Help needed for switching roles from support to jungle

Blaxonec·12/12/2019, 8:39:15 AM·1 votes·1,718 views

Hello guys ! I am currently sitting at diamond 4 and its preseason and I wanted to switch to jungle from a long time ago and with the supports getting nerfed I feel like now its a good time to give it a try.

I watched a lot of videos on how people actually play in the jungle but it seems a total mess for me. Maybe I need to start with my main champs as support. They are Blitzcrank Lux . As you can see I am not so mechanically gifted so I prefer some simple play style but with high influence in the game - for example Lux Q is a game changer, Blitz Q too. I played jungle several times before mainly as Amumu so I have some exp in this role. I dont need advice on how to gank, as diamond 4 player I am familier with game pace, objectives and etc. What I dont understand is the jungle clear. Its a total mess in my head. Is it champion specific ? Some people start blue then go ALL THE WAY to the red side doing raptors then red, or first red then raptors, skipping golems sometimes.... I dont get it at all. Some people start red then golems, raptors, then go back, then blue -> gromp or gromp -> blue. How do you guys make those decisions ?

I think of maining 2 champs only because OTP is a better way always for climbing. Those champs will be DrMundo Nunu and as 3th final option Amumu .

Do i need to make a plan in my head for every champ ? How to determine where to start ? How to determine to clear the current jungle side after blue/red or to move to the other side ? Any help will be good (Specially from plat+ players)

Thank you a lot for helping :)

Im not a jungler player so my clears are usually random however when ever I want to play jungle I usually look at one of Tarzaned videos because he actually explains things quite well for all elos.

Skill capped (you can find them on yt) are pretty good at teaching league stuff but only as long as you're willing to/ able to sit trough and digest their vids and then go into the game and actually try some lol. I mean, it pays off, I can vouche for it I guess, but sure feels like a back in school kinda experience lol.

you clear and path around the enemy jungler and gankable lanes, it is champion specific and mundo is terrible so don't play him. for nunu you usually want to focus on bot lane so you start red buff and clear blue gromp if you started top or clearing the entire side if you started bot side.
