So I just got my *** handed to me on a silver platter by a counter-jungling udyr when I was playing Warwick. He screwed me up at little golems and I couldn't recover. He was always just waiting and I couldn't figure out what to do.

Any tips on how to come back from getting wrecked early on? Or maybe just dealing with a counter-jungler in general.

Easy way to counter the counter-jungler? Put down wards so you see him coming, and notify your team to go grab that free-kill :) You can always go to his jungle and just take some creeps while he's helplessly looking for you in your jungle.

What Scrax said :)

Ping RIGHT AWAY when you see an enemy in your jungle to let your team know. That way they can protect you or even get a free kill if they overstay their welcome.

So what about if you lag out and something kills you early in your path? This happened to me yesterday (I'd never died jungling with Shen b4) and it completely f*cked me up. I did catch up once I started ganking (which is much harder when you're half a level behind), but it really threw off my whole game for some reason.

Counter-jungling is only especially deadly against weak junglers, namely mana-dependent ones. You need to focus on recovery - Warwick is one of the strongest ones for that.

Watch this Stonewall video:


Another option, if you see that they've stolen one of your buffs, is to go steal one of theirs. Realize that most counter-junglers end up lower leveled than they normally would be with a regular jungle route, meaning that if you just focus on leveling up, you'll be stronger than they'll be.

Great video. In one ranked game I saw their whole team coming to gank and steal my blue so I just pinged theirs and with the help of a team mate I was able to take it quickly. Nothing lost there.

Thanks to Xiaowiriamu for the sig!

A lot of stuff has already been said, but perhaps one of the most important things to note in the history of... history; if their jungler starts with boots, don't do your red/blue buff, unless you're really ballsy, because it's probably warded.
The purpose of Shen is to flip out and kill people.
