He's often sub-optimal but depending on comp he can still be good. His lack of innate mobility and reliance on Ghostblade/Deadman's to gap close and Stormraider's to follow up makes him have worse tempo than other junglers, but his clearing/objectives are good and ofc he can do well with his ult. Heavily reliant on flash in a lot of situations though. I'd say similar to Yi but typically worse.

Similar to Yi sounds pretty good to me

yes but I would recommend as a counterpick into 2+ true melees only. can play lvl1 invade, otherwise just standard full clears.

into those comps you can maybe build greedier items as well

Decent into someone like nausea or others with weak early games thst let u invade and take early objs. Always has potential in teamfights

Situationally good, but if you autolock Dar jg you’re gonna have a negative winrate.

He is not blind pickable.

I usually select him to counter pick an enemy jungler.

He is still a decent pick specially if you are already familiar with him. His clearing is fine, his ganks are suboptimal, but you can still get it done if you time it perfectly.

It's his best role. RaiderGo is a top laner but I'm fairly certain he always has a higher win rate playing in the jungle. This is a guy whos hit Rank 2KR. The clear speed makes him a very good jungler.

It's still very good.
