League of Legends Guides, Tier Lists and Strategy

The jungle punishes bad picks harder than any lane does, which is exactly why the off-meta ones that survive it are so annoying to play against.

A jungler needs three things: a clear that doesn't leave them at half health, a reason for the enemy to be scared of the map, and something to do once the early game is over. Nothing on that list says "must be a jungler". These ten aren't, and they all check the boxes anyway.

Every champion gets one ability they never press, never level, and never lose. For these ten, that ability is the best thing in the kit.

A passive costs nothing. No mana, no cooldown, no button. Riot balances around that by keeping most of them small, and then hands a handful of champions something that would be a fair ultimate on anyone else.
