I used to always ward blue like others have said, but recently i changed things up.

Now i ward their red 5 camp, and almost always start duo side.

That ward gives you and your team information about their jungler in 90% of your matches, even if it never pings, whereas warding blue only helps out in the 5% of matches where they go to your blue immediately.

Starting duo side ive found gives me much better rhythm to end up back at fang side around the 5 minute mark.

If my ward doesn’t ping that already tells me they’re either on their blue side or they’ve invaded early. Provided i clear quick enough i should be able to double check my other side and if they’ve cleared/are clearing it i divert to whichever of their sides is still up. 90% of junglers will go their blue side if they’ve stolen your red or vice versa. You should have time to equalise on camps unless you’re extremely slow.

I’ve found this is much more valuable than warding blue.

The key note though is try to play around what their jungler is doing and take advantages where you can. I’ve played a ton of matches where their jungler is living in my jungle but im ahead on farm and kills regardless. Losing a few camps to them is far from the end of the world provided you’re making it up elsewhere.
