I need Jungling Tips

ForgottenLuck·Jan 3, 2017·1 votes·451 views

Ok I love the jungle but I also love all the roles so I don't really dedicate myself to just one but at the moment the jungle feels like the least welcoming place in the rift. I never feel like I am farming efficiently and am currently looking for guides tips or whatever for that role since all I see online is to use the meta Jungling champs but I am a fan of , , . I usually start red for Ska and Eve and start Blu with Sej but I am just full of doubt on where to go after that, I sometimes don't even know if I can gank with how low I am on some of these guys. Any and all help is much appreciated.

I don't know why you're trying to jungle with a music genre, but I would leave Skaa behind.

All of those champions you like are pretty interesting. I feel that Skarner is best suited for the meta at the moment, being that he can use CoC reliably. Evelynn is always going to be low, due to how her clear works. Sejuani is probably not suited for the meta, since she's very easy to invade upon, especially by the current meta favourites of Shaco and Kha'Zix.

Either way, if you find yourself low at the end of your clear, then just back. You should be looking for gank opportunities during your route. A lot of people do the standby of Blue/Red to a small camp, then to the other buff camp, and then look for a gank with double buffs. If all of your lanes are pushed up, tell them to take care for ganks, and try to set them up with vision. (Also be on the lookout for those who have no wards, or look low, or particularly gankable. Those will likely be the ones that get ganked. Try to warn them.) If you can gank, then try to get behind them. Get between them and the turret to prevent them from easily escaping. Doing so that way ensures more of a success rate, and a greater chance of burning a summoner spell if nothing else. Make sure to ping OMW a lot when you're ganking to let your laner know when to go in.

If you can't go in, then just do a full clear and back for items. If you can, try to regen off of Scuttle Crab, since it's effectively free health. As for smiting, try to hold smites for the tougher camps: buff camps, raptors, krugs. You also shouldn't be smiting on your leashed camp, since you can regen with a health pot after finishing off the buff, and your team should have helped you tank enough for that. If not, then just do the easy camps until your smite comes up again.

Skaa is a type of music? the first time I learn of this. But in all honestly thank you very much for this, the going from buff to buff seems like a good idea, getting the prime things first and then try to look for ganks but question how big of an importance would you put to invading and trying to steal camps this season, I know it's always been a strategy but I feel this season is more important to do that than in any other. Any tips on when to look for when to try and steal a camp and when not to? I never really like doing it since I always feel like I am going to just die if I enter but the jungle seems to have shifted to this direction, making it so we need to for many Junglers to stay relevant.

Invading isn't usually a good idea in low elo, due to the fact that your team won't always know when to assist you if you run into trouble.

If you keep a good eye on your minimap, and you see the enemy jungler putting pressure on the map, it's a good idea to try counterjungling the other side of the map, just to make them waste not only time, but money and experience if their gank doesn't pay off. Only really good invader-type junglers like Shaco or Kha should try invading without assistance.
