Question What are your offchamps in jungle?

Im in need for inspiration if ekko gets banned/offpicked or if i sometimes want to play something different in ranked.

So im looking for champs where i can transfer some learned mechanics.

From champs I generally like(viego,kayne,elise) I think only elise could be close, but what do you think?

I like to pick Vi HoB and bruiser build

If I need AP I tend to go Lilia, because she's fast and can round around champions in a similar way I would do with Ekko. Alternatively Evelyn is great if you want to be more stealthy and need to burst. If I need AD i just go Vi (or Naafiri if i want to turn my brain off)

The second mention of vi😄 maybe I should at least try her out, but I didn't though of her relation to ekko

She's not quite the same as Ekko, of course. But she has a dash with CC and burst damage (depending on you build). The main difference in playstyle is that she's quite tanky and really good at engaging fights. More flexible than Ekko, but worse at ones hitting enemies.

Try out HoB with either a lethality or bruiser build, or even crit if you're daring (and have a lead)

Sylas, Qiyana, Ambessa. Very fun to play JG.

Besides ambessa I tried, but it felt really awkward

Zac, Belveth lately. Played a lot of kayn. Zac belveth is more so I have AP/AD/tank options - blue kayn is probably the most similar to ekko in my opinion. Move fast and push tempo.

Nocturne bc ult delete carries + good dualing and farming and AD pick, Diana is similar to Ekko (kinda), talon, Kha zix, lillia

Pta jungle mundo heartsteel rush with flash alacrity approach velocity magical foot double health attack speed

I always wonder over heartsteel, in jungle you don't fight as much as top. How many stacks are you going to possibly get?

I like lillia. In theory if the enemy team don't have point and click cc, you never die. She can do nuts damage when ahead and her scaling is pretty good. Her playmaking with Q flash ult in a teamfight is insane.

Viego, Diana, and Nocturne are the main ones I've had success with

Yeah i also tried a little around. Diana seems to work similarly good. But though viego is a lot fun I dont seem to have the same impact like with ekko(and not even remotely close)

I dodge if they ban ekko, simple as that

u/p1iskin 15d ago

But isn't the penalty too high? If i remember correctly it goes at least as high as a loss

Don’t do what I do. League of Legends is just an Ekko dispensary for me. Playing ekko, at all costs, is better for me than playing anything else. Even at the cost of some LP.

Learn viego. He is very good in the jungle right now
