Best Ganking Jungler Champions in LoL  (Season 14)

#5 Nunu

Nunu has come a long way since his OG days. While before the rework his main strength was… “dancing” (rip Disco nunu), he’s now a great all-round jungler who particularly excels at ganking. 

This is primarily thanks to his W ability. When Nunu uses his W, he creates a large snowball and gains significantly increased movement speed as he rolls it. The snowball also knocks up and damages enemies on impact. Unsurprisingly, this high mobility and CC combo allows Nunu to effortlessly gank lanes and catch out overextended enemy laners before they have time to react. This is especially the case in low elo, where players often forget to place deep wards down to counter Nunu’s speedy pathing.

Once Nunu hits level 6, he can also use his ultimate — an AoE that deals phenomenal damage and slows those within its range — to set up even more ganks. For example, Nunu can strategically hide in a bush or position where the enemy lacks vision, cast his ult, and then decimate his target as they unknowingly path into it. 

Nunu isn’t just great at ganking though; he also has excellent objective control and stays useful throughout the various stages of the game. However, he is weak against disengage champions, so be mindful of that if you do decide to pick him up.
