First Clear in the Jungle

RouterSmiter··1 votes·563 views

The number of times I see a player go gromp/krugs blue/red and then red/blue and back. all jungle camps with the exception of wolves give the same amount of xp. When you take both buffs and back you're wasting the timer on them, when you could be ganking a lane with red or spamming spells with blue...

the reason people back is generally because of low health or to upgrade the jungle item so they can

get a better gank off because they can smite the enemy in lane

after a gank get more money from clearing camps

its not about wasting the buff with the exception of just a couple of junglers if you clear both buffs and 1 camp you have more than likely burned through both your health pots and are sitting at lowish health so ganking a lane would not be worth it.

His point is that you should only take 2 camps then gank.

Its not as easy as that

on paper it seems so easy to do 2 camps then gank and with some champs you can do that but not all of them.

Even the pros do not just take 2 camps and gank every time just because some people do and it works some of the time does not mean it will every time and when it fails they are put so far behind in levels and money.

if they fail do they tax the lane and get hell from the laner or do they say to hell with it and not bother ganking and farming a little in the jungle before ganking.

I prefer farming the jungle a little and having some levels/items before trying to gank it just makes it so much easier.
