Jungle Lane Tier List: S-Tier Jungle Lane Picks Of LoL Patch 14.12
3. Kha'Zix
Kha'Zix is sitting on a 50.65% win rate right now.
Build:
Kha'Zix is a traditional assassin in the jungle who will want to surprise squishy opponents and jump on them in the backline. Make sure to pick the Gustwalker as your jungle companion and then build Ghostblade first. You can then either pick Opportunity or Edge of Night second.
Power Spikes:
Kha'Zix is a champion you want to pick for the early game. He's a great early game pick who can gank and skirmish frequently, gaining an upper hand in the jungle.
Counters:
Tanks are his biggest enemy since he can't burst them down like with squishy opponents.
Good Synergies:
There are multiple options for Kha'Zix, but other strong early picks who like to roam are great. Winning just a few duels early in a 2v2 situation will accelerate Kha'Zix to the top with ease.
2. Nocturne
Nocturne has reached new heights thanks to the item changes. Her win rate shot up to 52.60%.
Build:
As a skirmisher, you'll want to go for Stridebreaker first. Then, pick up Experimental Hexplate for some added attack damage and attack speed. The third item will depend on your enemies. If there are more squishy champions then assassin items like Eclipse are good, but if the enemy has more bruisers and fighters, then Black Cleaver is good as a third item.
Power Spikes:
Nocturne's early game is pretty average. Here, your fight is to gain as much experience as possible. It's the mid-game around the 15-minute mark when you truly shine.
Counters:
Shaco is probably the most annoying champion for Nocturne to deal with. If he's banned, then also look to eliminate Udyr and Rek'Sai.
Good Synergies:
There are multiple champions to pair with Nocturne, like Neeko who can capitalize on his ultimate. Other than that champions that want to go in and fight in the mid game are also great to pick.
1. Lillia
Lillia an absolute Monster. He is currently demolishing solo queue with a 52.23% win rate.
Build:
While Blackfire Torch did get nerfed shortly after release, it will still be the first item you build on Lillia. Go for Liandry's next and then Zhonya's.
Power Spikes:
Lillia gets better the longer the game goes. You're going to truly spike with your ultimate, since it can dictate ights. Make sure to play safe in the early game and then once you're in the mid game after 15-minutes you're going to dominate.
Counters:
Make sure to ban Morgana and Bel'Veth since they're the biggest counter to Lillia. Bel'Veth can out-skirmish her and Morgana can ruin your day with her stun and Black Shield.
Good Synergies:
Yone is a great mid laner to pair with Lillia. Zoe can also be a great duo, especially if you can snipe enemies with ease thanks to Lillia's ultimate.
Jungler Tier List in LoL Patch 14.12: The Other Jungle Champions
While the S-Tier junglers tend to be the best, there are still a lot of perfect picks in case these champions aren't available. Let's also take a look at some of the bottom-tier champions, which you should take note of and avoid!
The A-Tier Jungle Picks of LoL Patch 14.12
If you're not a fan of the S-tier picks, or they are banned, this is where to look. The A-tier champs are good, but don't warrant nerfs, so they are usually about the same.
| Champion | Win Rate | Pick Rate |
| Rek'Sai | 50.99% | 2.29% |
| Viego | 50.51% | 11.95% |
| Morgana | 52.01% | 1.12% |
| Amumu | 52.30% | 3.97% |
| Shaco | 50.94% | 5.95% |
| Kayn | 51.02% | 5.52% |
| Rammus | 51.37% | 2.31% |
| Warwick | 51.98% | 3.35% |
| Taliyah | 51.03% | 4.84% |
Morgana has risen in priority thanks to the domination that Lillia has shown. This makes her quite a useful pocket pick to have in the jungle these days.
Taliyah continues to be a very strong jungle pick with only a few downsides to her, and she could easily also be a part of the top 3 this patch again as well.
The F-Tier Jungle Picks of LoL Patch 14.12
If you want to win, just stay away from these champions, basically no point in playing them unless you're a one-trick.
| Champion | Win Rate | Pick Rate |
| Rengar | 45.85% | 2.25% |
| Gwen | 49.38% | 0.58% |
| Pantheon | 48.96% | 0.78% |
| Zed | 46.48% | 0.78% |
While some of these champions are strong, they aren't good in the jungle role. Just play them somewhere else instead and you should be fine. The jungle just isn't meant for every single champion in the game.
These are the best champions currently, but we're going to see which items get nerfed, and we expect Blackfire Torch to be one of them.
