Views: 938 Tips & Tricks on Counter Jungling and Recovering from Counter Jungling?
|
I recently just played a game as jungle Nocturne and did extremely poorly, one of the worst games I had you could say. The first thing that went wrong was when their Shaco put a butt-load of JitB's in the wraith camp bush. Of course I didn't die but I barely made it out. I hesitated whether or not I should go to his red buff or just recall. I decided to just get his wraiths to be cautious. When I recalled and came back, my wraiths and red were gone. I got completely shut out that game. He warded everything, their Malzahar would be hiding in bushes and unloading his combos, I was way to underleveled to gank and was worried Shaco would find me in his jungle.
So this brings up some interesting questions. How can you recover from this? How do you counter jungle? And what was your score ProxAzn?
First off, I ended up going 0 6 1 LOL. I probably should have bought an oracles and a bunch of wards from the beginning once he started counter jungling. I also could have ballsed up and counter jungled his jungle. I would like to try shutting someone else out this way and see how it works.

I usually play Shaco myself :3
Shaco is extremely susceptible to counterjungling himself.
As soon as he tries to do that to you, you go full angry man mode and take his **** :D
Another thing is, Shaco is designed to gank a lot and he will be probably doing it a lot. As long as you know where he is, you can counterjungle him all day long. Try to keep tabs on him, where he was last time, where he is probably going.
And as Xenasis said, Nocturne is an extremely potent duelist. Especially if you land
I once had the same problem back when I started learning jungling.Played Noc, did my blue, got owned by Shaco at my wraith camp =(
Soooooo, if you have blue buff... You can either
This may sound kinda stupid, but I do it all the time with Noc. You regen the mana anyways, but this seemingly dumb action can save your life if that creeper hides in that bush ;)
I hope I could help.
One thing he isn't good at - Duelling, especially someone as potent as Nocturne
If he doesn't have his boxes up, which he won't in HIS jungle, you can take him. If he doesn't want to contest you in your jungle or just wants to steal stuff from your jungle and get out, you will be on top, as Shaco isn't renowned for his sustainability or post-level 1 jungle speeds. Other than that, ward.
Basically, your best bet is to ban Shaco, or first pick him. When starting, it's always a good idea to have your bot lane watch the other buff, especially the wraith bush when versing a shaco. Make sure you have major buffs and entrances warded, your team should help you do that. If you're absolutely shut out, go top and farm with your solo lane. It'll stop you from at least being a liability
