The AP character with the best kit for jungling is Mordekaiser. And he struggles. In order to make him better you would need to decrease the CD on his shield and increase the damage.

Now imagine what that would do to his laning.

and thats the champ CLOSEST to being able to jungle. AP just doesnt translate to jungle well because in order to be good, they would be broken in lane.

Its just a concept that doesnt work.


Actually the AP character with the bet kit for Jungling is Amumu.

Eh, Fiddlesticks has a really good kit for jungling. Just not for jungling in this jungle.

You guys have never had a full ap mumu combo blown on you.

Part of the reason ap casters in the jungle is awful is because you need a lot of fucking items to make ap scaling really strong and jungling gives shit for money. It's why you don't see any ranged ad junglers do too well outside of the odd choices, which is comparable to stuff like heimer/karthus. Tankiness is cost effective and can work off limited jungle farm so tanky sustain champs rule the jungle. It's purely a matter of cost efficiency in the items.

wow that's massively rude and not really fair... we aren't playing all our starters and they are like 2100-2500 elo players lol

I thought you had a lot of good plays.

That first couple minutes were pretty bad but after that it got a lot better. Just that early sloppiness screwed you over.

And Treebeard was playing really bad :/

No reason that there can't be a tank sustain caster. Expecially when we have so many irrelevant AP Carry Mids that are just inferior versions of other champs.

i think so too, we made some critical mistakes early like me donating my double buff to trist who just got a kill but we came back really hard. it just wasn't quite enough. not bad for how good they are though

amumu's jungle is still pretty fragile, I think malphite jungle is better than amumu's, in terms of "ap caster jungle".

muffinqt and travis playing 1v1 with Varus on the PBE. His graphics don't look that great but his skills look interesting, especially his charge-up shot.

What annoys me as rumble is that there is no item which has ap and armor which makes sense vs bruisers in the laning phase. Absolutely nothing, now there are two vs AP with mr which makes sense. And now even better items for characters like ww top and I have no response.

Item looks like it's really cheap for it's stats but the mana on kill passive sounds terrible.

eh my point is that the vast majority of those tanky 'casters' are viable in the jungle. mao and naut are just the ones that come to mind that were actually played in tournaments.

so complaining that casters aren't viable in the jungle is kinda silly. it's AP carrys that aren't viable, not because they can't do it, but because they are so much better off in lane.

Just like how you can jungle cait or vayne, but they're so much better off getting real farm in lane.

I don't know why they keep making items that build out of Fiendish Codex when the existence of blue buff makes them suboptimal. A chalice upgrade is a really good idea, but adding it onto a bunch of really inefficient stats isn't going to make it desirable.

What makes amumu not a caster and morde or karma a caster?

Its just a playstyle thing to me. I dont care what you build as much as how you play. Its why I consider Mummy tanky dps and not a caster, just cuz his skills dont really feel castery. Like if you consider mummy a caster, then you need to consider Sej a caster too.

I definitly think getting ap on ammumu is good. But that doesnt really make him a caster in the same way that getting a frozen heart on ryze makes him tanky dps. I mean, they can have qualities of another class, but they play a certain way.

I think it would be pretty reasonable to take the cdr off blue buff. It would still be really valuable. If your hero doesn't have mana, tough shit.
