Short No Leash Jungler Guide

Leashes help a lot, but aren't necessary.

From spectating, I know leashes will always be there at higher elos, but I'm B5, so I've learned how to solo even when I'm not using Shaco Warwick Nautilus Diana Olaf Volibear and make clear times on par with challenger/diamond solo queue (only solo queue though, not even remotely comparable to clear time of a team of 5).

This is accomplished by clearing the smaller camps before recalling, then getting the red and blue before ganking, from there, you're at normal.

My strategy - start at wolf camp, don't use smite. You're level 2 Smite the gromp and kill it. Wolves and gromp down. Run to red jungle and smite the red but don't engage it (do this for the health), kill the stone thingies then the foxes.

When you recall, you should be about even with the enemy jungler even if they had a leash. From this point on, you jungle as usual.

Interesting idea, but this leaves both of your buffs open to the enemy jungler should he decide to wander into your side of the jungle. Though, if he doesn't, then having those buffs fresh for ganks would be nice. There's also the negative aspect of not having the buffs for your early clear. For example, with Amumu, it would be pretty tough to clear all 4 small camps without blue buff because he uses so much mana so early and his basic attacks alone don't do very much. Red buff helps champs like Lee Sin kill camps as well, with the added damage and burn.

I like the guide but... what are the foxes?
