Quick buffs with Jarvan, WW, Skarner

So after watching a lot of the Pro Players do all sorts of jungle paths with this new/harder jungle. I have a way that is much easier if you are a fairly new or under skilled jungler.

I myself am only Silver 3 (but I could get to Diamond 1 easy, am I right guys? ;) ). But Anyways, some players only do the jungle paths Pro Players do because it makes them feel good, they don't know why they do that route but if it works in LCS it must work in silver right? Wrong. For all you unskilled players out there. I want you to try this, because its very simple and it puts your buffs on quicker timers so when they re-spawn you can take your buffs again and counter the enemy jungler because one of his buffs probably isn't up because he took the longer route.

This works well with Jarvan, WW, and Skarner. -You want to start red and here is why. 1) The buff helps you finish the jungle better with the red buff damage. 2) Sometimes lanes push early in the game and you can maybe force a flash mid. 3) Smiting red buff at the start gives you health back so you are pretty much full health for blue. -After you take red, go straight to blue. You will be level 2 and blue buff will be much easier to take down with red buff. Once you kill blue, your smite is back up for you to turn and smite/kill toad for the toad buff. By then if you haven't used your health pots yet you should. -With toad and red buff, wolves will melt. Then you can gank where you choose or keep jungling.

Doing this not only makes both your buffs spawn faster than the enemy jungler, but you will be the same level as mid lane or maybe more if you do it fast enough (which means better ganks because you have an extra spell)

Im a scrub at jungle so the runes I take are: 9x Greater Mark of Attack Speed 9x Greater Glyph of Scaling Magic Resist (if they are AP heavy) 9x Greater Seal of Armor 3x Greater Quintessence of Attack Speed

I am however not looking to be a pro player or be amazing at the game. I play for fun and finding this out makes jungling more fun for me because I like to get my buffs as quick as possible and gank as fast as possible. For this route the best to worst out of the 3 is:

  1. Skarner (amazing because of his Q)
  2. Warwick (If his W wasn't nerfed he would be first)
  3. Jarvan (If you start with E for the armor and attack speed its best, his Q or W aren't as good as started E)

So hope you guys like it :)

Different routes for different champs. Different first gank times too. There is no universal best route for every champ.
