Great guide !

But I think you missed AD Jungler ?

Would like to see him added in the guide too :)

Feedback on the "Early Clearing" section.

The Low Risk, Low Reward Clear: "The Low Risk, Low Reward Clear" ... what chart? There's no chart in your guide.
You are blue team: meaning? this applies only if you are blue team? There's no text following "You are blue team:" that's the end of that section. It's confusing.

Same patter goes on for the rest of the early clearing sections.

Right. Terribly sorry about that. The images I used for this guide somehow became corrupted and I had to pull them from the host site. I will be fixing this eventually, but I haven't messed with it much since 7.15. I apologize for the confusion. Originally I had charts and pictures for each section.

Thanks for the response. I'm new to jungling so trying to find as much material as I can. :)

No problem. Glad to help as much as I can

Hey! I was reading your guide of course and the comments. In my opinion didnt u get the feedback you deserve so i decided giving my own.

Okey so i have been playing league for a while (1800 hours or so) but mostly normal games. This season i decided to climb and eventually get better at the game. Since i play most of my games in the jungle with a negative winrate i was desperately looking for tips to get better. So i ended up here...

So what do i think about this guide?
Summary: Its great! The facts are on point, the language was comfortable and interesting for the reader. Sure, a better layout couldnt be wrong, but as you said, its the information thats important, as long as the structure is okey.

The text itself is good. It stretches out from a really beginner perspective, to a more well known jungler perspective. Since i played this game a while, i know most of the jungle, but never really understood the depths of jungle clears, ganking etc. Which most people dont learn by just playing passively.

Some things i would like to see is (ugh,I hate giving critism), more when you should take buffs, and how to play with it (for example giving blue to midlaner and when not) and more in depth on how to play around jungle objectives, like baron for example.

I hope i did write something meaningful, and not just empty words. And sorry for my language, im a graphic designer, not a writer.

Hey thanks for the feedback! It's greatly appreciated. I am lacking a few things in this guide. I want to eventually give it a more aesthetic layout and bring the readers' eyes to the more important parts. The suggestions you've given me are also underway I'm going to be making a video guide to accompany this and it will be embedded at the top of the guide when it's finished. That guide will have more in depth information about counter jungling, ganking, objective control, objective priority, and several other things as well. It is going to take a while to get all of this done, however, so you'll want to keep an eye out for this guide if you're interested. In the mean time, I always recommend people to check out Foxdrop for education on jungling. His channel is https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9U_UPJLasfZYZ0icNI0vBg and he is an excellent jungler to learn from with many educational videos.

Nice that will be cool. I'll be around ;)

Muito bom, excelente guia! Poderia fazer um video explicando o passo a passo de como ler a mente do jungle inimigo? qual lane gankar? e como se comportar contra um jungle que deu invade?

(33) |

I used google translate to do this and I hope it is accurate.
Fico feliz que você goste do guia! Pretendo fazer muitos guias de vídeo em breve. Quando eu fizer um, ele será colocado neste guia. Se você precisar de um guia para isso, mais cedo acho que https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9U_UPJLasfZYZ0icNI0vBg tem um vídeo sobre isso.

Obrigado amigo, estarei esperando, com muita ansiedade.

p.s: Luv U

I am fairly new to League and learning jungle was a pain and I still have some troubles occasionally. This guide helped me clarify some things I was still confused with such as when to get scuttlers in the early jungle path.

(33) |

Extremely happy to hear that this has helped you. :)

Very good guide. I'm a newb, and this clarified quite a few things.

One thing the guide seems to be missing (or, maybe I missed it) is how do buffs work? Do some apply to the whole team, but not others? If not the whole team, is it the people within a certain distance at the time of the kill, just the person who got the kill shot, or the person who started the attack? When Junglers signal the team to help them with the first NPC, are we supposed to let them take the first shot? I'm guessing we need to let them take the KS? I notice sometimes I'll get gold even if I die and a turret or a teammate gets the KS ... is there a shared credit that means it doesn't matter? I've sometimes killed something that was chasing a Jungler with low HP ... maybe I should've just tried to use a control effect that would allow the Jungler to turn around and get it?

Another thing is Masteries ... not champion-specific, are there certain ones that Junglers should take? I suppose that question goes for runes as well, if they're a dedicated Jungler, but I'll probably just use the damager one I'm building.

