12. Akai

"Why look up to a role model when you can be one?"

Guess you’re surprised to see Akai on this list but yes, he is one of the very few Tanks who can be played as a core in the jungle. Given his unique blend of damage, mobility and durability, this allows him to effectively take on the jungle role, whilst harnessing his potential to coordinate with allies in other objectives such as pushing, ganking and leading the front-lines in formation.

Mobility - His ability to pounce may be viewed as a dash, along with his tornado strikes that sway opponents with Crowd Control. His skills buff his movement and pro gamers rely on this to cover ground rapidly.
