    What Makes a Good Jungler?

    — League of Legends (@LeagueOfLegends) January 8, 2025

    A strong jungler needs several vital traits:

    • Efficient jungle clearing (faster clears = more map presence)
    • Effective ganking tools (CC, burst, mobility)
    • Objective control (Dragons, Rift Herald, Baron)
    • Mobility & map awareness (knowing when to be where)
    • Adaptability (flexing between farming, ganking, and counter-jungling)

    Picking the right jungler based on your playstyle can make all the difference. Below, we break down the best jungle champions in the current meta.

    The BEST Junglers For All Ranks On Patch 14.24

    Best Jungle Champions in LoL (2025 Edition)

    Not all junglers are created equal, and in the current meta, some champions stand above the rest. Whether it’s due to high-impact ultimates, oppressive early-game pressure, or unstoppable scaling, these champions define the S-tier and A-tier jungle hierarchy. But what makes them special? Let’s break down why these picks are the absolute best—or just barely falling behind.

    Nocturne (S+)

    Eternum Nocturne Skin
    • Release Date: March 15, 2011
    • Last Changed: Patch 13.14
    • Class: Assassin
    • Role: Skirmisher
    • Tier: S+
    • Pick Rate: 6.1%
    • Win Rate: 51.33%
    • Ban Rate: 7.4%

    Subreddit

    Why in the list

    Nocturne’s Paranoia (R) is the definition of game-changing—a map-wide vision denial plus a free engage button. Unlike Kha’Zix, who relies on catching isolated targets, Nocturne simply removes vision, jumps in, and eliminates key carries before the enemy can react. His fast clear speed and strong early-game presence keep him relevant, but it’s his ability to influence every lane without even being there that makes him a top-tier pick.


    Viego (S+)

    King Viego Skin
    • Release Date: January 21, 2021
    • Last Changed: Patch 25.S1.2
    • Class: Assassin
    • Role: Skirmisher
    • Tier: S+
    • Pick Rate: 10.2%
    • Win Rate: 50.8%
    • Ban Rate: 12.3%

    Subreddit

    Why in the list

    What sets Viego apart from other bruisers like Wukong or Udyr? He doesn’t just fight—he becomes his enemies. Thanks to Sovereign’s Domination (Passive), every kill in a team fight turns into another champion, another ability set, another kill. He thrives in extended fights, snowballs off even a single good skirmish, and has the sustain to stay alive through it all. No jungler abuses messy team fights like Viego, making him a staple in any meta that favors skirmishing.


    Kha’Zix (S+)

    Mecha Kha’Zix Skin
    • Release Date: September 27, 2012
    • Last Changed: Patch 13.19
    • Class: Assassin
    • Role: Skirmisher
    • Tier: S+
    • Pick Rate: 11.2%
    • Win Rate: 51.14%
    • Ban Rate: 11.2%

    Subreddit

    Why in the list

    Unlike Nocturne, who forces a fight, Kha’Zix dictates when a fight happens. His Taste Their Fear (Q) shreds isolated targets, making him an absolute terror in vision-controlled areas like the jungle and river. He doesn’t need to brute-force fights like Wukong or Skarner—he simply waits, strikes, and vanishes. In a meta where squishy carries are everywhere, Kha’Zix remains the apex predator.


    Wukong (S Tier)

    Monkey King Wukong Skin
    • Release Date: July 26, 2011
    • Last Changed: Patch 13.7
    • Class: Fighter
    • Role: Skirmisher
    • Tier: S
    • Pick Rate: 5.8%
    • Win Rate: 51.3%
    • Ban Rate: 6.7%

    Subreddit

    Why in the list

    Wukong doesn’t play for picks like Kha’Zix—he plays for game-winning fights. His Cyclone (R) is one of the best AoE engage tools in the game, providing double knock-ups, massive damage, and unmatched crowd control. While he doesn’t have Viego’s resets or Bel’Veth’s infinite scaling, his reliability and flexibility make him one of the safest S-tier jungle picks.


    Lee Sin (S Tier)

    Storm Dragon Lee Sin Skin
    • Release Date: July 1, 2011
    • Last Changed: Patch 14.5
    • Class: Fighter
    • Role: Skirmisher
    • Tier: S
    • Pick Rate: 9.5%
    • Win Rate: 50.9%
    • Ban Rate: 8.4%

    Subreddit

    Why in the list

    Lee Sin isn’t just in the meta—he is the meta. His Sonic Wave (Q) and Dragon’s Rage (R) give him some of the highest skill expression in the game, allowing for infinite outplay potential. Unlike Viego or Nocturne, who thrive on raw stats, Lee Sin’s power comes from the hands of the player—he can do everything if the pilot is good enough. He’s S-tier because no champion can do what he does with the same level of precision and impact.


