Views: 1131 Initial Jungle Clear
|
Hi guys! I'm here to teach some beginners or even mediocre junglers effective jungle starts.
The most standard start right now is to start at the big buff near bot. (Red on Blue side, Blue on purple side).
Blue side Start 1 (Giving top lane xp advantage):
1) Take wraiths with the assistance of your bottom lane duo. Give wolves to top and get mid to help him.
1a) You could also start with small golems if your wraiths have been warded and you want to be unexpected. Get your bot lane duo to help you and give wolves to your top with the help of your mid.
2) Take red buff with the help of your bot lane. Don't use
Smite.
3) Go to blue buff and solo it + smite it.
4) Gank top or mid.
5) Back / Gank again.

The most important part of this process is to give a jungle camp to your top laner or bot laner. I'm sure many don't understand the importance of this. Giving the laner earlier XP almost always ensures a level advantage. If you choose not to your laner will essentially be forced into playing passive at level 2 and remain at lvl 1 for an extended period of time, in which the minions will push and leave the enemy top laner to go back for an earlier purchase.
Enemy teams can give jungle camps to their laners and if you don't you'll be setting them behind the enemies. Besides, you have relatively little to lose as the jungler. The XP is minimal and won't get you specifically at certain levels. You still hit the key levels at good times, (lvl 3 after clear, lvl 4 after first round of ganks and 2nd round of clears)
This jungle clear also greatly sets you, as the jungler, ready to gank early and respond early.
Hope this helped! :D

Watch any plat or higher game, bot lane ALWAYS does golems on blue side.
There isn't a staple correct way to do things. What you suggest is giving bot lane an xp advantage. I suggest giving my top lane an advantage. They both work. I do agree, The blue-side purple-side debate is mostly about the small golems in competitive play, but it would be beneficial to teach other players about variations and different strats. The game isn't static, of course.
Also, have you ever tried starting blue but giving wolves to your bot lane? I've seen it done before but never really thought about it or tried it.
Anyways ty for the remarks! brb editing
Also on Purple side, I like to start red if my bot lane isn't doing a lane swap so they can do wolves (they won't be too far behind if other bot does golems). You can only do it if you have a top laner that can give you a smiteless red though. If I start blue on purple I give my ADC wolf XP. That's kind of a more advanced strategy though.
The whole reason people lane swap on purple and people think blue side is OP is because bot can get golems on blue side which puts them way ahead. So fix your blue side route please.
Meanwhile our jungler just goes for blue and can hopefully win a potential jungle fight at our red.
Good post though, really helps newer junglers and perhaps some more seasoned ones ;)
What I personally try to do on blue side is have mid take Wraiths, botlane take golems with my help, then get a quick leash on red to finish it smiteless as quickly as possible. This gives every single lane an XP boost early on which cannot be effectively matched by purple side unless they have a champion like
