Giving your top/mid the very FIRST blue

I was playing Shen jungle and decided to give my top layer Swain blue buff, after taking krugs and red buff instead of taking it myself so it would help him harass Nasus a little more. You may be thinking "You need blue to hit level 3 or you need to clear a whole other camp" but if you kill one baby wolf and the two baby golems then you will hit level 3 anyway. I am not sure if you guys already know this trick but I thought I would share it with you guys :)

I would take it tbh b/c I'm selfish and also because it can help me clear my jungle camps faster. Keep your blue if you're playing a mana-based jungler though!

It's not always that useful for your laners. Like, a lot of champs can't benefit that much from a pre 6 blue. I mean if you want to, go for it. And some champs will use it well- Malzahar comes to mind- but a lot of times it's more impactful pre 6 on you.

it sets you pretty far behind in jungle clear speed due to loss in mana and cooldown reduction.

honestly playing a jungler who isnt auto heavy and giving your adc first red will cause a much bigger impact on the game, it really all depends on what you need as the jungler and what you are willing to give up
