This might seem obvious but a good reminder either way

Now I'm not a super long term veteran, or really high elo but I've even seen people do this at too many elos. If you see the enemy jungler in a bush because it's warded. Do not fire a skill shot at him, and for the love of Cthulhu do NOT type in all chat "Hurr Hi " because it's not only kind of obnoxious but typing right in the middle of your lane is just stupid, especially if the jungler is right there. If they thought "screw it" and went on you in the middle of typing, well you were just made a fool weren't ya?

Point is, you WANT them there if you know they are there. Act like you don't know, but don't give them a chance to go in, make it look like they might have a chance if you can. Keep them there, waste their time. At best, all they're doing is soaking up xp, but beyond that they are accomplishing nothing. Ideally this gets pressure off your other lanes, let's your own jungler set up a gank elsewhere, or steal their buff, counter gank them before they can even gank.

All those opportunities are lost when you go /all Hi enemy jungler (translation; Yes it's warded, don't forget to sweep it on your way out, no, no need to thank me for the extra time and money I saved you)

Yeah this antic is hella aggravating. Especially when I'm support bot, My bushes are always warded and we see the enemy jungler sit in the bush and move in and then back off like they wanna start something. I start moving like I can't see them so they think they have a chance to get some kills. Keep them there longer and then the ADC is all. "Hi Lee! Want a tent?"

YOU FOOL!

when i'm playing renekton, sometimes i'll play as if I don't know he's there, then reach level 6 before my opponent because of the XP leech, walk towards the bush as if to ward, and then just jump on the jungler and make him poop his pants

I understand this but sometimes i do throw a skillshot and punish them with a combo, simply because if im melee i cant always farm in the mid if im being zoned due to the nature if i walk to CS they just engage on me lol. But it is situational if i hit them or not.

I'll throw a skillshot if I'm kinda low and me makes me nervous.

Personally I love it when I'm jungling or even roaming and I'm waiting in a bush and then they almost immediately fire some sort of warning shot, warning me that they have a ward there. In all honesty I might have sat in that bush another 10-20 seconds and not knowing that I was never going to accomplish anything and that I was soaking XP, getting no extra gold, applying no pressure, and in general doing nothing of value for my team. But don't forget to keep letting me know when I'm on top of a ward ;)
