Becoming a JG main? HELP WANTED

Jungle Smite·7/2/2017, 4:34:55 PM·1 votes·435 views

I just recently got promoted to S5 I know right I'm still trash but I've been spamming Olaf and I have played 133 games in jungle with him and have a 62% win rate. Should I just keep playing him or focus on learning a new champ? I have a couple champs I'm decent with (Elise, Khaz, VI) trying to learn Skarner but here is my next question.

How much farm should I be getting I know it varies because of ganking and what not but is there a goal number I should be looking at getting?

Also if anyone has any tips on how I can become a better JG (Without recommending me YouTube videos chances are "IVE SEENT IT") Please help :)

Oh and if you guys have any thoughts on what champions I should play and what secondary role i should do I'd appreciate your thoughts

if your winrate is above 50% with any kind of champ you should just keep spamming it , thats how you grind , and farm depends on how much you gank also , the more you gank the less farm you'll have , thats why you really need to pick a time to go gank ( when you full cleared or cleared most of your jungle )

In the jungle I'd say the right farm is when you've got more than the other jungle (taking kills and assists into account). If you're trying to get to main jungle I'd suggest to try pretty much everything to get a better understanding of the junglers you might face (no better feeling than "They have an X so I need to be here around 3 mins because he'll gank"). Not to know everyone's timers obviously, but the main ideas.

Secondary role... Considering your champs, I'd say top.

A good farm for a jungler would be the time of the game divided per 2. For example: if it's 10 mins in, you should be arround 50, but it depends on alot of things such as the champ you are playing ( fiddle doesn't farm fast for example), the time you spent ganking and if you took some of your laner's cs.

The best way to become a really good jungler if too always try and predict the other jungler movement's and try to read in his mind when it comes to ganking so that way you can counter him way more effectively.

Farm is kind of hard to compare for junglers. You should always be looking to either make money for yourself, or help to put someone else on your team in an advantage somehow. More so the former than the ladder in low elos, but unlike in lanes the cs number for a jungler can be misleading because of the types of camps he does. Cant give any advice to how to play the types of champions you jungle with, but I can tell you generally to climb as a jungler you just want to make sure you're an oppressive force to the enemy team in the early stages as much as possible. Even if you're on a weaker early game jungler, if you see that the enemy jungler is pressuring one of your lanes, make him pay for it by taking farm from his jungle and warding it up. People dont realize that unless a gank went off flawlessly, took little time and resources and got a kill, that the gank put the jungler behind from if he had just been farming. This means after he'd done his gank, and no longer has jungle to clear, he's forced to either make another gank, or invade your jungle, which if you warded his jungle you can see which decision he's going to make when he sees his jungle empty. Then let your team know what he's gonna do, and you can either try to fight him at wherever he goes, or just continue your rotations around him, depending on what kind of champ you're playing

Deep wards are very important for counter jungling, buy controls.
