Jungling was my least favourite and successful role. I mean absolutely abysmal. I had tried Hecarim in the jungle but the results were sub par. Needless to say I never wanted to jungle again.

However lately I've seen a lot of bad junglers and noticed a general trend of people avoiding the jungler role. After reading a few basic guides on jungling I made a gamble and bought Nocturne a couple of days ago to practice my jungle with him. After 20 games with him ending in 17 victories, I can say I'm hooked with guy. Really fast clear times, good ganks, decent potential of counter jungling and duels. I build him as an offtank initiator with some AD and he becomes a beast late game. Mercs, FM, Atma, Randuins, Maw, Warmogs and you end up with 4.5k HP and 200 armor, 150 mr and 230+ dmg.

My only complaints are his insanely long CD on his ult (I think it could use some love, at least on rank 1) and his mana issues (hurts more to give blue buff to your ap carry compared to other junglers). Still I believe practicing with Nocturne helped me understand the jungle better and will certainly push me into getting more jungling heroes.