    Skarner (S Tier)

    Mecha Skarner Skin
    • Release Date: August 9, 2011
    • Last Changed: Patch 25.S1.2
    • Class: Fighter
    • Role: Disruptor
    • Tier: S
    • Pick Rate: 4.2%
    • Win Rate: 51.5%
    • Ban Rate: 9.1%

    Subreddit

    Why in the list

    Unlike Nocturne and Kha’Zix, Skarner doesn’t hunt targets—he drags them to their death. His reworked Impale (R) allows him to disable multiple enemies at once, making him one of the most oppressive engage junglers. Unlike Bel’Veth, who needs time to scale, Skarner is immediately powerful and doesn’t rely on items to be useful. If your team needs a frontline tank with unstoppable engage, Skarner is the go-to S-tier jungler.


    Udyr (S Tier)

    Spirit Guard Udyr Skin
    • Release Date: December 2, 2009
    • Last Changed: Patch 13.1
    • Class: Fighter
    • Role: Stance Switcher
    • Tier: S
    • Pick Rate: 4.8%
    • Win Rate: 52.4%
    • Ban Rate: 7.6%

    Subreddit

    Why in the list

    While Lee Sin plays for early impact, Udyr plays the long game. Thanks to his stance-based kit, he can adapt to any situation—more shields, more damage, more speed. His ability to stay on top of enemies is unmatched, and he benefits more than most from the recent attack speed buffs. While he lacks Nocturne’s global presence or Kha’Zix’s assassination potential, he never falls off, and that makes him S-tier.


    Bel’Veth (S Tier)

    Bel’Veth
    • Release Date: June 9, 2022
    • Last Changed: Patch 13.16
    • Class: Fighter
    • Role: Scaling
    • Tier: S
    • Pick Rate: 2.6%
    • Win Rate: 51.1%
    • Ban Rate: 5.6%

    Subreddit

    Why in the list

    Unlike Viego, who thrives in resets, Bel’Veth thrives in extended fights. Every kill she secures with Endless Banquet (R) increases her damage output, making her a hyper-scaling menace. The longer the game drags on, the stronger she becomes, making her the perfect pick for players who prefer patience over early-game dominance.


    Warwick (A+ Tier)

    Lunar Revel Porcelain Warwick Skin
    • Release Date: March 21, 2009
    • Last Changed: Patch 12.13
    • Class: Fighter
    • Role: Engage
    • Tier: A+
    • Pick Rate: 3.1%
    • Win Rate: 51.6%
    • Ban Rate: 1.4%

    Subreddit

    Why in the list

    Unlike Nocturne or Kha’Zix, Warwick isn’t an assassin—he’s a chaser, a bruiser, and a sustain machine. His Blood Hunt (W) gives him unmatched map-wide tracking, allowing him to find low-health targets and punish them. His simplicity makes him a great pick in lower elos, but his lack of game-changing engage or high-damage burst keeps him out of S-tier.


    Fiddlesticks (A Tier)

    Fiddle Me Timbers Fiddlesticks Skin
    • Release Date: February 21, 2009
    • Last Changed: Patch 13.10
    • Class: Mage
    • Role: Disruptor
    • Tier: A
    • Pick Rate: 2.5%
    • Win Rate: 51.3%
    • Ban Rate: 2.0%

    Subreddit

    Why in the list

    Unlike Lee Sin or Wukong, Fiddlesticks doesn’t need to be in your face—he’s waiting, watching, and striking when you least expect it. His Crowstorm (R) is one of the most devastating AoE ultimates, but he relies heavily on vision control and enemy mistakes to be effective. That’s why he’s A-tier instead of S-tier—when Fiddle works, he dominates, but when he’s shut down, he struggles to make an impact.


    FAQ 

    What makes jungler stand out in Patch 25.S1.2?

    In the current meta, junglers who provide strong engage, scaling, and assassination potential are thriving. Picks like Nocturne, Kha’Zix, and Viego dominate due to their ability to snowball games, while bruisers like Wukong, Skarner, and Udyr offer consistent frontline presence. If you’re looking to climb the ranked ladder, picking a meta jungle champion is one of the fastest ways to secure victories and control the game.

    How are tiers calculated?

    What separates S-tier from A-tier is consistency and impact. Nocturne, Kha’Zix, and Viego make the game impossible to play for enemies if they get ahead, while Wukong and Skarner guarantee game-winning engages. Meanwhile, A-tier picks like Warwick and Fiddlesticks are strong but situational—they don’t dominate every game but can be oppressive when played correctly.

    What are the best jungle champions for low elo?

    If you’re climbing in Bronze, Silver, or Gold, Master Yi, Lillia, and Ekko are great choices. Master Yi is a hypercarry that dominates late-game, Lillia provides speed and crowd control, while Ekko excels at outplays and burst damage.

    What changes are coming in Patch 25.S1.3 that could affect jungle meta?

    Upcoming changes include buffs to champions like Evelynn, Jax, and Swain, while Viego, Rell, and Jayce are getting nerfed. These shifts could slightly change the jungle landscape, but the current top-tier picks will likely remain strong.

    How do I improve my jungle gameplay in this meta?

    • Prioritize objectives like Dragons and Rift Herald to gain team-wide advantages.
    • Track the enemy jungler and counter-gank when possible.
    • Optimize your clear speed to stay ahead in gold and experience.
    • Adapt to team needs, whether that means farming, ganking, or controlling vision.
