These Are 7 Best AD Junglers in LoL
Lee Sin
While Lee Sin may be the best jungle champion in the league overall, there’s a reason I ranked him at #7.
First of all, Lee Sin’s damage output to both jungle monsters and enemy champions in the early game is very high.
He’s a dominant pick who often takes early advantage and snowballs his early game lead to carry his team.
Lee Sin’s kit is packed with mobility and his outplay potential is nearly limitless.
You have your Q to deal damage to the enemy and close the gap, your W to save your teammate or get out of a sticky situation, and your R to remove your target and kill them.
The great thing about Lee Sin is that no matter how far behind you are, you can still win a teamfight with a good kick.
For example, an InSec kick on an enemy ADC can turn a fight into a 5v4 and change the direction of the game. And if you’re interested, here’s my step-by-step guide on how to InSec kick on Lee Sin.
Lee Sin’s build typically revolves around AD fighter items that give him damage and some defensive stats like healing or increased flat health.
However, Lee Sin can also go for a full-on lethal build and nearly triple his damage output.
Overall, Lee is a fantastic AD jungle champion and will never be completely out of the meta.

1. Viego
Vigo is another powerful jungler pick that is a must-have if you want to climb in League of Legends.
While Vigo’s ability kit is very simple, it’s useful all around. For example, Vigo has no problem clearing jungle camps because most of his damage comes from auto attacks.
And since Vigo’s lifesteal is buffed after each cue cast, he’s a relatively easy jungler to play.
When it comes to ganking, Vigo has an invisible shroud and a stun. Both his W and E are great tools for closing enemy gaps as well as setting up successful ganks in every lane.
On top of that, Vigo is great against champions and is no stranger to attacking enemy junglers.
Depending on the matchup, Vigo can brutally defeat the opposing jungler by forcing them into constant 1v1 fights.
Now, when Vigo has another champion, his AD stops being important. However, for Vigo to use his passive and his resets, he needs enough attack damage for his ultimate (and the rest of his kit) to be effective enough.

2. Nocturne
Nocturne is another simple AD champion that you can use to solo queue, especially on lower elves.
Almost all of the Nocturne’s abilities deal physical damage and scale with the AD. And players either go for a set of bruiser items or a full lethal build which is always better when it comes to actually carrying your team.
Nocturne’s kit is so well designed that he’s always at an advantage after level 6. With his ultimate, Paranoia unlocked, comes global pressure.
Enemy players are forced to take a defensive stance in every lane because Nocturne can gank them from anywhere.
Paranoia allows Nocturne to attack first and control the start of every fight. After the initial dash, he can scare the target with E and also block the CC effect with W.
And these tools are great for killing a key member of the enemy team. If you haven’t already, give Nocturne a shot and you’ll see how powerful an AD jungler he is!

3. Graves
For the highest time, Graves was the go-to AD jungler in League of Legends. And while he has a bit of competition now, he’s still one of the best physical damage jungle champions you can play.
The first thing that makes Graves a great choice for the jungle is his ability to effectively clear camps.
His basic attacks deal damage to all monsters in front of him, not just the primary target. So even with a little attack speed, his camp is cleared.
Aside from being a ranged AD carry, Graves is actually a pretty durable champion. His E gives him bonus armor after using it, and his W helps him avoid damage and outlast his opponents.
On top of that, Graves scales very well in the mid and late game. If he gets enough leads early on, he’s perfectly capable of taking games 1v9.
And finally, Grave can fit into any team composition which is another reason why he excels in solo queue.
He is great at backing up long-range champions but he is also good at diving in with strong melee allies. So, definitely give Graves a chance

4. Kha’Zix
Kha’Zix is one of a best AD assassins in the jungle. I love everything about this champion, from the way his abilities work to the fact that he can outsmart even the toughest picks in League of Legends.
First of all, Kha’Zix has a decent jungle clean.
He has a mix of single-target and AoE damage, with enough self-healing to keep him going through the early game. Yes, he’s quite squishy, but you never feel weak playing him.
The great thing about Kha’Zix is that his burst damage becomes very high with just one lethal. After level 6, Kha’Zix can kill almost any isolated enemy champion with a full combo.
On top of that, this champion has more than just protective gear in his kit. For example, his E is a jump that can be crafted to reset after each kill/assist.
And his R can be made usable 3 times to be more stealthy while fighting.
My favorite part about Kha is that in each match you can go on a different evolutionary path and respond to any enemy on the Rift.

Conclusion
In addition to these 7, there are many other effective AD junglers in League of Legends.
For example, Kayn is one of the strongest champions in the entire game but he is very complex for new players and difficult to master.
But the champions on this list are all powerful AD picks that you can spam in solo queue or rotate between to take on different enemies on Summoner’s Rift.
There is never a bad time to play an AD jungler in League, so make sure you follow one of the picks seen above!
