As another jungler, I'm curious as to which jungle champ you did this with? I feel that's something
does most proficiently. Had one of my friends reach diamond by playing a "I love farm/ ganks are for noobs" play-style with him.
Apologies for the lack of response on time:
I used Hecarim for this purpose, he scales extremely well with farm. Just get: Trailblazer (Warrior) then Trinity (I like Sheen first, Phage is more effective overall) and proceed to go damage. Honestly, pretty much any jungler does well with farm. I have this view: You can bank on the idea "I'll get fed." and spam ganks. It works from time to time, but farm is constant. If you farm poorly you can adjust it. However, if your ganks all fail, you'll be useless late game. Farm however allows me to override this. Each camp is roughly 100g. 3 camps = 1 kill. Do the math.
Amumu even worked for this, my alt account in Gold 1 for s3 (former main) had like 32-9 W/L as Amumu jungle. I jungled the same way and I was almost always 1-2 items up on their jungler while also having the Amumu power. Mummy Hand Grenade OP.
My typical build looks like this:
Trailblazer(W) > Boots of Lucidity > Trinity Force > Warmog's (If their team's AD or AP doesn't particularly hurt.) > Visage/Sunfire/Randuins (If their AP is fed, Visage, if the AD is fed, Randuin's or Sunfire. If you NEED them to die, Randuin's. I get sunfire for extra damage and HP.)
Naturally I only gank when it'll secure a kill, I don't gank for the "Just gank and push him back to his tower" crap. I gank to get them OUT OF LANE through either blue pill or a body bag. Then once they leave I immediately shove the lane to their tower to deny them CS.
One of the best tools to carry, especially in lower ELO: If the enemy laner is gone, push the wave to their tower. This denies them CS and gives you CS/gold. Making your team's gold value go up. If the enemy jungler comes to stop you, their jungle is worth less gold. If you're in lower ELO, most people spam ping you when they're in base saying "Off my CS noob", just ignore them. In Bronze and Silver, they have no fucking clue what "freezing" is or how to do it so when some bronzie says "he's just gonna freeze.", laugh in his face.
Note that if you look me up, ranked stats only track lane minion for minions killed. Whereas my actual CS in games is upwards of 200+ averagely. But yeah, I do take 105+ lane minions a game. That should say how much I love pushing, and taxing.
Champs I advise you play to get a lot out of this style:
