  • pick fast semi tank jungler with good clearShyvana Udyr (yi could work but cc screws him over too hard)

  • rush item 3711 and item 3722 as fast as humanly possible then get these item 3009

  • whenever you see enemy jungler attempt to gank rush to enemy jungle and steal both camps from whatever side you are closest too.

  • If lane tries to stop you just run away from them with retarded speed boost and your retarded innate speed

  • try to stay in jungle farming as much as possible dont gank lanes at all

  • If enemy jungler tries to stop you duel him because he will be a level or two under you and you will have insane damage

  • Build tank(item 3068) after this because your clears will still be lightning fast and no way enemy jungle can burst you down

  • if they try to ward against you just clear the ward because you should have birdie ward vision 24/7 and be able to clear it and get out with speed

  • try to have all your camps cleared and at least one side of enemy jungle cleared at all times

  • Enemy jungler wont be nearly as strong as you are( maybe if his ganks work out, but he still will be way under lvled compared to you unless he takes lane farm which laners deff wont let him

  • Full build should look like item 3722 item 3284 item 3068 item 3102 item 3091 last item could be item 3078 oritem 3143

  • Finish game with most gold in entire game and able to duel anyone

people be sleeping on poachers knife. With the huge re spawn time of camps if you steal the camps to any slower jungler they will nearly always fall behind with no way to keep lvls up. The benefit isnt even the money it is the fact that you can clear their camps before the enemy team can react(always try to take both camps because no one can catch you anyway and even if they did if its 1v1 you could take them and if its 1v3 then you can speed away from them easily.

Yeah, I tried it...

The enemy laner ganked all 3 lanes successfully for some reason, and in the end after stealing 6 of the enemy camps, I get the enemy jungler one level above me with all three lanes screaming at me to gank...

The only time I'd try that is if I was playing a Jungler who basically can't gank, (such as Udyr), The only other time I would otherwise counter Jungle is if all my lanes are pushed and their isn't a gank available. Though this would mean that I wouldn't get Poacher's knife, because I can't rely on Counter Jungling. Though When I do go to Counter Jungle, I will tend to ward River, (or take scuttle crab) because This will provide some vision of the river if the enemy Jungler is is coming to flank me, or to gank a lane.

I mostly sleep on Poacher's because it's all like "ima be in your jungle all day eryday, so ward up k?"

I'm all dor opportunistic counterjungling, but telegraphing your intentions like that is just asking to get punished.

yeah because the enemy will just not go to your jungle and clear your jungle and gank your lanes and get fed by getting kills/assists. Also they can ward the jungle and while you are trying to take a camp the enemy team will already have knowledge of where you are and can cut you off or just say "now you cannot counter this gank" or "now we have free dragon" or "now we can push all we want" and while your lanes are being destroyed by a jungler that actually does something for lanes you are doing nothing but killing that wolf camp for the who knows who many times now. Poacher's knife isn't used for a reason. It requires you to be in enemy territory leaving you vulnerable to being collapsed and you buying that item pretty much tells the enemy team "let's get free ganks everywhere and invade their jungler as much as possible"
