How do you play Fid in Jungle?

I got into platinum 5 tonight playing jungle fid. I think if you click on my account you can see my match history.

I'm wondering what other people are building and doing? I'm interested in lower pick rate junglers because a lot of people don't really know how to play against them.

What I do:

Skill order level 1-6: W > E > W > Q > Q > R I go with this because having Q2 will give you 1.5 seconds of fear. R takes 1.5 seconds to channel, so if you walk up to someone you can Q>R>E>W them fairly easily in most situations.

After 6: R>Q>W>E when available

Path: I like to start red with W and then run to my blue. I level E second and I leash the blue buff and the gromp at the same time and stand between them. I cast E and it bounces between gromp and blue. W keeps me alive and I can clear both at the same time. After this I do wolves>wraiths>golems.

Rune Picks:

Red Tree (predator) Electrocute Sudden Impact Eyeballs Ultimate CD

Secondary Tree (spell/support tree) Perfect timing & Cosmic Insight - mostly because they lower item 3157 time to sync with ult.

Items: item 1039 - I buy this first and I never upgrade it. item 3020 - I buy these second. item 3157 - I buy this third to combo with ult. item 3151 - 4th, I've come to love this item because it makes clearing jungle super easy. item 3116 - 5th, I like this for team fights and it combos with item 3151 . item 3135 - 6th. item 3089 - 7th, I replace item 1039 .

From what I've seen my good games come down to a few things.

  1. Side lanes that do not feed. If my lanes feed I notice playing fid is basically impossible.
  2. Using Hourglass properly is arguably the most important thing because it can be used to bait enemies into bad fights, dodge ults, etc.
  3. Using sweeping trinket and pink wards and always ulting into fights once they start.
  4. Using Q>R combo on solo enemies - for some reason I think a vast majority of people do not think you will walk up to them and ult them... but a level 5 Q allows me to basically full combo you.
  5. Not smart casting R so I can jump over large pieces of terrain.

I'm really interested if anyone finishes the jungle item and how they might play. When I stopped building the jungle item I started to win more frequently. I honestly don't think it's a good item, but maybe I'm missing something.
