These are the easiest champs to climb with in the Jungle for Patch 14.8
LoL: Jungle Lane Tier List For Patch 14.8
I searched through lots of statistics, so you don't have to. Who is the strongest in the jungle pick right now? No worries, I'll tell you.
With the introduction of Patch 14.8, the dynamics of the jungle have been shaken up. AD Bruisers are still very strong, but also champions like Rammus and Lillia made it into S Tier.
If you've been wondering which champions are now standing tall in the jungle hierarchy, you're in for a treat. Let's break it down:
Jungle Lane Tier List: S-Tier Jungle Lane Picks Of LoL Patch 14.8
1. Nocturne
Nocturne is sitting on a 51.32% win rate right now.
Build:
The best build for Nocturne is the new Experimental Hexplate into Eclipse. Turns out, you don't need the slow from Stridebreaker if you are just really fast. You should use Lethal Tempo as your Rune. Take the red jungle item.
Power Spikes:
Nocturne is strong in the early game, but falls off in the mid game. Make sure you always pick out the enemy sidelaners with your ultimate to get ahead early.
Counters:
Nocturne is bad into champs that can CC and duel him well like Rammus and Jax
Good Synergies:
Nocturne works well with control mages, as they can set him up for ganks and also bring balance to the damage profile. He also works great with splitpushers as he can easily help in the 1 vs 1 on sidelane.
2. Briar
Ah, Briar. A champion that sends chills down the spines of her adversaries. How many times have you seen a 1 hp Briar versus two full life carries win? I bet it's a lot.
Build:
Briar is still an absolute monster. The lethality build got nerfed, so nowadays you rush Titanic Hydra into Sundered Sky. Make sure you take the green jungle item.
Power Spikes:
Briar is strong throughout the game, but she falls off in the late game.
Counters:
As Briar is auto-attack-based, Rammus is an extremely potent counterpick.
Good Synergies:
Briar does well with Control Mages, as they can set up her more easily and bring a safe source of wave clear.
3. Bel'Veth
Bel'Veth is an absolute Monster. She is currently demolishing solo queue with a 53.98% win rate.
Build:
You want to get a Kraken Slayer early and then go into Stridebreaker.
Power Spikes:
Bel'Veth is really strong at most stages of the game and with a few components you can start 1vs1ing people.
Counters:
Bel'Veth gets countered by champions that CC her to death like Sejuani and Fiddlesticks or Poppy who can lock her down.
Good Synergies:
She is really good around CC heavy champions.
Jungler Tier List in LoL Patch 14.8: 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 14.8
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 |
Skarner | 51.31% | 5.6% |
Rammus | 50.36% | 3.1% |
Kindred | 53.91% | 3.2% |
Diana | 50.44% | 9.0% |
Vi | 51.56% | 5.8% |
Amumu | 52.13% | 4.2% |
Skarner is pretty strong after his rework.
The D-Tier Jungle Picks of LoL Patch 14.8
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 |
Sylas | 48.66% | 3.0 |
Volibear | 49.23% | 5.5% |

Lee Sin | 46.89% | 10.1% |
Some of these Champions look excellent on paper with the new items, but they are just not working out, sadly. These champions are just too hard for the lower elo brackets in most cases but have some of the highest play rates.
