Well written guide which I have now bound on one of my quick paste keys to be given for that counter jungling Karthus or a like, and I have to admit I've done couple evul things (Seeing jungler being on blue doing FULL round) and taking his golems miscalculating the time he gets there during FULL round (and forced him wait 10s ) :<

I wish more people would read this guide. I've been playing jungle Nocturne, and I kept having an Annie take my wraiths, and various team members stealing buffs without asking. :/ It's so, so irritating.

Hah, love the guide. Junglers and healers don't get enough credit. Go figure.

+1.

nice introduction

Why I will continue to blame Junglers for not ganking as much as they should:
1.Junglers are good initiators with gap closing abilities or movement speed, good ability to regain health or soak up damage.
2.A 2v1 with red buff is almost a sure kill.
3.Often times there is no roamer on your team and this means the Jungler who is never seen on the minimap has to take up the responsibility.
4.If mid tries to gank, players who are skilled will read the minimap and the intention of the ganker and set up a counter gank.
5. A solo carry or assassin with 4 or more kills and complete dominance during the lane phase is almost guaranteed to be unmanageable in team fights. Which means that a carry that got those kills from ganks will not have to gamble for their kills.

I used to roam with Annie at lvl 6 but now I no longer do that because in ranked play people actually pay attention to the mini map and are aware that over extending will bait ganks.

I played with a warwick that refused to gank top 2v1 after I repeatedly requested it for 5 minutes and he blamed me for being unskilled because I had to tower hugged until my mana ran out and my tower went down and I wasn't able to farm and I was the only carry mage on my team. I just see him as looking at this guide and going "yup i was right" when we lost that game because of him.

I often play with a duo that is a Jungle if I plan to solo lane in ranked play because ganking is so important to me-- I am convinced that no matter what(especially with flash in the game) that 1v1 is a gamble.

I think anyone who thinks 1v1 or killing monsters creep camps in a timely manner has lost touch with the fact that this is a team game.

I totally know how it is, jungling with Amumu, just to realise that some idiot have stolen the blue buff. Destroys the life of an amumu completely.

Wow. At first glance, I thought this guide looked a little simplistic and that I wouldn't learn much from it that I didn't already know. You surprised me, this is actually very informative and is something that every League of Legends player should read. +1 to you sir, and I look forward to more updates.

Nice post. I find it a bit annoying when people just grab my blue without asking. So just ask.

I love this. Great info and advice for people new to the jungling role or people who don't understand jungling.
