Our latest League of Legends tier list for Patch 10.7 looks at the best junglers to play in this patch.

One of the most anticipated reworks in recent memory, Fiddlesticks has finally hit the Rift. While we and most sites don’t have a ton of data about how effective his reworked kit is, it’s still appropriate for us to kick off our Patch 10.7 League of Legends tier list in Fiddle’s likely main role: the jungle.

Our aggregated tier list pulled data from ten different sites around the internet to see how they each ranked the top junglers in the current meta. From that, we are able to give our average ranking of each jungler that was graded or listed in at least half of those tier lists. Without further ado, our latest League of Legends tier list.

Rising Picks

Wukong

While the Monkey King was undervalued after his mini-rework in our League of Legends tier list for Patch 10.6, in Patch 10.7 he has been elevated to his rightful place at the top of the list. He has both a solid win rate (51.3%) and pick rate (5.3%) on the current patch. This brought him into the A+ tier all the way from the C tier last patch.

Ivern

I didn’t think the buffs were that outstanding to help the Green Father, but apparently, the other internet sources disagree. Ivern has risen all the way from the F tier to the B tier, a massive rise in just one patch and the biggest improvement on our tier list.

Gragas

Gragas did see a 1.3% win rate improvement from the last patch, allowing him to rise from the D to high-C tier. While his win rate in the jungle for solo queue is still below 50%, he does have a top-10 pick rate for the role.

Dropping Picks

Zac

There weren’t many junglers that fell off too heavily in Patch 10.7, but the biggest drop among junglers was Zac. He dropped from solidly in the S tier down to the high-A+ tier with a modest (0.8%) win rate drop. However, the likely culprit for Zac’s drop in priority was due to the rise of one of his strongest counters, Ivern. Zac has a 44.8% win rate in the matchup as opposed to his overall 51% win rate.

Underrated Picks

Our pick for the most underrated pick in Patch 10.7 for junglers is Rengar, who has the second-lowest pick rate (0.7%) in Plat+ despite being solidly in the B tier. An honorable mention goes to Ivern who is also in the B tier (slightly below Rengar) with a 1% pick rate.

Overrated Picks

Fiddlesticks is our overrated pick of Patch 10.7 for junglers. I know everyone wants to try his new kit (which is why he has a 5% pick rate) but the stats don’t justify picking him in your ranked games. He has a 43.3% win rate and an average grade in the mid-D tier despite having a pick rate over 5%.

Buffed Champions

Ivern

We mentioned that Ivern has risen massively in priority and win rate following the buffs to his Triggerseed and Daisy!. As our underrated pick of the patch honorable mention, be sure to pick him if you’re able to play him.

Nocturne

Modest base stat buffs provided no real movement to the Shroud of Darkness, as he remains a “tweener” flipping between high-C and low-B tier.

Xin Zhao

Xin got a nice buff to the healing off his Passive, which did help bring his ranking up into the low-B tier. He also saw modest spikes to his win and pick rate following the buff.

Nerfed Champions

Wukong

Wukong came out of the gate strong so Riot took the opportunity to nerf his Passive and Nimbus Strike in Patch 10.7. Unfortunately, Wukong remains one of the strongest junglers in the patch and could be due for follow-up nerfs in the future.
