Introduction / About Me

Hello, My name is Knightro and This is my guide to jungling as


However, later on when I had around 4800 IP, I was deciding on my next champion to buy. I really couldn't decide on whom to purchase, until I noticed that






My goal is to carry on the torch of Jungle





There is no real bad time to choose

energizeEnergize A decent passive ability, every basic attack reduces the cooldowns of your abilities by 0.5 seconds (1 second against champions). This lets you keep your abilities on a low cooldown, and cast them more often. It scales very well with attack speed.













Start with




Max





The best start for any jungler. I see plenty of junglers starting with



Make sure to pick these up as soon as possible.
















These items are just to ensure that you are not easily killed throughout the game. Whichever item you buy should be chosen carefully, since generally you only build one, sometimes two of these items, and only two if you desperately need the defense. I usually take

These last items will round out your build and fill in any stats that you might require. I usually take





There are generally two ways to start jungling as



Jungle Route
After clearing your two buffs, then you should first clear the Wraith camp. It is small and will get you to level 3. After hitting level 3, if you see a gank then level up


I don't advise clearing the Wight periodically, as the Wight really sucks. It hits very hard, and it doesn't offer very much gold. If you want to clear it, make sure you have

To clear buffs, make sure you stand in the middle of the camp. This will ensure that



Note that the small camps re-spawn every 0:50, (50 seconds). With proper timing you can be right at the camp just in time for it to re-spawn, so you can kill it immediately. This will help to prevent counter-jungling.
The large buffs re-spawn every 5:00 (5 minutes). So your first buff should re-spawn roughly around 7:15, and your second buff around 8:30 or so (depending if you were counter-jungled or not).
Dragon spawns at 2:30, and re-spawns every 6 minutes after. The best time to take dragon is whenever the enemy bot lane is missing. If the enemy bot lane just recalled back to base, take your bot lane and mid laner and secure dragon. Of course, don't bother attempting this within the first 6 or so minutes of the game, or if you are all low on health. The dragon can easily kill you if you are at less then 50% hp, since you will generally be tanking it.

Counter-jungling is sneaking into the enemies jungle to steal their jungle camps to rob them of gold and experience.




Counter-jungling is a very effective method of shutting down certain champions early. Certain champions like



How to recover from being Counter-Jungled




If your second buff was stolen, say you were clearing your red buff and the enemy jungler

Keep your jungle clean of wards. If the enemy jungler is constantly catching you and forcing you to recall in your jungle, then you don't have to be a genius to guess that they have your jungle warded. Buy yourself some


Ward your own jungle. If you keep the entrances to your own jungle warded, then you will be able to see when the enemy jungler enters your jungle. When he does, you can call your allies over and they can help you kill him. No jungler, no matter how fed, can win a 3v1 when he's not expecting it.
One of the simplest ways to deal with counter-jungling is just to clear your camps constantly, and thus deny the enemy jungler any further chance to rob you of said camps.

Since you are the jungler, you will be roaming all around the map, yes? So it makes total sense for you to be dropping some wards in some important spots as you go about your jungle route.
Remember you can place up to 3

You should do your best to buy a couple of wards each time you return to the base. Keeping the map warded is a great strategy and can easily turn games in your favor. You will be able to see jungler ganks before they happen, catch the enemy team attempting baron or dragon, and also be able to catch out lone enemies when they go to ward or something.
Don't forget to upgrade your trinket into



During the late game, you need to keep tabs on the enemy team through wards. Catching out a single enemy can turn the entire game in your favor, making any immediate team fights a 5v4 for your team. You also need to make sure that you don't get caught out by the enemy team when you are going to place a ward or clear a lane of minions or something.
You also need to keep tabs on




If you have to defend your base because an inhibitor is down, then do not for any reason attempt
