The jungle role in League of Legends is one of the most important and polarizing undertakings in the game. Junglers dictate the pace early on and pave the path toward victory in a League of Legends contest. Junglers are also the most common players on the receiving end of toxicity, as they are often expected to set their teammates up for success.

There are certain champions who excel in the jungle more than others, and this rings true during Patch 13.10 of League of Legends. This article will list five champions in the jungle that League of Legends solo queue players should try out to carry their team.


Kha'Zix, Amumu, and Jarvan IV are some of the best junglers in the current League of Legends patch

1) Kha'Zix

Kha'Zix is the top pick in the jungle meta right now. Sitting at a 52.08% win rate, 19.64% win rate, and a whopping ban rate of 46.09%, Kha'Zix stands at the top of the League of Legends jungle champion pool unmatched.

Kha'Zix has boatloads of damage which is amplified further if the target is not surrounded by allies. He is a fantastic skirmisher in the early game. The chaotic nature of the solo queue allows Kha'Zix to get multiple picks on multiple enemies. The vision game is also not as favored in solo queue, which gives Kha'Zix free reign on the map, especially with items such as Umbral Glaive.

It may be hard to get your hands on Kha'Zix due to his high ban rate, but if you do find yourself in a lobby where he isn't banned, make sure to swap your pick order with your teammates to get yourself a free win.


2) Fiddlesticks

Fiddlesticks has been an underrated pick in the jungle role for quite some time. He has a 52.35% win rate, 3.45% pick rate, and 3.41% ban rate in Patch 13.10 of League of Legends.

Fiddlesticks is known for his extremely quick and healthy jungle clear. His impact in team fights with his ultimate, Crowstorm, is exceptional as it deals a large amount of damage and provides reliable crowd control.

Fiddlesticks is a jungler that takes some time to master when it comes to clearing jungle camps. Once wielded, you can get some ridiculously fast clear times and use your tempo over the enemy jungler and impact the map through ganks to acquire free LP.


3) Graves

Graves has been a popular champion in the League of Legends solo queue, regardless of his power level in the meta. He has held a steady 4-8% pick rate throughout Season 13 of League of Legends. Graves holds an 8.92% pick rate along with a 50.63% win rate and a 2.76% ban rate in Patch 13.10 of League of Legends.

The recent changes to Youmuu's Ghostblade, with the item now being classified as Mythic, have made Graves a popular pick to solo carry games. He has a lot of innate endurance thanks to the passive on his E ability, Quickdraw, granting bonus armor for each use of the ability.

Graves can output an extremely high amount of damage and obliterate squishy targets in the enemy team. His W ability, Smoke Screen, is one of the most underrated abilities in the game and can singlehandedly take out ADCs from a teamfight.


4) Amumu

Amumu is a solid pick for beginners looking to play the jungle role. He has a 52.62% win rate, 5.40% pick rate, and 3.03% ban rate.

Amumu's easy-to-grasp mechanics and safe jungle clear makes him a great option for jungle mains to carry their team to success. He deals a considerable amount of damage whilst being a good frontline with the Demonic Embrace and Jak'Sho, The Protean two-item core.

Pairing this up with a Sunfire Cape makes him a legitimate threat to one-shot carries in team fights with his Q, Bandage Toss, and ultimate, Curse of the Sad Mummy. Amumu is a reliable champion for proactive junglers who look to set the pace of the game early on and contest objectives constantly.


5) Jarvan IV

Jarvan IV is renowned in the League of Legends community for his lethal level-two ganks with his signature E-Q combo. This often guarantees a first blood for his team and gives a good start on the road to victory. He currently has a 51.90% win rate, a 7.37% pick rate, and a 6.13% ban rate.

Jarvan IV is an extremely strong early-game skirmisher thanks to his high burst damage and some "tankiness" through his W ability, Golden Aegis, providing him a shield.

Jarvan IV is also an excellent initiator to kick off team fights with his ultimate, Cataclysm, to isolate valuable targets for his team to focus on. Jarvan IV can potentially snowball the early game through repeated ganks and invades.

The Exemplar of Demacia is one of the best choices in the solo queue for jungle mains in League of Legends who love to gank at every opportunity.
