Fiddlesticks
If you’ve ever been extremely annoyed by a Karthus farming all game and pressing R to clear the team, then the bad news is that Fiddlesticks is becoming a version of that. After a low win rate early on due to many players understanding his playstyle, Fiddlesticks has gradually returned to climb to the top ranks of champions just like Karthus – farming all game and pressing R to clear the team.
Of course, the way Karthus and Fiddlesticks use their ultimates is different, but the overall playstyle of these two champions is the same; you need too much gold to build items and really only have an impact when you have your ultimate. The advantage of this scarecrow is that his ultimate can also terrify opponents and set up large team fights, rather than just pure damage.
Wukong
Perhaps we no longer have any flattering words to describe the “brokenness” of Wukong; this monkey is strong on top lane, and in the jungle, he can farm without losing health due to his passive providing too much healing and armor. Combined with previous buffs to jungle resources, Wukong has all the Fighter items needed to play normally, without losing power over time like many other jungle champions.
One of the biggest mistakes of Wukong jungle players is building lethality items like before his rework; however, this playstyle does not suit the new quality of this monkey. Instead, you need items that are half offensive and half defensive, such as Death’s Dance or Black Cleaver, to make yourself sturdier and survive long enough to unleash 2 knock-ups with your ultimate, Cyclone.
Graves
From the very start of Season 10, Graves has been seen as a highly potential jungle champion with new lethality items, especially the Shadowblade. As the resources in the jungle have increased sufficiently, and with buffs to healing from jungle items, Graves has officially returned in a powerful way. In recent patches, this champion has been favored by most pro players from Asia to Europe with a playstyle utilizing the Fleet Footwork rune.
Graves has a unique champion quality that allows him to attack opponents in bursts; if he lacks mobility, he can be very vulnerable during his reload phase and is easier to kill. With melee jungle champions being strong in the meta, the kite ability from the Fleet Footwork rune is much more necessary compared to damage from other support runes.
Zac
Since the buff to the Liandry’s Anguish item, Zac can farm the jungle extremely comfortably and gank effectively with a large amount of damage. With a pure tank champion quality, having the ability to gank early and effectively with just one item is too strong for Zac, allowing him to help his teammates snowball significantly.
As the game progresses, when possessing more tank items, Zac can comfortably absorb a large amount of damage for his teammates. Moreover, with his strong team fight skills, this champion is always at the forefront of every skirmish. In summary, Zac is an incredibly perfect champion for new jungle players with strong qualities, good ganking ability, and an easy-to-learn skill set.
