Hey !

I am looking for a GREAT melee bruiser and jungler. So, i'm asking you guys to help me pick 3 of the top bruisers and junglers in your opinion. Please give an explanation if you can.

Thank you !

Bruisers :

Top 3 Early Game : Lee Sin - Renekton - Riven
Top 3 Late Game : Jax - Irelia - Shen (although shen might not 100% be a bruiser)

Junglers :

Top 3 Early Game : Shyvana - Skarner - Lee Sin
Top 3 Late Game : Malphite - Nautilus - Warwick

Thank you for your answer. If you can, can you summarise your answer to 1 bruiser and 1 jungler? By the way, when it comes to junglers, i will be buying a jungler that can lane very well at the same time.Thanks again.

A little difficult to narrow it down to 1 champion each. Lee Sin, Udyr, and Jarvan are all quite capable solo-top and jungle.

But isn't Lee becoming more and more nerfed?

I dunno.. I haven't seen any nerfs lately. His Jungling is still quite good and if he gets a few kills he wreck mid game. Late game he's mostly just an annoyance but with his versatility he transitions well into a supporty-bruiser late game.. Especially now that Twitch and Eve got reworked, you're going to see a lot more of them so Lee will be a good pick versus them.

He's not the BEST at any place or stage in the game but he is a jack of all trades, so to speak.. Meaning that he can solo-top decently, jungle decently, and do fairly well throughout the game assuming you're an experienced player with him and can adjust your mindset based on how you are doing compared to the enemy team.

With lots of early kills/ganks, he can be a wrecking machine.. without them, you have to take a more defensive mindset and use your abilities to assist your team for the greater good. Sticking to a carry with a tanky Lee Sin can be quite effective,

A good Lee Sin can do almost anything. He's trickier to use than you might think, but once you get the hang of him he can shred people apart.

Sadly, I suck with him. Hope it turns out differently for you.

just pointing out that skarner and shyvana are both late game not early because they both need to have their ults for a good gank

That doesn't really make them late game champions. Late game champions scale well into team fights.. early game champions are good at laning/early ganking, mid game champions are good at roaming/small skirmishes/buff control.

Skarner and Shyvana are mid-game champs.

My top 3 are: Skarnar, Udyr, and Shen.

They all scale well into late game. IMO...even Skarnar (sorry to contradict Etherimp), he's got a nice AS buff and that ulti and slow are always good.
