Rammus owns because he renders all the annoying characters whose name start with Y unable to play the game. Yasuo, Yone, master Yi... The last thing they hear is a mumbled "ok".

Sadly that's only really true for the beginning of the game. Yi eventually gets to the point where he shreds through rammus no matter how much armor he has.

90% of the time when I play Rammus against a Yi, he kills himself on me before he can kill me.

What's the easiest, most babbys-first-jungler jungler?

its 100% udyr and dont listen to the people steering you wrong. other good first time junglers include: warwick, nunu&willump, and vi. i dont believe in the rammus hype like other people do -- it certainly is a good pick into entirely AD teams, but other than that and the predator rammus cheese i find in many games rammus just sort of exists without being much of a problem in the way that something like a vi or a warwick provide just by existing

E: also as someone who has never lost a game as amumu the guy isnt too hot right now and probably dont bother playing him at all for any purpose

Hecarim is a very easy first jungler. AOE clear built into his abilities, sustain, knock back and an aoe fear.

udyr is good and fun and pretty easy but i feel like he's a bit like singed in that you don't learn to play jungle, you learn to play udyr, if that makes sense. in that like his entire reason for being is getting away with bullshit.

of the junglers that are winning games and getting lots of play right now, udyr, hecarim, khazix, reksai, nunu, skarner are all fine choices. stick to characters you will see a lot if you dont pick them so you can learn stuff about them in games where you are playing someone else

you're gonna lose some games if you dont look up a route for whichever one you choose so you should do that as well and other than that just focus on killing camps and ganking people. goons are gonna tell you about objective control and all that bullshit but ignore them and just find ways to gently caress up other players first and foremost, pick up dragon and rift herald timings and that poo poo when the idea no longer stresses you out

Good solid advice. I'm gonna try udyr next time I'm forced into jungle, I even have spiurit guard udyr. But something truly terrible happened to me just now. I had just managed to scrape together 200 tokens and bought an event orb, and in that orb was another orb, no shards or anything. And in that orb, I got one (1) ward skin shard. So two orbs, one terrible ward total. What the actual gently caress Riot

yeah orbs are a huge trap, I feel like champ tokens are the best bang for your buck (even if you have every champ as you can just dust them to buy rune pages, chromas when they do that sale etc etc) but I'm sure there's some weird reddit post detailing the mathematical best thing to buy

I've got a bunch of pages available from back in the day, but I don't ever use them and instead just reset a single page every game. Keeps me from being too lazy with my rune choices and gets me thinking about team comps and counters more actively than if I just set my Enchanter Page and snooze until the spawn-in sounds play.

I have four, with three set pages and one that rotates. Even on the off chance I do play Lux, Ezreal, or Illaoi, I usually forget I have specific pages for them and end up remaking them in the fourth slot anyway.

Its something I like a lot about wildrift, champion has their own pages so once you've made a preferred page its always there and when you pick a champ it defaults to their page you've made for them. You can have multiple per champ too so if you do have like two variations depending on team comp you can set them.

Same, but until the 15 min mark where one team ffs at random, so the runes rarely come into play.

Yeah it's not necessarily good but sometimes you find something glorious that somehow works for a single game. Support lux with press the attack destroys lane at level one if you hit a Q, accidentally won a game that way.

this would be the not stupid way to do it in the PC version also but they don't want to hurt the feelings of the players who bought them for realmoney back when they were pay-to-win instead of pay-to-not-be-annoyed-by-stupid-UX-design

he got a hefty poison buff but itemization is still weird. his best mythic options are riftmaker, which is theoretically decent but practically too weak to really take advantage of, liandry's, which makes him feel like he's made out of paper, and chemtank, which leaves him dealing such weak damage he's little more than a fling bot.

re: jungle talk, I think Warwick and Skarner are very good picks for new jungle players, I have noticed that (at my assuredly low elo) they are always very effective even though they are likely being played by people who are basically brain dead.

Until they changed it like a bunch of cowards, Seraphine got her power from crystals taken from the bodies of Skarner's family. A bunch of people were really mad about this plot point for some reason.

Dont be in such a hurry to grow up, since there's nothin' a kid can't do.
The crystals are like their souls and they're still alive, and when the crystals are used it's like torture. It's not really worth getting mad about but they did apparently make a character who knowingly uses torture magic to make pretty songs and didn't really think about that.

Also it's not just Skarner's family, it's his entire race, which is being genocided by Piltover and Zaun for the hextech crystals needed to make anything hextech work.
