For junglers just starting out. (The basics)
Hey man pay attention to this gold 5 scrub 8) Seriously. Been playing a long time.
-
Gank Early. Lvls 2-5 will be the easiest times to gank because no one has their ultimates that may completely destroy a gank. If they dont have hard cc ultimates or extreme burst from their ults it is safe to attempt a gank.
-
If you are playing someone who is more likely to succeed at level 6 ganks make sure to keep an eye on the enemy laners and where they place their wards when you're about to hit your mark.
-
See who bought wards every time they back and come back to lane. That way you know which player to watch when they are leaving lane to drop their wards.
-
Don't over gank lanes. 2 Times in 2 minutes is enough. If you blow the enemies flash you SHOULD attempt a gank again if they are low or have no other escapes. If you can't get them then DO NOT COME BACK for a little while because you're costing your laner experience every time you come into that lane.
-
Top lane is STILL an island. DO NOT GANK IT unless you are for sure you can either get a kill or force them out of lane. Top laners NEED their EXP to stay relevant and have a chance in 1v1s.
-
If it's warded buy a sweeper or do the closest camp to that lane quickly. 9 times out of 10 early on in the game there is only a trinket ward in that bush and if you don't have a sweeper you CAN wait it out without wasting time.
-
If there is a lot of pressure in one lane relieve it with pressure from yourself. Even if it's warded you'll be able to tell if they tunnel vision really quickly and ALWAYS ping when you are coming in.
-
If your team DOESN'T REACT to your gank BACK OFF. YOU WILL DIE.
-
If a lane is failing focus on other lanes and take objectives. Forcing their team to react to you is ESSENTIAL to coming back into a game.
-
MID LANER IS GOD AND YOU WILL SUCK HIS DI*K TO GET HIM FED. Unless he's badderino 8)
-
COUNTER JUNGLE GODDAMNIT. If you need to farm to a certain level react to their junglers movements by making movements into his jungle to rob his experience. Doing it on the opposite side of the map from him usually net you the most since its most likely the camps about to respawn.
-
SPOT THE ENEMY JUNGLER. VIA wards or just a quick trip into their jungle if needed-FIND him. It sets up counter ganking opportunities. This leads to the next point.
-
Neutralize early game gank heavy champions with a strong counter ganking champion. COUNTER GANK. Taking camps close to a lane where an enemy jungler might be is a great way to do this without wasting time.
-
Finally if I've left anything out feel free to post it in the comments and it will serve as the 14th point and so on.
Jungling isn't the easiest role but it's not entirely difficult when you know what you're doing and how your presence on the map or in lanes will effect your lanes. It's your map. OWN IT.
, and the opposing team had
in the jungle. She destroyed me in my own jungle very early, and then pursuied me whenever i got back in the jungle. How can I get back on track if that happens again? Should I hide and try to attack her jungle?
