Climbing in League of Legends can be tough, especially if you are stuck in the lower ELO. The task gets even harder when you play jungle, as you become the target of both your enemies and the ally team. Therefore, to make your task of climbing through rank easier, I would recommend a certain set of champions. Here they are!
Best Junglers for Low ELO
Master Yi
Master Yi is the absolute greatest jungler for low ELO. He is incredibly simple to play, yet, he does have a decent skill ceiling. This means that the champion is great for beginners, but those who master him get additional benefits.
This champion excels in the mid-to-late game. Once he buys a couple of on-hit items, he can casually slay multiple enemies at once. To excel with this champion, it’s best to play safe, farm, take objectives, and wait for item spikes later in the game!
Amumu
Amumu is yet another great ELO jungler, and one of my favorites. I am successfully using this jungler in Master ELO, and I am finding that even the most experienced players still underestimate this pick. The greatness of this pick comes mainly through his kit.
Ammumu has a great double charge Q stun which is so great for ganking. Even if we fail one charge, or the enemy flashes away, we still have one charge in reserve. On top of these stuns, we also have an AOE ultimate that can seal the deal when it comes to ganks. This ultimate is even more powerful when used in skirmishes around the map.
Lillia
Lillia takes a little bit of time to get used to, but once you do get used, the champion becomes perfect for low ELO. Lillia works much like Master Yi, where her primary goal is to get to mid and late-game unscathed. Afterward, she can wreak havoc upon enemies by applying burning poison to multiple people at the same time. On top of this, Lillia also has an ability that can stun and significantly damage up to 5 enemies at once, making her one of the strongest team-fighting champions.
Kha’Zix
Kha’Zix requires a little bit of experience, but he is not that difficult of a champ. He excels in low ELO for a multitude of reasons. First, he is pretty great at invading, which can enable you to earn early gold and snowball a game out of control. Second, Kha’Zix is also pretty great at taking down objectives solo.
Since most people in lower ELOs are kinda clueless when it comes to objectives, playing Kha can help you capitalize on this fact. You can simply solo do every objective, and outscale the game through smart macro decisions.
Zac
The final champion on our list is Zac. He is a great AP tank that can easily carry low ELO games. With his slingshot E, Zac can perform incredible ganks. This ganking ability makes him pretty great in the early game. In the later stages of the game, Zac can engage in fights and easily kill carries, while still maintaining his indomitable tank presence.
Final Thoughts
Climbing out of low ELO can be pretty hard, however, playing a good champion can make your journey much easier. If you are a beginner, I would recommend picks like Master Yi and Amumu. For those slightly more advanced, I would recommend picks such as Lillia and Kha’Zix, as these two can single-handedly seize games.
