I decided to create this thread to help others who want to venture into taking up the jungler role later down the line, and for those that are looking to improve on their jungling capabilities.
------------------------------------------
For those that are not familiar with jungling, here's the basic gist:
Jungling is a role where a player picks a specific champ - with favorable abilities, stats, traits, etc - and kills neutral monsters (jungle creeps) in order to get farm and levels. However, do note the jungling role is most often seen in high-level matches (level 30 normals + ranked) due to right runes and masteries required to be an effective jungler.
Being a jungler can reap high rewards for your team. It frees up one additional lane for soloing (for top), allowing one of your top laner allies to get ahead in levels (in a 1v2 top lane situation). Not to mention, the jungler has the element of surprise early on with ganks (though the element of surprise is mitigated with proper ward placement by the opposing team). That person will be roaming in between lanes to try to ambush enemies that are out of position, i.e. those who pushed their lanes way too far. Not to mention, the jungler is responsible for a substantial portion of team map control by maintaining control over his/her side of the jungle. The jungler is also responsible in leading the way in guarding and taking important buffs and objectives. (This includes Elder Lizard, Ancient Golem, Dragon, and Baron).
