Tip for low-elo junglers

15,940 views22 comments78 upvotes

Full clear, please. Doesn't matter if you're playing Rek'Sai, Xin Zhao, or Jarvan.

Unless you've got a dead-simple guaranteed gank or you're just passing through mid, your first clear should always be a full clear.

If you force a gank before finishing your first clear, it's not just that your own growth gets delayed — your camp timers get thrown off too, and you'll be playing catch-up all game.

Slow at clearing? Doesn't matter. Long as you finish by 3:30, you're fine.

Back in the day, junglers used to gank, gank, gank. Now your own farm comes first, no question.

And please clear your camps before you take an objective. Sometimes I see junglers with 5 camps still up going for dragon or Rift Herald. That's how you throw.

    Okay so when do I gank, when do I take objectives, and when can I invade?

      usually best to path around your camps so even if a gank fails you're not taking too much risk (like after clearing your camps or knowing theres another camp nearby to take) as for counter jungling, only go in if youre sure—like if you spotted the enemy jungler on the other side of the map and you beat them 1v1 and your team can rotate faster

      For counterjungling you need a situation where your team can rotate faster. When you go for it and you're on the topside, check if top and mid lanes are pushed in or frozen, see if the support is mia, etc. Keep glancing at the minimap all the time, watch your teammates' HP bars, and track all lanes. The more you look, the more the game opens up, and deciding whether to gank or counterjungle just comes naturally.

      Ganks <- only when you have free time Early objectives <- If it's dragon, bot has prio. If it's grubs, mid or top has clear prio. Late-game objectives <- when your team is grouped up as much as possible Invades <- when the nearest teammate to your invade path has prio, OR when you spotted the enemy jungler on the opposite side of the map

    low elo just pick shit like xin zhao honestly if you see lee sin or nidalee on the enemy team you just pray cus it's either a boostie or a fucking moron don't even think about fixing a losing lane just perma ban & play your own game and you'll at least hit gold most important thing is don't watch some montage get all hyped then pick some garbage champ if you avoid that you're basically half winning already

    I'm sitting here doing a full clear and my teammates are griefing from level 1 so by the time I'm done worst case Top or mid is 0/2/0 Bot is 0/3/0 Seeing both lanes like that makes me panic as the jungler

      Full clear on the first camp is better. But if bot is a guaranteed kill, or if top sidelane both didn't take TP, then it's fine to gank.

      I get wondering what a 80% winrate in Masters 150 LP, duoQ-blocked elo has to do with being a fresh acc and all, but even on non-fresh accounts I'm pulling 70-80% up to Diamond 2 lol
