What is Jungling anyway?

Jungling is the act of killing neutral monsters, which are based in the jungle portion of the map. Another definition for Jungling, however, is the act of one champion roaming across the map, ganking other lanes and killing the opponent laner and taking the farm available in the jungle and the neutral monsters that occupy it.

Here is picture of the jungle and the neutral monsters in it:



The champions I like to jungle are Shaco, Kha'Zix, Lee Sin,Warwick, Fiddlesticks, Amumu, Trundle, Nocturne, and Hecarim. You usually start of with Hunter's Machete which is a great item for junglers, and 5 Health Potions.

 For Summoner's Spells, you should take:

Smite and Flash
         OR
Smite and Ignite
         OR
Smite and Exhaust

The jungle gives a lot of experience and gold. After you hit level 2 or 3, you should gank other lanes to get kills or assists to get even more gold and buy more jungling items. For people starting jungling, I would recommend using Warwick or Trundle because you have good health sustain in the jungle.  The Jungler is a important role in any team composition. Jungling is really fun but you need cooperation with your teammates when ganking.
