When I want to counter gank a lane I think about their jungler: -At what level their jungler usually ganks -Who their jungler is -What buff their jungler started -What are their rotation -Their primary objective -How smart are they?

  • Do they ward? -Do they have coordinated ganks?

If you know about 5/8 of them you know where they are and should be able to predict their location.

Lets say you are playing Shyvana jungle vs Lee sin. Shyvana ganks are not the strongest but she is a strong fighter brawler and will destroy any jungler in a 1 vs 1 situation.

You want to secure your buff 1st that is #1 priority of the early game aswell as get your jungle items and a boots.

As soon as you see Lee sin on your minimap lets say mid lane and almost killed your mid laner you should try to predict if either he is gonna come back or not.

What you want to do is put jungle pressure on that mid laner like walking around but not ganking just passing by. Show them that if you come mid I will be ready to Fuck you. Clear camps, get control over scuttle crabs and get some ward. Put some deep ward in their jungler soo you can see Lee sin jungle rotation.

What I usually do when I see lee sin camp a lane is pretty simple.

I clear the scuttle crab and sit in the bush next to your laner. If their laner back away that means it is warded and you should not sit in that same bush.

You want to catch that blind Rat, your bait is your laner.

When you do end up fighting in a counter gank situation. You need to protect your laner and peel it not blindly assault them without thinking about your laner. If they back away thats ok Taxe 2 minions and go back farming in the jungle or get dragon. next to the your laner too watch for more ganks from that lee sin.
