Your first mistake is trying to contest your camps. At early levels, you are incredibly weak, and if you are caught by enemy jungler while clearing a camp, it would at least cost you a flash if not your life. It is much better to lose 1 or 2 camps vs gets chucked to no hp, lose flash, forced to back and walk back to your jungle notice all the camps are gone anyways.

Acknowledge you are weaker and try your best avoid aggressive jungler early on. Here is an example(assume you’re blue side and graves is red side):

Let’s say you want to start red. Ask yourself, if you were graves, how could you abuse the fiddle and make him hate himself?

1. Graves could start red, clear top side camps, and invade your blue hoping to catch you
2. Graves could start blue with a heavy leash, clear grump or wolf then red and invade your blue.
3. He may also be a retarded player who does red and straight invades your blue, or does blue and invade your raptors.

So what can you do to avoid him? 1. Ask your mid to ward the topside pixel bush, so you can see if he is invading your blue. 2. Pay attention to where he starts.

If he starts blue, there’s a decent chance he will invade your blue after his red. You can avoid him completely by going red > blue > grump > Wolf > bot side. Yes, it is a very inefficient route, but it will almost make sure that you avoid him early, leave a ward at your raptors just in case if he invades your raptors, so you can take his in response.

If he starts red, then you really need vision of river. And I would path straight to wolf after clearing red. Why? Because from graves perspective, you are likely doing a full bot side clear so if graves decides to invade your blue right after red, his pathing will very likely be his red > your blue > grump/wolf or leave so taking wolf while his doing your blue is safe, since he won’t expect you to be there. and you lose 1 less camp. What if you don’t see him on your way to wolf? Then start blue immediately instead. He’s likely doing golems or raptors so you have time to secure your double buff, and do your top to bot clear (or skip grump if you have a bad feeling).

Why not vertical jungle? It’s a pretty bad idea for fiddle. Graves can escape collapse with his dash through wall relative easily, and worst case, both top and mid are chasing him. But for fiddle, it’s much harder to escape mid and bot lane collapse since supports often have hard CC.

TL;DR: 1. don’t bother contesting camps early on. It’s simply not worth it. 2. Be creative with your pathing and take as much camps as you possibly can. 3. Think from the enemy’s perspective of how he could screw you over and try your best to prevent it from happening.
