, 4, 1, 2, 1

Max out Q, then W, then ult and finally E

You have great ganks, good 1v1 potential/burst potential, and can flank nicely. Plus, if you snowball early, it's pretty much over unless all of your teammates feed

Typically, with pantheon, even if you are ahead, don't permafight. Spend time clearing your jungle a lot, unless you are nearing an objective. Typically, I can get ahead even if the enemy is ahead quite a bit by that

Also, when you kill an enemy after a gank, shove waves into the tower and take a couple of plates. Play the macro game and get towers and if you already denied the enemy dragon soul, abandon objectives and push towers instead

[verbal trout]

@lucid prism use ekko

[lucid prism]

am bad at ekko

skill diff

but sure i will try

i got a pretty good list from the chat, so thanks everyone who answered!

Shyvana (again), Nunu, Ambessa, Panth, Ekko, Maokai

[rose lodge]

Uh yea no

He was literally the strongest jg by far

Him and viego

He was by miles the most broken champ in game

Pick or ban

[green yarrow]

Prob it happened when i wasn't playing

[thick timber]

I remember talon was hyper broken on release

Now he feels borderline useless

[rose lodge]

He was good on release but had low wr since people didn’t know how to play him

So they buffed him like 2 or 3 times after he was already good

And when everyone caught up to playing him well, it was already too late

They buffed the ever living fuck out of him

Then for the next 2 seasons they walked back every buff and made him practically useless now

[thick timber]

Rip talon I don’t miss him tho

[rose lodge]

I don’t either

Fuck that champ

I bet id miss him if i was talon main tho

[lucid prism]

Lmao talon kept getting banned
