OP Junglers to Climb With in Patch 13.21
The major Jungle changes that happened in Patch 13.20 have had a knock effect on Junglers in this and the upcoming 13.21 Patch. However, the Jungler role, and Junglers as a whole in Patch 13.21 are incredibly strong.
In this Mobalytics article, we’ll explore 5 of the best Jungle champions you can utilise in Patch 13.21. These top-tier choices are sure to boost your odds of climbing the ranked ladder and climbing in LoL.
If you want to learn more tips on how to play as any of these champions, head over to the Mobalytics’ Champion Page.
There are some other strong S-tier picks this patch. You can find more S-tier picks on the Mobalytics Tier List for Patch 13.21. Please note the data we are using is mid-patch data, all servers and all ranks.
Zac
Zac is the first champion on our list of best Junglers you should be playing in Patch 13.21! Zac is the perfect champion to help you climb this patch, thanks to how easy his ganks are to get off and his ability to singlehandedly carry games.
His play-making potential is quite high thanks to the range of his E, which he can use from the fog of war to surprise the enemy. He also has good objective control, which is crucial to winning games, as without taking those objectives, you’ll struggle to win!
Zac’s win rate on Patch 13.21 was 53% in 505,000 games.
Lillia
Lillia is the second champion on our list and one of the better AP Junglers right now. Playing Lilia is a good idea this patch, as she is a champion with good carry potential and can have a positive impact early on.
She is a strong skirmisher who can get a head early via ganks and taking major objectives like the Rift Herald and Dragons. Post 6, she can easily gank a lane, then activate her Ultimate to CC the enemy and then kill them. Usually, every gank post 6 will result in a kill or blown Flashes at a minimum.
In Patch 13.21, Lillia achieved a win rate of 52.6% in 606,000 games.
Ivern
The only support Jungler in LoL, Ivern is an S-Tier pick on Patch 13.21 thanks to his ability to impact his laners in the early game to start them off on a good path. He is a strong ganker who can provide tons of utility for his team.
One good thing about Ivern is that he can be played as the Support character for your team. This means the Support doesn’t have to pick a utility champion but can instead go damage like Senna, Zyra, or a tank like Leona and Blitzcrank.
On Patch 13.21, Ivern had 53.7% in 222,000 games.
Jarvan IV
If you read our previous article on the best picks for Patch 13.20, you would have seen we recommended players pick Jarvan IV, and we are recommending him once again in Patch 13.21!
Jarvan IV is a great early ganker and can start ganking from level 2 or 3 onwards. A good Jarvan will look to gank frequently and try to apply as much pressure as possible early on.
Jarvan’s win rate on Patch 13.21 was 51.1% in 1,098,000 games.
Evelynn
The final champion, but far from the worst pick of the 5, is Evelynn. It’s true her early game is not as dominant as the rest of the champions on our list, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t a great champion to pick up this patch!
Evelynn has great carry potential and can dominate the mid-game, thanks to her stealth. If she gets an early level 6, and an early kill or 2, no enemy is safe versus her as she can ignore wards and repeatedly gank the same enemy over and over again.
And finally, Evelynn’s win rate on Patch 13.21 was 51.4% in 509,000 games.
To Conclude
Regardless of our list, you should always be playing champions you enjoy and are good at. It doesn’t matter where we place them: as long as you have fun and play well on them, you should continue playing them.
You can find tips and tricks on how to play these champions on their Champion Page.
