Jungle Sven?

Could a jungle sven be viable? He has high base armor, mediocre damage and a cleave. Warcry also allows him to gain even more armor and move quicker through the jungle. So, if you skill cleave and warcry over storm hammer, could a sven jungle effectively? Of course, I have no idea why you would need one but just in case, lol. The problem would be level one-what would you skill? Cleave does pitiful damage at level one, warcry provides a 4 armor upgrade but no extra damage, you could try to use storm hammer to clear a medium camp and get level 2 I guess. Any ideas?

Not really, his warcry duration is far too short to be useful, cleave needs levels (and he needs damage) before he can jungle with any measure of speed (being able to inflict damage is much more important than tanking it when jungling - it reduces the damage you take by killing them faster, and makes the farming speed viable).

Besides...he's a great laner, why wouldn't you ever want to lane him?

idk...it was an idea, a bad one at that.

Well, on the other hand support Sven is kinda good: you cannot really "semi-jungle" with him, but maybe you can pull until you get enough gold for a Bottle/ Morbid Mask and start jungling from that point. I still like his roaming potential, he is part of my favourite roaming duo which I won't reveal. :D

Sven and Lina?

Anyway, support Sven is awesome imho, however, I only played him once or twice. Time to remedy this!
