White smite is garbage. Practically nobody picks it. Maybe on Nunu in troll scenarios where you just want to be a dick, and even then, you're Nunu. You do that anyway.

So is the champion.gg site wonky? It lists Kayle, Warwick, and Diana in the top 6 junglers in the game. Maybe it's just one of those skewed stats because only people who are really good with those junglers play them?

Kayle is actually good. Sated is ridiculous on her in soloq. Warwick? He's easy and barely anybody plays him. Probably skews things.

Diana's stats are skewed by her high banrate and the weirdness of their 'performance' formula. I don't put much stock in that particular stat.

Man I'd love Diana to be a good jungler though. I tried it a lot previously and it was always just a little bad in places, I'd be super stoked if she became a really solid pick for me.

Is Diana getting banned a lot? I've never seen her banned in any of my games, but that might also be ELO differences. In which league are you?

Diana is a pretty good jungler from my experience, I remember spamming a few games with her when Runeglaive came out. Would be interesting to see how she works with DMP, seems like that would be pretty good on her. Adds a lot of stickiness and tank stats.

Jungle Diana is legit. Runeglaive and 1250g NLR are godlike on her.

Oh, this is just according to champion.gg stats. That's why I think it's a wonky stat. She's the third most banned mid right now, but people aren't really banning mid champs at the moment.

Sounds about right for solo q though. Kayle and Diana are both at a very good place right now and they have the DPS to be carries from the jungle. WW is just a really safe pick and easy initiation. Chances are the enemy team won't punish your lanes all that hard while you afk farm your way to level 6 for reliable ganks.

Stalker's or Ranger's. Build NLR items. Nashor's if you want the CDR.

If you want to counterjungle, it's often more about smart positioning and invading, and ability to 1v1 / shove out of his own jungle the enemy jungler.
If you move smartly you won't need the shorter smite to steal a camp (and you're rarely going to steal them all anyway), and if you're going to go fight the other guy and force him to recall before his laners collapse the red smite is more powerful.
Cant take LMS hipsters serious.

I don't know where all the trailblazer hate is coming from. Trailblazer is a great item when you need to keep your mana and HP up in the jungle. It's especially good on Mumu who has mana problems. It's overall a safer option to buy. Chilling smite is better if you're committed to snowballing the game through ganks, but Mumu's ganks are mediocre until he gets his ult. His ult is also on a really long cd which gives him time to farm the jungle between ganks. If you want to snowball the game through ganking then you should probably pick a different jungler.

There's that, and like 95% of players on champion.gg and probuilds are building trailblazer.

What Slayer was saying is that if you run Runeglaive Enchantment instead of Cinderhulk, you don't have Mana problems.

Of course, Cinderhulk gives you more defensive stats, but Runeglaive has more damage with the Sheen proc, so take that into account.


I'm more referring to the general consensus on the item and using Mumu as an example. Regardless of the enchant, trailblazer is the most popular jungle item on the mummy by far and shouldn't be discounted for the reasons given.

Only ever trust win rate. Lots of sites have these weird "performance" ratings which is like a culmination of their CS and KDA and damage and etc etc etc. And all of that is dumb and useless. Win rate is what matters. It doesn't matter how they do it.

E.G. Champion.gg says that the top 6 junglers are


Skarner, Shyvanna, Xin Zhao, Kayle, Warwick, Diana


The actual top 6 junglers are Skarner, Xin Zhao, Amumu, Warick, Kayle, Rammus

Shyvanna is 16 in win rate. Diana is 8. Maybe droping low play %'s is fair, but even if you do that its a long ways to Shyvanna

Olaf was decent to good late season 2, he didn't receive any changes to become a beast in season 3, it was all changes to other champs and items that made him into what ended up Olaf'd.

Here's a terrible idea: What if using the white smite on a camp increased its respawn time by some flat amount of time? It's not a mechanic riot would ever implement, but it might make counter jungling feel more like it used to.

Scip said that purple smite sucks so I never take it on anything, even Xin. I really like my red on him.
Americans don't like to use unblockables, it is considered not honest. You press a button at the wrong time and hit the other person, you are random, not a top player. You DP Sim's far fierce, it is random and not honest.
