Tier List Explanation

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.
- 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.
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.

S-Tier Jungle Champions

Nocturne is once again a menace in the jungle given his easy access to ganks, great clear speed and sustain, you can even combo with an Orianna to fully devastate the enemy backline.

Elise is very versatile, offering CC and damage to your team, along with great dive angles and gank opportunities, so make sure to spam her as much as possible.

Kha'Zix is a great assassin pick, especially against a squishier comp, as your added mobility and stealth can be of great help to your team.

Master Yi is quite the menace, especially when paired up with an enchanter or team comp that will peel and protect him.

Ekko is seeing a resurgence, not only due to his great AP damage but also sustain and CC so make sure to give him a try.

Hecarim has an amazing clear, and the added mobility makes him a fierce jungler that can effectively navigate team fights with sufficient follow-up.

Evelynn has always been a menace in solo queue, especially in the lower ranks so make sure to abuse her stealth to your advantage.

Jarvan IV is an easy-to-play bruiser that can dive on enemy carries while your team deploys everything in their arsenal to take them down.

Ivern is a great support pick if you have faith in your teammates, enabling you to clear and provide much-needed cover for your carries.

Wukong is a great pick due to his team fighting and relatively good mobility in skirmishes.

Poppy is an ideal tank that can deny most engage champions, and she still has some damage to her kit so you can give her a try if want to bring down the hammer.

Mundo is your go-to frontline option, especially when against a heavy-CC team.

Kayn has seen some changes, but he still remain popular due to his flexibility and damage.

Shaco is still a menace, giving you several ways to approach the game either through stealing the enemy camps or constantly ganking immobile champions.

Zyra has seen better days, and although her damage is weaker than before, she still has solid clears.

Graves can struggle into long-ranged champions, so make sure to pick him in skirmish-heavy comps.

Karthus is a reliable powerfarming AP damage-dealer that can effectively dictate the pace of the game if left alone for long enough.

Trundle is a niche pick, and although you should hesitate to pick him at times, you can find a lot of value when going against tanks.
