Being the guy who wrote that little section on the jungling page I feel it's prudent I make something clear here. :3

I went through several revisions of what I wanted to put in the jungler section when I was drafting it up. The overall grouping of Control/Ganking/Farming junglers never changed but I did at one point consider adding subtypes to each of them. Then I realised - these subtypes aren't really related to the champion AS A JUNGLER and are just simply the way the CHAMPION ITSELF is played, which I note in the pretext on the page.

I'll give a good example. Say you want an AD assassin jungler. Picking out three in particular -, and. All three will generally tend to act like assassins, which they're obviously good at doing. But as junglers they behave very differently - Rengar is an amazing ganker and he's very strong at pressuring lanes from unconventional angles and distances with his ultimate and innate. Zed is far more focused on farming, being one of the fastest clearing junglers in the game and probably the only assassin who can legitimately make something out of farming. Kha sits somewhere between them, being moderately fast and moderately good at ganking.

It's important when you categorise things to ensure that you keep your attributes relevant to the role, lest you end up trying to make too many specific categories at once. :)
