Also gotta reccomend Scrap Computer! But since the game changes every season, take his advice on runes and masteries with a grain of salt. I'd check high-level guides for better runes and masteries.

The only issue I have with him is how slow he talks. But Youtube lets you accelerate video speed. I usually listen to him at 1.25 or 1.5 speed. That and how he dismissed off meta picks.

Acolyte of Steel1 votes

Yeah, he only speaks that slowly for players who are not fluent in English. He usually reminds people in the description or the beginning of the video to play it faster if you're fluent. Subtitling such long videos would take too long.

Eh, off-meta stuff is a personal choice. He's done a lot of research and sees how the game works. Some people like to throw wrenches into that machine - he doesn't.

Oh, I never knew that. That's nice of him! Yeah, and off meta thing is just a personal thing, and if you're trying to learn you should probably stick to meta champs anyway.

Mhm! ScrapComputer is a pretty neat guy.

I agree on that too. Trying to play-off meta while you new, though it may feel comfortable, isn't really good for you in the long run. You learn more playing meta champs than off meta champs.

There's one consistent mistake I see non-junglers make while jungling nearly 100% of the time: inefficient pathing.

Let's assume you're blue side and want to gank bot. Plan your clear before you even leave fountain: Gromp, wolves, chickens, golems, gank? Chickens, golems, gank? Chickens, skuttle, gank? Whatever you choose, plan it before you go. Don't do that jungle shuffle, as Neace puts it, where you clear a camp then hesitate and walk back and forth wasting time.

The reason for this is simple: Jungling is all about power spikes, and abusing said power spikes, leading to effective ganks and leads that you can extend into further leads. If you clear before ganking, you'll level up, giving free damage/another skill that will make your gank more effective. Just get red buff? That's a power spike, albeit a temporary one. At level 5? strongly consider farming to 6 to get your ultimate before ganking. It's the little, efficient decisions that optimize your clears/ganks and lead to consistent wins.

The role is incredibly difficult to concisely explain in a single post, I'd watch a jungle stream if you want to really learn the ins and outs, just thought I'd share the #1 pitfall I see that tanks a jungler's chances of winning.

well,first off summoner 11 to do 390-1000 damage to monsters,and restore HP. when starting out you generally grab a buff,there a red and blue monsters on your map boosting mana/HP regen respectively,the items item 1039 item 1041 give bonus XP when killing jungle monstars but you can only get them if you have smite,a good starting champ to jungle would be Warwick or Amumu

Valkrin is also a pretty good educational jungler. Stonewall008 is also pretty good, but he hasn't been posting as much recently. He explains what he/people are doing and what they should be doing in his full game commentaries (which are 10ish minutes long because he commentates after game while watching replay instead of talking as he's playing).

Other than that, some basic tips Have a game plan during the pick phase and the loading time. Learn the matchups, and see who can use your help the most. Sometimes it's making sure your laner doesn't get stomped, sometimes it's making sure your laner snowballs out of control. Sometimes, it's not ganking but rather getting vision and counterjungling/invading that's best. It depends on the situation, and that's way too much information to cover in a single comment.

Smite raptor camps. It makes killing the large raptor so much faster, which lets you kill the small ones too sooner afterwards.

Put down wards. This technically goes for everyone, but the early game vision can be crucial, and the jungler is basically the only person who can put down deep wards. Alternatively, if you're going to gank nonstop, try starting red trinket.
