User blog comment:Rollnstoned/Types of Junglers/@comment-5544574-20130811133050

I honestly feel that the three categories provided on the Jungling page are more accurate.

Typically speaking, the 'True Assassin' isn't a proper category because the only reasoning for that is "They can bypass wards". Many champions fall under this category but also under other ones - Zac for example can bypass 'ward hotspots' but he has great CC power, and so falls under Gank Assister.

I'd also like to point out that IMHO, there are many champions that fall under both 'Duelist Ganker' and 'Gank Assister'. They do tend to lean towards one category but because they obviously provide a mix of damage and CC they are of both.

I will both link and mention the three types of Junglers that seem better, in one sense, to me.

[http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Jungling#Champions_of_the_Jungle Please click this link to find the Jungling page and the respective heading. As an administrational note I can't link a specific heading as an internal link, I've got to do it as an external link. Can somebody help me?]

Ganking Junglers: Junglers that tend to assist their laners and apply pressure to enemy laners. They tend to have poor clear speed or sustain but have very high CC or mobility. Examples listed are Jarvan IV and Rengar.

Farming Junglers: Junglers that tend to farm the jungle and spend little, if not none at all, attention to the lanes. They typically try to achieve the goal of getting as much farm as possible and become a threat as a 'third' laner - with enough items they have equal damage potential or utility through strong scaling off items. Examples listed are Nasus and Master Yi.

Control Junglers: These junglers are those that try and deny the other jungler as much as possible and assist allies through strong objective and map control, like champions who can do an early Dragon or Baron, or champions that can duel opposing junglers and come on front solely from leeching off the opposing jungler and his creeps. Examples include Nunu and Master Yi.

I'd just also like to point out a hierarchy here, to please my own literatural needs:

Ganking Junglers > Farming Junglers

Gankers will assist the lanes to snowball more, making a 'third' laner useless if the other two lanes cannot cope.

Farming Junglers > Control Junglers

Farmers (lol) will clear the jungle too quickly for Controllers to zone, and also have strong scaling power - once they get items they will be able to take on Control Junglers.

Control Junglers > Ganking Junglers

Controllers (lolagain) are able to keep to tabs on Ganking Junglers, and can countergank or take advantage of their absence by taking their jungle.
