Looking for Jungle Coaching (currently s4 and rising)

Hi guys, I'm currently looking for jungle coaching (preseason/season 5). Looking for D1 and up coaching (paid) or diamond 4 to 2 (unpaid, but you get the pleasure of my company)

My main jungles are usually: Vi Lee Sin Warwick (for full 5 teams only) Amumu Udyr

I'm currently s4 and rising, and have most of the basic jungle items and builds worked out. I know the fastest pathing routes and to keep dragon control. Things that I am looking to get more in depth knowledge on:

Counterjungling (pathing, where/when, most dangerous camps, most annoying camps)
Recovering from counterjungling (learning how to overcome being counterjungled, learning how to path so I'm always prepared for CJ'ing)
Ganking techniques for ungankable lanes (or difficult lanes)

Decision Making (explaining your thought process and how you make calls during a team game or solo Q)

When to gank a lane vs when to counterjungle
When to take a turret vs a dragon

And additionally, information on what you personally say when you try to calm or placate your teammates to keep a team attitude in solo Q is a bonus - mostly because either I'm tactless or it's impossible to say anything without someone AFK'ing.

Thanks for reading. IGN: jSubbz [email protected]

If you're interested, send a message or friend req' with your details, main roles, prices (d1+) and I'll be prompt with a reply.

Not really into the coaching thing, but I can answer a few of your questions outright.

Can often just start at the enemy's top side buff lv 1 if you run there asap. Top laners are usually too lazy to defend. As for counterjungling in general, it's really just about vision. Pop down wards in the enemy jungle. You aren't stupid - if you see where the enemy jungler is and how much health/mana he has, you can make your own decision about what to do.
Make sure you use your trinket at level 1 and grab vision to minimize chance of getting invaded. If you think you're going to get invaded at your second buff, then just start at that buff and go in reverse. After that, it's really just making sure you're not jungling with like 50 HP, and keeping your jungle entrances warded. If a game reaches a point where the enemy team is constantly roaming your jungle, well, you're fucked. Ward up, take what you can when it's safe, and hope the enemy team throws - which, at your ELO, they will. You can't fix every bad situation; sometimes you need to accept that and just cut the losses, and wait for an opportunity to present itself.
Ganking techniques for ungankable lanes -> You answered it yourself. Don't gank them. You want to avoid high-risk, low-reward ganks. Look for a gankable lane instead. Or farm. If the gank is tough because your laner is low as hell, then don't gank. Go hold the lane for him while he bases.
Ganking vs Counterjungling. If you're confident you can secure the kill in a gank, go gank. If you're strong as hell compared to the enemy jungler, have a rough idea of where he is, go ahead and kill the turd. If the enemy jungler is ganking bot, and there's no real gank/countergank opportunity for you, go see if you can poach some of his top side jungle. Vice versa for if he ganks top. It's pretty straightforward. If there's a decent gank opportunity, take it. If not, farm.
If you guys are pretty low after the skirmish, just grab the tower and B. Dragon throws are ridiculously common at every ELO bracket. If you're pretty healthy and there's low risk of dragon getting poached by the enemy jungler, might as well just take it.
If you're the target of the rage, mute. If it's someone else, go ahead and try to mediate, but if it doesn't work after one try, drop it and focus on the game. Way too often the guy who tries to step in and calm things down gets wrapped up in the argument too. In the end, arguments are gonna happen, no matter what ELO bracket you reach. Gotta suck it up and focus on the game.

And overall, just keep in mind that proper jungling is more about being there for the easy opportunities than forcing tough ganks. You shouldn't be sitting in bushes for 30 seconds for each gank. If it's that questionable, you're better off just farming some camps instead.
