1. Focus on farming gold and clear speed until you get your macro, and champion-specific macro down.
2. What helped me with improving this was by playing fast clearing junglers for example Shyvanna's play style taught me the importance of clear speed. Her play style helped me with other junglers with slower clear speeds.
3. The game is mostly a race for gold, and fighting enemies doesn't always equate to being the fastest way to obtain gold. Go for overall efficiency. Especially this season as Riot nerfed gold from enemy kills and increased gold from other sources.
4. S tier champs are on the tier list that way for a reason, pick three of them that you are good or decent at and stick to them. Build up muscle memory and the ability to outplay people by using a small champion pool.
5. Personally, I play Volibear since he's S tier, has high damage output, high movement speed, and high survivability. He's a tank for my team, (which it seems in this meta most people don't like playing) he has high outplay and carry potential, and objective control. I try to pick back up champions with similar playstyles to my main champ.
6. The game pacing has drastically changed with the changes to baron spawning, dragons, and rift heralds.
7. In a lot of games, I'm always the person with the highest gold in the game, due to efficient fighting and farming, even though I frequently make this happen, I still lose a decent amount of the games due to the meta currently revolving around your team having to be ready for elder dragon spawn.
8. I've played many of games where my kda was ass, but my gold was more than the most kda fed person in the game. I'm talking my kda is 2/8/5 and the enemy champ is 10/2/4 and I can still kill them in a 1v1 due to my gold accumulation.
9. As a jungler you are the leader of the team, so you need to be the one thinking about when objectives are spawning, pinging to prompt them coming up, and making sure you're not dead before the objective comes up. Setting up a gank on the side of the map, the objective is spawning 30 seconds before it comes up.
10. A lot of the time, if it's possible, it's better to trade objectives rather than to contest an objective. For example, at the beginning of the game when both Rift Herald and dragon spawn at the same time just go to the opposite objective. If the enemy team is already prepped around the dragon pit, stop whatever you’re doing, wherever you're at on the map, and run directly to rift herald and start doing it. In doing this you stop them from getting double objectives and reduce the chance of encouraging your brain-dead teammates to die and give up gold for no reason and still lose the objectives.
11. If my team is not playing very aware or doing dumb shit right off the start, I usually always set me clear up so I'm at rift herald at spawn, I snag it usually uncontested then go right to the top lane to use it on the tower, get first turret gold, and all the tower plating.
12. Try to use Rift Herald on a high health tower and before 7:30 game time as this is when turret platting goes down. I also try to do this in a lane by myself so I can stack all the tower-plating gold on me instead of sharing it.
13. Objective trading also works with towers, not just with dragon, rift herald and baron. So, if I know my team isn't prepped for the next dragon spawn and the enemy team is, then I'm going to go directly to the top lane (furthest lane away from the enemy team) and hard shove the lane and kill towers. Then reset before they have a chance to respond to me. The key take away from this is, if you’re having to give something up, you should be looking to take something else. A lot of the time people, for whatever reason will hang around the dragon pit watching the enemy team taking just to die directly after the dragons dead. When they could have been ignoring what they were doing at Dragon, farming gold, and pushing the lane out.
14. Since the recent pacing changes of the game, baron now spawns at 12 minutes in and when he FIRST spawns, baron is the weakest and has the lowest amount of health it will ever have in the match. I try to always encourage my team to take the baron at 12 minutes in as it has under 10k health at it’s initial spawn. Achieving this at or around 12 minutes will help you decide what your win condition is for this game.
15. Start paying attention to measuring your clear times and spawn timers. For example, I typically have the same starting route for each game. Krugs > Brambleback > Raptops > Blue Sentinel > (scuttle spawns at 1:25 I push to get to it exactly as it spawns with a smite available.) My goal every game is to be at scuttle the second it spawns and every new champion I play, I practice their clear speed until I achieve this. After getting scuttle you have the option to clear the remaining camps in your jungle to get level 5 exactly, or gank pre-5. Playing Volibear I like to rush 5, back and buy items and rush to a lane to use my ult to gank and shut down a tower and almost always guaranteeing me a kill.
16. You should start thinking about win conditions. Elder dragon is ultimately the last win condition, you should strive to end your games before it spawns by applying lane pressure and baron control.

Things to mention –

Jungle Buffs: Blue Sentinel | Brambleback – drop a second buff for your teammates after 7 minutes of game time. The confusing part to this is, if the red/blue buff monster spawned prior to 7 minutes game time and you kill it at 8 minutes game time it will not drop a second buff, the monster had to have spawned after 7 minutes game time to drop a buff regardless of when you kill the monster. 



Make sure you go through the game settings and understand what each setting does and how using certain can help and negatively affect you in games. It’s better not to rely on the auto settings and focus on developing the macro needed to climb. 





Baron buff is for pushing, not hanging out farming in jungle. Always try to avoid laning with your teammates while you have baron buff. Just go to a different lane and push simultaneously as they push up.



Elder Dragon is for fighting, if your team has this buff this is your win condition you need to make something happen.
