I am attempting to learn how to jungle, and I was wondering if anyone could give me tips on how to keep up my farm. I do ok for the first several levels, but then midgame hits and my farm drops to almost nothing and I fall way behind. How do you keep your gold going while also trying to group with your team or gank?
Mute the pings on the lane(s) that keep asking for a gank even thought their lane isn’t pushed or the enemy’s health isn’t low and you aren’t in the area. Gank when you are in the area at your own discretion. I’ve learned that if I listen to some laners I end up falling way behind and then they flame when you become useless for trying to help them in the first place.
Depends on the champion, but ideally you should be doing half/full clears before you do anything early/mid game. Either 3 camps on one side of the map or all 6 starting from gromp or krugs. Make a play towards the end of the route and you spend ~1 minute on a full clear and can spend the next minute or two ganking/warding/doing an objective/invading. Then you want to start over with another efficient path.
This isn't always possible in every game, but it is what you should be striving for.
It ultimately depends on your champion. Learn how to rotate through your jungle and the enemies jungle to counter and steal their camps. If you're bot side, check for wards and see if you can squeeze in a gank. If not, try to quickly figure out where their jungler is. If you think he's topside, try to steal one of his camps, pop a ward, and then back and rotate topside. Rinse and repeat. If you're able to gank mid successfully, ask your mid laner (if they're still healthy enough for it) to help you run down to bot side for a double kill, then try to take as much of the tower as you can.
Just a few tips from a non-jungler XD If these don't work for you, then just experiment and try to find what YOU think works best
