Win by invading jungle

Is running around in the enemy's jungle while very far ahead a reliable way to win games? Or is there a better way?

I played 2 games in low silver, won both of them when my team ran into theirs in their jungle while we had massive gold leads. Don't ask me why either team was in the jungle, I don't know. Now I'm pretty sure this won't work against better players, but it seems reliable in low elo.

Hunting down the enemy jungler and putting them behind (killing them, stealing camps and leaving 1 small thing left, etc.) almost garuntees a win as you effectively made it 4v5 unless you give them time to catch up

Ah you're talking about counter jungling. I'm talking about running around in the enemy's jungle. Does that ever work for you?

Ah, you noticed it. The very key in closing games early.

If you get a lead, it is very benefiting to enlarge your territory against your enemies by going in and picking them off. You can take over jung exp, deny vision and route pathing, make burst mages and assassins more stronger.

When should you prioritize invading over pushing for towers? And vice versa.

Pushing must be considered top priority no matter. After you push, they of course need to push back. Then you will have that person on vision and can fully use your teams numbers to your advantage by hiding in the jungle.

A good indication is to exploit a area with a broken tower. A broke mid tower is best since the jung and mid can roam around unnoticed after pushing.

Towers first. Taking them opens more territory for you to invade safely.

Well, you should do that just to deny gold and increase your lead even further. However the most reliable way to win would still be to focus their towers, take inhibs and their nexus. xD