(33) |

I completely forgot to answer the runes/masteries question.

Masteries:
There are 2 masteries which are helpful to take as a jungler, though they are not mandatory by any means. and , you can hover over these to see what they do.

Runes:
There are no specific runes for any junglers. Generally you'll want to take flat armor seals as opposed to scaling armor runes because the camps hit pretty hard in the early game, but other than that runes are champion and playstyle specific.

Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad I could help! :D
So as for your question about buffs, different ones do work in different ways. The buffs from killing and are attributed to the person who lands the killing blow on the respective jungle monster. So if you kill it, you get the buff, but if someone else kills it, they get it instead. Also, these buffs transfer upon death if whoever has the buff is killed by an enemy, meaning the enemy who kills someone with one or both of these buffs then gains the buff(s) as their own. So when the jungler is getting help against the first monster camp, you want to ensure that the jungler gets the kill so that they can have the level 2 experience and, if applicable, a buff to help them clear the rest of their camps alone. Jungle monsters do not split experience like normal lane minions do, so if a laner accidentally last hits the monster, then the jungler is now out of all of the experience. The camps also do not split gold between players.

Buffs from Epic Monsters like and are applied to your entire team. Baron buff grants 300 gold to everyone on the same team as whoever kills it, as well as giving the effects of the buff for the duration. Elder Dragon buff also applies to everyone for a timed duration. Each Elemental Drake that your team gets applies a buff that lasts until the end of the game, and those buffs are modified by the buff from Elder Dragon for the timed duration.

I hope that's helped you. :)

I totally forgot to ask about what happens to buffs when you die. Thank you for that.

And, it sounds like buffs do stack (with the Elemental Dragon caveat you mentioned), which was another question I had.

Glad I could help! Also, Note that it's only the buffs from and that transfer upon death. The others are just gone with the exception of the elemental Drakes, which last until end of game.

I only skimmed through your guide but so far it looks good. Since it is for new players/junglers you could add images for each monster because the jungle camp information chapter looks a little bit bland. Additionally, some coding could make it easier to read. For example:

Blue Sentinel

The Blue Sentinel is the jungle monster on the blue side which gives you a buff. That buff is the Crest of Insight buff, which gives increased mana and energy regeneration as well as +10% cooldown reduction.

Health: 1000 - 2000
Attack Damage: 1000 - 2000
Attack Speed: 1000 - 2000
Armor: 1000 - 2000
Magic Resist: 1000 - 2000

Killing the Blue Sentinel grants 200 experience without a jungle item (i.e. Hunter's Machete, Hunter's Talisman, Tracker's Knife, Skirmisher's Sabre, etc.) and grants 250 experience with a jungle item, and Blue Sentinel also grants a flat 100 gold. Blue Sentinel spawns at 1:40 and respawns 5 minutes after it is slain.

< Stats in-depth below or hidden in spoilers >

Furthermore, you should talk about the importance about each elemental dragons. For example, the air dragon is weak early since you won't be able to leave your turret without is being taken but later in the mid game the dragon is stronger, or infernal dragons are extremely powerful, especially in low elo, or one ocean dragon is enough, getting more than one is not necessary etc. To sum it up, you should talk about trading objects and which one to prioritize.

A small chapter could be about runes because it is still not possible to jungle effectively without runes, I think. I don't know if there is a universal rune page for junglers.

Hey thanks for the feedback! I agree. It is a bit bland. I'm not great with coding yet and so, while I intend to code it up and make it look pretty, I am more than lack luster in that field at the moment. Thank you for your response. Have a great day! :)

I respect your opinion and respectfully disagree. In the end, the game is about numbers. Knowing the numbers means you can manipulate them to your advantage. Your feedback is appreciated. Have a good day. :)

I have every right to report your guide due to misuse of Mobafire rules. Please read this article carefully then we'll see if you still 'respectfully diagree'

You seem like an extremely toxic, probably bronze 5 tier player. I've seen you threaten to report at least 5 guides thus far, mine not included. I will still respectfully disagree and take my chances. You want to report, you go for it bud. Not anyone else's fault that you can't handle someone disagreeing with your opinion. No skin off my back. If the guide goes down, it goes down. I just don't view the rest of the community to be as petty as you. Good day. :)
