Introduction

Hello and welcome to my guide. It's my first guide, so it might not look like the prettiest you have EVER seen, but I am doing my best :p

Pros / Cons

Pros
+Great sustain
+Got pretty good burst even when hp is built
+Nice cc

Cons
-You have to hit with your Q: If you miss it, it can ruin the gank/fight(PRACTISE,PRACTISE)

Runes

These are mostly used with tanks and some of bruisers. They give you good amount of durability which is great when doing ganks.

Pretty much same things as with , gives effectivity to your ganks and also lategame.

Also that you need much sustain, some damage won't be a bad thing too. So I have decided to use as quints. I don't say that you couldn't use any other quints too, but I have found these to be a great choice.

Magic resist is good when participating in ganks at midlane

Also if your enemies have much AP champions in their team, you would want to replace with . You might also want to do that if you want to use same masteries when playing at midlane.

Masteries

Ranked Play

is very viable champion in ranked matches. He brings great tankiness and cc to your team. In my opinion it's also safe choice for rankeds, because it's pretty easy to play and can carry a match which looks like lost already.

Here is some proof about the effectiveness of (in ks:ing D:)

Creeping / Jungling

This is the way how I usually start jungling.

Blue team: --->smiteless Blue--->Red(smite)--->Gank mid--->--->--->Gank top

Purple team: --->smiteless Blue--->Red(smite)--->Gank mid--->--->/top--->top/

Remember: This is only one way to start jungling, and probably not even the best one. Sometimes your team may need more help. If someone from your team asks for a gank, go for it.Jungler must help on the lane which has most problems.

It's also clever to go for kinda early, because has two Smites.

You should max stacks of your as early as possible: But don't waste it for Monsters if you are planning to gank anytime soon.

Skill Sequence

s passive, , heals and gives mana to him when he kills unit. It makes able to survive in jungle for long time, even without potions. It's also very good when combinated with health regeneration, and makes even more durable.

s skillshot. Hit with it, or you are screwed ^^. Well everyone misses with it sometimes, I even do it kinda usually.
, in combo with , gives your team nice aoe CC.
I usually max this skill 2nd.

This skill silences enemies in a cone. Max it 1st for more duration to silence.

Always start with this skill when playing jungle. It does good damage, and doesn't cost any mana. I usually max it last, tho.

Feast is great skill in jungle; It counts as 2nd Smite, and is in fact even more powerful. Get full stacks to it as soon as possible, that's a very important thing when playing .

Items

START

Common start in s3

FIRST BACK

Spirit stone is great for mana hungry AP junglers like and for those who can clean jungle pretty fast even without . Buy if you have enough gold, or just potions.

catalyst the protector

ALTERNATIVE BOOTS

can be a good choice if you have heavy ad enemies. It's also a bit cheaper so you can build your faster and get stacks to it.

CORE

So these items are the most important items in this build. When you have built these, your is, well, nearly immortal in teamfights. These items bring you great sustain and slow from helps you when hitting with Q

MRES ALTERNATIVES

You can add one of these to your build if enemy has hard AP. is great for because of his Passive which heals 20% more with this item.
is good when your enemies have such champions like or who do a lot of damage with their ulties.

End

The guide is still in progress, I will keep improving it when I have time for it. Please give me feedback/comments about how it looks at the moment, so I can make differences to it :).
