If you start wolves and get your team to help you should be fine with most junglers. Probably need to start cloth/5 though. Otherwise, I think Fiddlesticks and Amumu can jungle decently with minimal leashing. | ||

What good is 1.5% less damage when you have 2.5k hp. its 37 extra damage before you die. thats pretty pointless. For archmage to give you as much AP as an amp tomb you need 400 ap. Its all to low to basicly have much impact. Uh, it's 4 mastery points. Getting 435 gold from 4 mastery points doesn't happen ANYWHERE ELSE, except for scaling masteries which aren't very good early game, even out with flat mastery points in midgame, and outscale in the late game. At 160 AP, it's netting you 8AP, which maths out to around 42G/point. You'll have around that when you finish your first big item + some dorans (or guise or whatever.) It's a scaling mastery (though it doesn't scale with level), and is roughly acceptable when compared to other scaling masteries. Of course it does shit all in the early game. Scaling runes don't do shit in the early game either. Sometimes you want more early power, even if it's not offensive power (you've already taken all the masteries that give you early power by this point) so you take early power in the other trees instead of going 21 offense. It's a decision to make, not a worthless mastery. They break even/exceed other masteries in the level 6-10 range, which is when an AP is really looking to excercise their power curve.

Amumu might work, but seems scary. In general, anything that can start boots3 at level 30 and clear with decent health levels should be able to start cloth5 pre-10/20. Fast natural clears or super sustain are a big bonus to low level jungling - slower junglers without good sustain/reliance on shields (Amumu, Nautilus) might be much more dicey. Do pick some of the budget T1 runes until you're level 20. They'll help, and they're dirt cheap IP.

I looked through the changes and he only got a 10 mana cost decrease per rank on his W and 50 mana cost decrease on his ult. Oddone was dead fuckin' wrong the whole time. A combination of asian teams/less well-known teams doing well with Ezreal, some of the more popular AD carries of olde got some nerfs, and strong laning/midgame phases being a more valued trait to have in your AD carry brought Ezreal into the spotlight where he is now. | ||

All the qualities she has that are pro-jungling (good ganking, fast clearing, wall jumping camps) can be even more effectively done from mid lane and meanwhile she's one of the most level and farm dependent champions in the game. If you enjoy playing diana that's great but you'll probably have much more fun playing mid lane. That's pretty much what I have been trying to tell people since she came out TT | ||

If you enjoy playing diana that's great but you'll probably have much more fun playing mid lane. It's entirely a question of matchups. Are her mid matchups good enough (or mid matchup, singular, as it pertains to a particular game) to allow her to do more from mid than from jungle? If yes, then she should go mid. If no, then jungle? The exact same question was and is pertinent in determining whether anyone else should lane or jungle. | ||

The common denominator is that jungles can be effective without huge farm and levels while diana can't. Lane matchups affects the picking order unless you essentially have no good lane matchups, but from what I've seen that's not the case with diana. | ||

The thing that bothers me about diana jungling is that she is looking to score kills and thus taking away kills from the carry's,while most junglers are looking to feed them.She needs loads of farm to be effective really,which the jungle alone does not provide. | ||

Since Trundle can already get away very easily with the ground and pillar, wouldn't taking exhaust be a better choice? Seems like it would improve his ganks a lot. | ||

I think Diana is more Nocturne-like than Shaco-like, she doesn't need to take kills to be useful. While she's certainly a heck of a lot stronger if she does get fed, ultimately she can get in a carry's face and distract/zone/kill them without needing to sap farm/kills from other champions. She suffers the same issues as Nocturne (e.g. can become fairly useless if behind or if an enemy gets fed), but to a lesser extent since she can still disrupt entire teams. | ||
