Hey guys, so this is my first blog. I wish to start talking more about LOL and get into a kind of rhythm with the community. Because this is my first blog, you should know about my skill level, preferences, etc.

I started playing League a few months ago, around October of 2011. I was captivated by the conversations my friends were having so I thought I'd get into it. Lo and behold, a few months later I got to Level 30 (note: I have a paying job and still in school, so playing League is a time-consuming event I have to set time aside for). On the way, I got pretty good, mostly carrying with Caitlyn (Soooooooo OP)or trolling with Singed. I then played my first ranked game, did quite well, and went on a 5 game winning streak. Then I lost 2, and now I'm 7-2. And yes, I realize I don't play much. I have a circle of friends that play and we do the whole "skype and premade" activity and just have fun beating up on people.

Now that that's out of the way, I want to get to the whole reason for this blog.

If you read the lame paragraph above, bravo. I wouldn't have. But basically, I am still new at ranked and even more noob at jungling. HOWEVER, I want to have input on jungling in ranked games. SPECIFICALLY EARLY GAME SUCH AS INVADING THEIR JUNGLE AS A TEAM AND GETTING FIRST BLOOD

Questions a noob (me) asks for input on -

When is it a good time to try to get first blood in their jungle?

If you know they will be at blue/red buff to start, and believe they will invade you, should you take their buff or defend and kill them?

Who is your "OP" jungler?


Why I ask these questions is mainly for input on the various techniques of people. I realize there are many ways to approach this, but I would like scenarios, stories, or instances that could help any beginning ranked person could use. This blog will be updated, but I would still like input in this conversation.
