Jungling is easily the best role to climb ranks

Discussion

I've been playing the game for only 3 seasons, so I could say I have a bit of experience. One thing I noticed, I don't know if it's just a biased perspective of mine. But jungle is the best role for climbing, and it's not only because it's indeed the role which has the most impact in the game. But also because the average jungler on the lower elos are either incompetents or autofill, which makes anyone who is slightly skilled on the jg and knows how to play on the role have a big advantage.

I ended up dropping from emerald IV to plat III in the beginning of the season, playing mostly top. But in the mid season I decided to go back to playing jg, maining Kha'Zix and I climbed from plat III to now diamond III.

it's so much easier to win games playing jg if you know how to keep track of the enemy jungler and has a good notion of macro. When you play top, it's so much harder to win. Sometimes I steamroll a lane and make my adversary in lane starve, and I still lose because things are going to hell down in the map. While when I'm playing jg, as long as I have 2 competent teammates I feel I can pull through and win, and most of the time I do win.
