My Pros/Cons

Pros

My allows me to CC anyone and everyone with 1 attack. HARD CC
My pulls the enemy out of position and in range of , , , and . SOFT CC
gives me a shield and allows me to do AoE Magic Damage with my auto-attacks. DAMAGE AND HP BUFF
My allows me to slow everything around me and prevent them from escaping. SOFT CC
My is an inescapable knock up and slow. HARD/SOFT CC

Cons

If I get caught, I can only and away.
I need the first to clear camps fast and have mana to gank early.
No innate sustain, just .

My Summoner Spells

Smite is a must have for any jungler, like me.
With Summoner's Resolve , I get 10G when you use it.
Smite gives me extra "insurance" on last hitting objectives like Dragon and Baron Nashor.

Flash is the most powerful utility spell available.
I can use it offensively to gank ( Flash+ Dredge Line/ Staggering Blow) or defensively to escape.
It allows me to Flash + Smite Dragon or Baron Nashor if I get the opportunity.

My Runes

Runes

Domination

Electrocute

Predator

Fleet Footwork

Dark Harvest

Marks

I use runes to give myself an extra 15% attack speed. Since I, , am spell dependent for clearing creep camps fast, I find attack speed makes killing the and Big easier. It also helps when I try to 1 v 1 the enemy jungler.

Seals

I use both and runes. I utilize the runes so the creeps don't scratch my suit early game, and I use the runes to reinforce my suit so it can be harder than ~~rock~~ .

Glyphs

I use both and runes. No creeps do magic damage, so I focus on to protect my body during mid/late game team fights. I use the for protection when I towards an AP like .

Quintessences

I use because it lets me travel across the map faster, increases my survivability, and increases the chance of a successful gank.

My Items

(Standard) Start

Machete + 5 Pots

The gives me 10% boost in damage to creeps/minions + 10 true damage every time I whack them with my anchor or fist; The Hunter's Machete also has good synergy with my runes. The five s are for sustain.

First Recall

Spirit Stone + Boots

gives me better clear time, decent HP Regen, and decent Mana Regen so I can give mid without running into mana problems. give me more mobility around the map, increasing the chances of a successful gank or escape.
Gold Benchmark: 750G

Second Recall

Boots of Mobility; Homeguard + Crystalline Flask (Luxury)

gives me the speed necessary to gank even if I pass through a Sight Ward. gives me instant full HP and full Mana when I recall in addition to a speed boost when I leave the fountain. is a luxury item; It is a nice item, but not important enough to delay my "core" build.
Gold Benchmarks: 1125G / 1470G

Third/Fourth Recall

Locket of the Iron Solari

gives me HP, Armor, and Cooldown Reduction which makes jungling faster and helps me summon my minions sooner. Also 's active gives me the ability to cast a shield on myself and my allies. Taking into account I may need to recall before I bank 2000G, I adjusted the Gold Benchmarks.
Gold Benchmarks: 850G / 1330G / 2000G

Ranked 5'S VS Solo Queue

OR

My fourth item depends on my team. gives me free Sight Wards but if my team does not watch the minimap, what good are those Sight Wards? A would be more efficient. If I can trust my team, like in Ranked 5's, I would buy a . If I can't trust my team, like in Solo Queue, I would buy a .
Gold Benchmark: 1300G

How I Decide What to Buy After My Core

Sunfire Cape

I only build if I buy or . The 's DPS removes the extra Movement Speed from .

Randiuin's Omen

I build if I feel the enemy team is AD heavy. I can into the enemy team to position myself for 's active.

Twin Shadows

I build if the enemy team has 2 AP Champions or 4 Champions without an escape. ' active is a very powerful slow and I also gain some movement speed.

Abyssal Scepter

I build if MY team is AP Heavy. The 's Magic Resist Reduction Aura has good synergy with my , , and APs on my team.

Warmog's Armor

I build if the enemy team does NOT have , , , , , or since their damage scales off %HP. 's does becomes a problem if I build but that's why I build or .

Runic Bulwark

I only build if the support is not building it. It's too good not to have, but for the role I play, I'm better off building , , or .

Iceborn Gauntlet

is a fun, SITUATIONAL, item. _{Replaces Locket of the Iron Solari}

When I Gank or Initiate Fights

Ganking

I send a to the victim if a minion or wall is blocking ...

Then I run up and try to land , stunning the victim. If he's too far, I use ...

I use the moment the victim is in range to slow his retreat.

If I haven't used yet, I use it when is available again.

I activate right before I hit or any auto attack.

Things I avoid:

Not sending a Depth Charge first, if possible. If I use Dredge Line first and miss, it usually ends up in the enemy escaping.
Using Dredge Line when ganking from the back. I don't want to pull the enemy closer to their turret.
Turret diving without outnumbering the enemy. You must resist the temptation to tower dive.
Taking the kill when ganking. _{First Blood is acceptable}
(In Solo Queue) Ganking without pinging the minimap ahead of time.

Initiating Teamfights

I any squishy target that I know my team can burst down and hit them with ...

Then I activate to shield myself for battle...

I immediately cast on one of the enemy team's carries...

I cast if at least 3 champions are in range, or I a "priority" target...

I try to make sure I trigger on all enemies in range. I need to disrupt the enemy team as much as I can.

Things I avoid:

I avoid ( Flashing +) Dredge Line away from my team into the enemy team because I put myself out position if my team doesn't react simultaneously.
Not peeling for my carries.
Forgetting to activate Locket of the Iron Solari + Twin Shadows while engaging/disengaging.
