In my experience, Arachne jungle is the only one that works. Firstly, because of the lower walls in the map, you will get through-the-wall pulls a LOT.

Secondly, you push towers and Siege Towers pretty damn fast.

Thirdly, you can solo the Fury fairly easily, late game, or if, say, your team is distracting them by pushing hard.

Lastly, unlike every other assassin, your ultimate has a 30 second cooldown. You can gank a LOT.

Therefore, I call Arachne the only viable jungler in Siege Mode so far. Her great jungle control limits enemy rotations, your ganks are extremely powerful and hard to avoid, your push potential is good, and your low mobility is offset by the smaller map.

There might be a few other viable junglers, but Arachne's the only one I found so far.

I've played three matches with her, 15-2-7, 10-1-5, and 8-7-13. I'm pretty sure she's viable. Trilane until 5, rotate and gank, rotate and gank, until you win.

I can see ara working, just placing eggs all over the map (mostly enemy side) for map control and just setting up ganks for pushing towers and her clear is really fast :P

I still think that Odin could be a good jungle, though Arachne could be really good

You do not need a jungler IMO. All you need is a team that understands that you should leave the lane to do the camps when they spawn...

There should always be someone to hold the lane ofc to get the points from the wave as well.

Pretty much this. I don't really find junglers all that important if your team is paying attention to taking out the camps. Granted, a gank here and there is nice, but something like that can easily be achieved by anyone just helping out with rotating.

I will say, however, I've played matches with Bastets, either on my side or the enemy side, and she seems pretty successful. However, most of the more successful Bastets I've seen spend more time in the lane rather than in the jungle, so there's that.

Either way, it's not horrible having a jungler, but at the moment, from what I've seen, it's more beneficial to have the 2-3/3-2 setup with plenty of rotating and taking out jungle camps when they're up.

Fair enough, a jungler isn't needed, but the camps have to be cleared as fast a possible, so tickets can be gained as fast as possible.

But then you get people like those in the last match I played, where they insisted that two Assassins and He Bo are a great combo in one lane, and Ao Kuang (Me) can solo the other lane, because we have a DC.

Me and a couple of my friends just went full Assassin team. Me as Thor and the rest as Hun Batz, Bastet, Bakasura and Mercury. We won and it was hilarious - no one built physical defense.

Afterwards we went full guardian team and fed a He Bo so we lost...
