Season 6 jungle pathing is better skipping red and blue on first clear, backing after 3-4 camps for 2nd jg item, then do full clears + ganks

Unless you plan on early ganking multiple times to effectively use red / blue, you are simply waisting the buff

You clear faster doing the small 4 camps You get more gold from each of the 4 small camps than you do red or blue You have better sustain if you back before red / blue for early 2nd item You level faster (believe it or not ) due to the additional 15EXP PER KILL in the JG which is why its smarter to base after 3-4 SMALL CAMP CLEARS using red or blue to clear the JG is ineffective ( blue is debatable ) You take less damage from the smaller 4 camps than red or blue When you are single target clearing, smaller units should die before larger units to maximize effectiveness unless you have hard CC like stuns or krug stun buff

This is season 6. Stop using out dated jungle clear routes for jungling.

P.S. Any jungler invading your red and blue will be waisting their time losing out on gold and EXP for nothing more than a buff, if they steal red / blue, as long as you early back for the 2nd item ( machete / talisman ) you truthfully wont ever need red or blue even on champs like amumu while clearing.

Imo taking blue buff early isn't that bad, the ap helps and the mana regen isn't really a factor in early ganks

i'd rather take red after the back, since the aa slows are really useful compared to blue in ganks

I'd rather take the buffs so my opposing jungler can't steal them, which is done lots of the time.
