Season 7 - Best Route For Jungle Changed

IamHereToTroll·Nov 1, 2016·8 votes·23,368 views

Since there are several changes in Season 7, the jungle path will change in my opinion. Golem start seems impossible since it takes long time to clear and makes you lose a lot of HP. In the current pre-season version of jungle Red Side is a lot harder to start with. Mobs just outnumber you. Now all camps give you HP when you smite them. So I decided to shoot a video about my jungle path. I really think this one is the best possible option. What you guys think. Do you have any better jungle paths for Season 7? Please share it with me.

I tot Riot didn't want Jungler to always have a linear route?

seeing this video means that all junglers will do this?

or is it only for the starting phase?

This video is the best jungle route that I could find so far and it is only my own opinion. I would like to hear if anybody else find a better route. And yes this is for starting phase.

Not to mention they will spawn 15 seconds later than all other camps except Gromp who spawns at the same time.

True that they spawn late and it is a huge waste of time. But a good trap for noob junglers :)

The new Jungle actually isn't balanced around full clears the first time since single target Junglers struggle against Raptors heavily and AoE junglers struggle against Krugs. Both camps are nearly impossible to clear without huge costs of time or health before Level 3-4. Try these routes next time:

Single Target (Non-Caster)-

Krugs
Red
Wolves
Blue
Gromp (rewards Level 4)

Caster-

Blue
Gromp
Wolves
Raptors
Red
Krugs (rewards Level 4)

AoE Target (Non-Caster)-

Red
Raptors
Wolves
Blue
Gromp (rewards Level 4)

Super Junglers (Have Tons of AoE and Single Target/Super Sustain)-

Krugs
Red
Raptors
Wolves
Blue
Gromp (rewards Level 5)

The problem with your routes are basicly the spawn timers. Krugs, Raptors,Gromp spawn 10-15 secs late so it is a huge waste of time to start with them. Krug also the most time consuming jungle camp ever so that is why imo clearing it last before going base is the best way to deal with. Raptors is kinda impossible to clear if you dont have any aoe/kiting skills/tiamat.

Krugs also gives you 1+1/3 levels, unlike all the other camps. Krugs+red gives you level 3 in record time.

While I don't have access to the PBE, I feel that blue side will be where assassins and single target based champion junglers will start for the low population of jungle creatures. While tanks and champions with a lot of AoE damage will start red side where the weaker, but more numerous jungle creatures will live, making clears faster. Ivern won't care, the jungle creatures are all his friends. These are all just my observations from PBE views.[slayer-pantheon-popcorn] PS, I would have gotten E at level 4 so that I could speed up my jungle clear. Unless I thought to gank pre level 4.

IamHereToTrollNov 2, 20161 votes

True that. Ivern will be the fastest red side clear jungler :)

Otter FireNov 2, 20161 votes

I'm saying that Ivern can start on either side, but tanks will want to prefer red side. Thanks for noticing though!

On most non-mana hungry champs, you're going to want to start Krugs. Krugs first+red gives you level 3. The other way around does not. ** Most champs can easily start Krugs. **

You only start blue side if you're extremely mana hungry, really.

ALWAYS START KRUGS IF YOUR CHAMP CAN DO KRUGS-->RED OR KRUGS-->RAPTORS-->RED.

If you can't start Krugs, you either start blue, or raptors->red->wolves->blue->gromp.

If you start blue, skip raptors if you can't clear them easily via AoE. Hit 4 and gank.

you know krug spawns 15 secs later than red buff in S7 right?

WoonStruckNov 2, 20161 votes

Krugs->red gives you lvl 3. Red->krugs gives you lvl 2+50%.

It's also notable that Blue and Red Buff monsters now have negative MR and Armor respectively. This makes the Brambleback extremely easy and fairly quick to clear for a physical damage jungler, whereas the Blue Sentinel is considerably more difficult; vice versa for magic damage junglers.

Combined with Krugs being on the same side as Red Buff, the new jungle is going to favor physical damage junglers more than magic damage ones in terms of clear speed.

Yeh but MAge junglers have an item called runic echoes and most of them have aoe skills like Diana/Zac/ekko etc. So in early stage mage junglers will struggle but after some ap items and skill ups ( which is really easy , only 1 full jungle clear makes you lvl 5 now) they can be the fastest jungle clearers.
