Choosing a jungle path

AxlRose09··2 votes·1,399 views

So recently I've been trying to learn how to play jungle, but I have no idea how to choose a jungle path, especially since it would differ depending on the champion you choose. I'm thinking of playing Vi or Hecarim. Any advice on how to pick the optimal jungle path, for these two champs or just in general?

I main Jungle and choosing a path is super simple and those two make it easier. With those to i start gromp no matter what and go blue. Vi doesnt need a leash on gromp but it helps. But if your scared you might fall short early start bot lane (krugs or gromp depending) for a harder leash then do red or or blue depending how you feel. Feel to reply with more questions or add me in game for more help.

I made a custom game and I couldn't kill the gromp on my own with Vi so I would definitely need a leash. So if I go gromp them blue, what do I do after that? I've had people tell me wolves then back, and others have said go red and then back.

There r easy clears like he said start gromp amd stuff

now you may change it depending on who the enemy team are and if you want to gank early. wich on v you usualy want to just farm till 6 only show up for free kills and if its really needed i dont play hekarim

its best just to start with some.standart routes for your jungler.

On reksai for example you may think about who your enemy is first cause if you start krugs than chickens than red wolves blue gromp.crap your full hp and without a back so the enemy jg is if he farmed half now doing is other buff or a camp you got the lvl advantage Ir gankbor steal camps

but you should first focus on clearing your own jungle btw a good way to learn how to counter jungle is by recording your games and watching the enemy jg youl learn when to invade

Heres a really easy path that will set their jungler behind:

  1. Lvl 1: Kill gromp, smite it
  2. You will hit level 2 off of that, head over to their red buff
  3. You can kill it without smite, its just like doing your blue without smite
  4. Head back to your blue, kill it with smite or without if possible
  5. Go back, buy your upgraded jungle item ( Stalkers/ trail blazer / skirmisher)
  6. Go to your red, kill it, then look for a gank

How likely is it that their jungler would be at their red at that point?

There are 2 possible scenarios:

  1. Their jungler started gromp, and is now doing their blue while you're taking his red
  2. Their jungler started krugs, by the time you arrive at his red, the enemy jungler will be at half hp and the red will be around 400~~ hp depending on what jungler they are playing. You just take the red because the person won't have smite, they will have used it on krugs, and then kill the enemy jungler.
