general jungling questions from a newbie

hey guys I'm looking for jungling tips/pathways, first season in league and currently silver 2. i got to promotion for gold a week ago but failed due to bad internet connectivity and just general inexperience.

  1. i usually start red > wolves > blue then try to gank top then -> scuttle / Gromp alternate and back. is this optimal? alternatives? matchup dependent?

  2. i usually rush tiamat for faster clear, is this a good idea?

  3. My teammates keep pinging for assistance on full hp enemies in the early game, I come and they will not do the courtesy of distracting them or use a summoner spell to keep them engaged. Should i just stop ganking altogether because people aren't trading in lane?

  4. should i even bother ganking if no wards are present to spot counter ganks?

Well you should do whatever route youre modt comfortable with, as with the clearing you'll need to do different things eith different champs. Amumu for example needs to upgrade an ability and grab blue to clear easier, but with a jungler like Ivern he can jump ahead easily because his passive, allowing him to gank sooner with a higher lvl than most. You also have to take abilities not just items into effect, nunu is a prime example because his Q allows him to do a big amount true damage to minions/creeps/large monsters which allows him to clear faster than other junglers such as malika, lee sin, etc.

Mainly you just need practice and then you'll notice things youre doing wrong and notice things their jungler is doing that you arent.
