The BEST JUNGLERS To CLIMB in Patch 26.20 TIER LIST

Hey guys, welcome to my patch 26.20 updated jungle tier list. We're going to talk about the most broken champions on the current patch right now and all the changes during the patch notes. All right, so first things first, let's take a look at the patch notes and let's take a look at what champions have been changed. You have Diana buffs, Kindred buffs, and Lillia buffs. That's pretty much it that's happened this patch. All 3 of these champions got a pretty significant buff. So let's start off with Diana. Diana's shield bonus HP ratio went from 11% to 14%. When you go The build path of the Conqueror kind of like bruisery Diana build where you have Dusk and Dawn, Riftmaker. This could even be a Liandry's here. This can be Plated Steelcaps, Merc Treads. I don't have it in the guide here, but you could go the Omnivamp boots as well. It just makes Diana super duper powerful. You also have the Rocketbelt you can go. The extra HP with Diana makes her so much stronger than before. And so I'm going to quickly move her up here and just jump into the tier list making itself. Diana is probably going to be— R. Arguably an S tier champion right now. I'm gonna play her right after I make this video and really see how strong she is. But I'm confident in saying that Diana is probably an S tier champion at this point. And so yeah, Diana just has so much more strength now from the W modifier, and then her general build path works really well with the W buffs. All right guys, the next champion that was adjusted here was Kindred. She got a pretty nice buff on the W damage. She got 15% on the W here from 150 to 165, and this is. Kind of the big, big, big one right here. Slow duration from 1 to 1.5 seconds. So when you're chasing somebody, the hard thing about Kindred is sometimes you can't execute because you don't have any CC. You don't have any way to really kill them. You need a Red Buff. With this buff here to the Kindred E, you have more opportunity to make good plays in the early game. And so her early game strength has significantly increased. And so Kindred in general is not the easiest champion. And I will highlight that, like, you need to have some proficiency on her, but she is going to shoot up straight from D tier. To B tier here. I think she's much stronger of a champion now. She's in a much better position by far. I can even say that maybe she's in the A tier, but because, you know, your average Iron Damer player might not be able to pilot her too well, she's gonna stay in the B tier. If you are a Kindred OTP or you are above the rank of like Diamond, Kindred is very powerful. You should probably look into playing some Kindred. And as for the build path real quick, it's a pretty standard build path all around. And so Kindred build path, uh, you can go the Triforce Collector, pretty standard stuff. You could also go Kraken into Do Hex Optics. And so it kind of really depends. If you have a frontline, you go the Kraken. If you don't have a frontline, you kind of want to go the Triforce. And if you're omega giga ahead, you can go Hex Optics as well. And so in general, this is a pretty standard Kindred build path. There's nothing too crazy to it. Highly recommend the Scorch Claw so you can actually, you know, gap close, hit them, auto them. If you don't have the Scorch Claw, you're going to be really, really, really sad. And so yeah, every single one of these champions does have a pretty like mini guide like that. There's a little bit more in-depth to the champion as well if you scroll down on the guide itself. So if you guys want to use that, junglekingdom.gg/tierlist. And click on any single champion that you want to see. All right, guys. And the last champion that got buffed here— again, Lillia has been buffed 2 patches in a row now. Her R duration has gone from 2.5 seconds to now, instead of being flat 2.5, 2.5 to 2.75 to 3. And so her level 11, level 16 power spikes are even stronger than before. Here's the thing about Lillia though. Lillia fundamentally lacks high damage, consistent damage, and struggles into some specific team comps. I don't think she's going to be able to like perform in a way where she's like S+ Plus tier champion, but she's definitely a whole lot stronger than she was before. And so if, if I like rank these left to right, I would put Lillia all the way towards the left. In all honesty, she's definitely right below like what an S tier champion would be, but I don't think she actually is S tier all around. And so those are the main 3 champions that have been changed. Those are the new situations I would place every single one of these champions in. Also, Diana did not get moved up. There we go. I'll save that. And Kindred's there. There we go. And so what I want to highlight, guys, the S-tier champions that I always will recommend, it's going to stay kind of the same until they buff or nerf Shyvana, Briar, or Trundle. They will remain the owners of the Rift. Now there is a scenario, there's a world where let's say they buff a bunch of the AP junglers and Taliyah becomes meta and Zyra becomes even stronger. Same thing with like Lillia. They give her even more buffs. Then Shyvana and Briar kind of lose value. And so the only way Shyvana and Briar tend to get worse is if bruisers get weaker and ranged champions and AP champions get stronger. So it's kind of like a— like, what is it called? It's called the food chain, right, chat? Am I tweaking? Am I tripping? So it's kind of like the food chain. Whenever bruisers are at the top, there are some champions that just beat bruisers and have a really good time into those champions like Shyvana and Briar. And then sometimes, you know, AP champions get stronger and they actually like playing into Bruisers. And so then Bruisers will go lower on the food chain, AP champs would go higher on the food chain, and then you'd pick them and they'd be higher on the tier list. In this case, AP champions are just not the strongest as of right now. And that's why you don't really see Taliyah up there. You don't really see Gwen higher and other champions in that regard. And so S tier is almost always going to remain the way it is. Shyvana, stat checks, scales. Briar, stat checks, scales. Trundle, stat checks, scales. Scales very nicely. And now Diana is going to also stat check, scale, and be a problem on the Rift. All right, as for the A tier, most of these champions are either extremely easy to pilot and they have pretty decent stats or pretty decent wincon, or they are kind of like OP OP and they stat check anyone. They can just literally like kill anybody whenever they want. And so Udyr, AD Udyr can kind of kill anyone if you play that properly. He has so much damage. And he surprised a lot of people in low elo. Wukong, he's a little bit harder to pilot. As you can see, he's 4 stars here. So in general, you— he's not difficult. You can just smash your keyboard and you'll deal some damage. But when you're playing Wukong, you want 3 Qs every single