The jungle runs on rules nobody explains. Camps have patience, they level with the lobby rather than with the jungler, and their respawn timer doesn't start when you think it does. Here's the whole system, whether or not you ever play the role.

Nocturne isn't anywhere in the 26.16 patch notes. He's God Tier anyway, and Riot has already put him on the list for 26.17.
Read the 26.16 patch notes end to end and his name never comes up. No buff, no adjustment, not even a line item. He's holding the top of the jungle on our solo queue tier list regardless.
Here's the build, the runes, and how long you've got to use them.

Paranoia [R] is the only ability in the game that turns your monitor off, and the reason it feels unfair is that it mostly is.
Losing to Nocturne rarely feels like losing a fight. The screen darkens, you lose your team, and then a champion arrives from a direction you had no way to check. That's a legitimately miserable experience and it's worth banning over. It also has a shape, and once you can see the shape, most of the deaths stop happening.
Check out our top Nocturne counters below for more information on how to beat him!

Some of the most game deciding champions in League finish with the worst damage number on the scoreboard. That isn't a failure. For these ten it's the job description.
There are two ways to win a game without out damaging anyone. You can make someone else's damage matter more than it should, or you can put your damage into towers while the enemy team looks for you. These ten do one or the other, and a couple manage both.

Baron is not a health bar with a timer on it. He picks a form, rebuilds his own pit, decides which of your five he's soft on, and hands out a buff that belongs to your minions more than it belongs to you. Here's the whole objective, start to finish.

An enchanter with a Smite, clearing camps out of a campfire instead of a jungle item's raw damage. Jungle Milio is exactly as risky as it sounds, and exactly as fun when it works.
Jungle Milio is a pick nobody has actually tried in Ranked Solo/Duo, and for a very honest reason: he has almost no real clear damage. But Cozy Campfire [W] heals anyone standing in it, including Milio himself, and that alone is enough sustain to out-tank a slow clear long enough to reach the point where Warm Hugs [E] and Breath of Life [R] start winning fights his teammates could never win alone.
So how does this actually work?
