Reign of Gaming

Please watch the video for the best explanation into how the new tier list has been set up. As a short summary - the tier list has been divided into categories in order to make it coherent and easier to manage despite taking more work to set up. Every category will list factors to further exemplify the different types of junglers from one another. Keep in mind that Sejuani and Trundle are not in this tier list due to their impending reworks/tune-ups and will be added later.

Take notice that some junglers will be placed in more than one category tier list and there may be some overlap in explanations and stats. The general spreadsheet that details the factors encompasses all categories. Every category still takes the spreadsheet into account when it comes to the champion placements within them. Some champions did not receive any explanations because I felt they did not require any or were not interesting. Some champion explanations can be implied simply by reading the charts and taking note of the champion's placement.

I will likely be making a change to a category system with heavy emphasis on a ramped up spreadsheet in order to move beyond a number system which tends to confuse a lot of people (especially those that don't bother to read) so the second iteration of the tier list is likely to come very soon. It will no doubt save me a lot of stress but it will also kill the updates to the tier list. That said it's ultimately up to the RoG guys to give me the go to for this idea.

Keep in mind one very important thing - this tier list is made to reflect which junglers (in my opinion) are the best at jungling. This is list is NOT made to dictate picks nor does it heavily reflect the competitive scene.

I believe there are too many factors to consider when it comes to who is the best jungle pick. There are too many little variables to consider that could help or break a person's argument for who the best jungle pick is. Not only that, all those little things can become big things depending on how much the individual values a certain aspect. Even a jungler who is listed in this tier list as being on a lower end of it can be a much better pick for a certain team comp (or against one) than someone that's much higher. All that stuff is situational and can be interpreted differently and so on.

However, I do feel there are some things that cannot really be debated. You can't deny things like "Shen is super slow" or "Warwick jungles at basically full health" or "Amumu is mana reliant." Things like that are clear as day and you can measure them and give them values. Sure there are some things that are ultimately overlooked but that can't be helped. So in short, this tier list is a way to organize junglers according to how well they function in the jungle role (though not completely removing team pick out of the equation) and how they stack up to one another. It is also imperative that one understand what being in each tier means.

Feel free to discuss anything in the comments below. Please be civil as well. If you find any mistakes in the aspects on the table compared to the breakdowns - please let me know. I tend to overlook somethings when I'm working on a lot of things.

The video will be added later. It had issues when uploading therefore needs some fixing. It contains a talk about Evelyn, Skarner, Hecarim, Kha Zix, Zed, Xin Zhao, Rammus and more.

NOTICE - I just realized I made (minor) mistakes on some scores (like Vi and Udyr). When I post the video - they should be fixed up.

This is the first tier list for Season 3. The previous ones were mostly loose predictions for which junglers may be placed and whatnot.