fight. And usually people don't get the 3 Q combo. And so they make Wukong look a lot weaker than what he actually is. Master Yi has gotten so many buffs over time. He is very strong. He is a very good noob stomper. He has crazy stat checking ability as well. And Jarvan here, funnily enough, there is a bruiser version of Jarvan that I put in B tier and the lethality version of Jarvan. That I put in A tier. So I very clearly, like, distinctively put these guys where they belong because the bruiser kind of Jarvan just can't carry games as easily as the Profane Hydra style Jarvan where you're going like full lethality and you can one-shot people. You can actually actively carry games. Dr. Mundo debatably probably deserves to go down a notch. And so we're going to bring Mundo down and kind of say that Mundo just as a champion right now is just not as powerful as he was before. Although he can clear relatively fast, although he has a decent time, And he's pretty easy to play. He just overall isn't very clear to have a very obvious wincon in the game anymore. Amumu, standard champion, very easy to play, very easy to pilot, great noob stomper, great to learn the fundamentals. Won't ever really be S++ tier, but is always going to be like A and like in between the low S tier. Rammus, extremely easy champion, pretty good in certain situations where you have obviously full AD comps or you want to play a tank and you want to just Stop farming and be a tank. Udyr, AP Udyr, AD Udyr. Both these champions are very powerful, very great stat checkers. Not the easiest champion to play like at a perfect level, but at a lower tier level, like you'll play Udyr fine. Tips and tricks on AP Udyr really quickly. Do not use your Awakened E. That's like the number one tip I have. Stop using Awakened E. Awakened E is the worst spell on AP Udyr. Volibear honestly debatably might deserve to go down a notch or two. This champion just has been nerfed so many times over and over and over again. And I keep him up there Because I kind of love the champion still, but I know that this champion probably deserves like a B tier. I'll keep him there for now. If you guys want to complain, go complain, but I'll keep him there. He just isn't as strong as he was before. He can still stat check. He can still pummel people down. Don't get me wrong. He's great at stat checking, but he doesn't clear fast enough anymore to the point where you now need to get like free kills. And it's kind of hard to get kills on Volibear. As you know, you just run at people and they dodge you. So debatably, probably like a B tier champion. Xin Zhao here, very easy stock standard champion. Always going to be in the A tier. Zyra, she clears really quickly. She's not the easiest to pilot, but if you can get 10 CS per minute, you'll be up 1 or 2 items on people and you'll be able to dominate that way. We talked about Lillia. Now we have Fiddlesticks. Fiddlesticks is very difficult, but actually like underrated OP champion. I would kind of want to get coached by the rank 1 Fiddlesticks again to really just understand how to absolutely whip me 9/0 on this champion. And so for now, like if you really want a hard champion to play that is extremely broken, you can play Fiddlesticks. Viego has got the Bruiser And he has the crit build. And so the Bruiser build, I don't really highlight too much here. We just talk about the kind of full-on lethality build. But the Bruiser build is quite strong in itself when you go Kraken Slayer, Titanic Hydra. I'll be adding a guide around that soon. And then you also have the on-hit Mastery build instead of the crit Mastery build. Very powerful as well. As for the B, C, D, and F tier champions, if you see your champion in any of those ranks, just bear this in mind that any champion can work. And so you have someone like Daeumon, or you have someone like Hayabusa. Boss Angel, they make these champions work. Or NattyNat, for example. And they can play all these champions at a Challenger level. Every single champion you see here, for the most part, can be played at a very high level. My question to you is, do you want something really challenging when you are lower ranked and you're trying to climb? If you want to just climb, play the easy shit. You don't need to overcomplicate your climb. You don't need to overcomplicate things at all. You can just play the straightforward, easier champions and brute force more LP and make things amazing and easy and quick. Hecarim can be a very strong champion in the right hands, but in In general, he can be difficult. You can kind of throw games a bit easier. There's ways to lose on those champions versus pick a stat-checking champion. You kind of roll your head, like you just smash your keyboard, you roll your head on the keyboard and you'll beat people. And so that's the kind of real reason of how I'm ranking people or how I'm ranking champions in this tier list. And so I'll probably add this here, just like a general understanding of how I rank these guys. It's a lot of difficulty. It's a lot of time investment. It's a lot of like, what's easiest? What can you play tomorrow that will just give you results immediately? And at the end of the day, guys, if you want to play a champion that you love and you're just playing the game for the love of the game and you just want to play something to play something, just play it. There's like— don't let a tier list persuade you. But I assume if you're here and you're looking for a tier list, you want to play the best champions. I am showing you guys the best champions. I am showing you how to print free LP. For the most part, my tier lists haven't been wrong. I've been pretty accurate with my reads on the meta just because I interact with a lot of people who are in between the Iron and Emerald range. Now, don't get me wrong. If you are above the rank of Emerald, above the rank of Diamond, the tier list changes drastically. I haven't made an updated version of that tier list in about two patches. But if you really, really, really want to see what it looked like about two patches ago, this is what it would be. I would probably bring some champions up, some champions down. But for the most part, this kind of remains realistically the same. But it's definitely different from what you see in an Emerald and below tier list. Amumu is not going to be up there. Talon's actually S tier. And so there's a complete switch in champions that you see in the Emerald and below. And so guys, I hope this tier list was helpful. Again, if you want to look at any of these guides, they are there for free. You can use this at any point in time if you want to kind of get an understanding of a champion. There are pretty in-depth things to understand as to like how the build works, what goes on, what are the choices that you're making, what you want to be doing, what are some tips and tricks on the champion, your general things that matter the most, and then kind of like a flowchart of what you should be doing throughout the game.
