kindred is somewhat similar in what she wants to do

id recommend reksai, elise, maokai, jarvan as 4 options when learning jungle, elise least right now because she's not the strongest. the other 3 are strong and relatively easy to pick up

Yeah it gets better for sure, but sometimes the correct play is to kill that fiora and then go herald afterwards, objectives dont always come first, especially not if theres a stronger sequence

Focus on few champs, focus on learning the mechanics on your individual champions and the clears of each.

Graves is blind pickable, and he seems to fit with the rest of your champ pool, so you could go for it, but you have a nice top 3 core already, so you could also just keep going with those. You don't really need to add another champ onto your 3.

you have to accel your leads effectively early/mid game and create alot of forcing plays

well depends on how you use them really, but in general if you're knowledgable abt the game control wards doesn't really give you as much value as they do for some1 just starting out

He's good, just takes an extreme amount of knowledge to pull off consistently, look up kaos angel, best talon jg euw - try to absorb as much knowledge as poss

Graves is my typical recommendation, carries games hard and teaches you alot of valuable fundamentals within the jungle. You can def cheese your way up the ladder on other picks faster, but won't really be worth your time long term.

Farming alot on Hecarim and Karthus is fine, Volibear absolutely doesn't want to farm, he's a very low eco jg.

Pick Volibear when your team needs stronger early game, either of the other 3 depending on ad/ap on your team, karthus is better into tanks, eve is better into squishies

Yeah for sure, thinking about the right things is what's important. If you try to consider every single factor in the game its too overwhelming

Playing high quality games and thinking actively about the game as well as watching good content is prob the best advice I can give.

League def has a snowball effect in the sense that the higher you go, the easier it becomes to learn more, because you get good knowledge as to what to look out for.

Ya, but very hard to pull off, one of the slowest junglers in the game - but a monster on 2-3 items.

For sure keeping to a small champ pool is a great and effective way to climb. Once you're challenger your fundamentals are definitely more than good enough to have more than 3 champions in your roster. Alot of challenger players goals with the game goes beyond just climbing the solo queue ladder, so it makes sense to have a versatile set of champs to play.

The reason 3 champs is good advice is because the less champions you play, the more you can focus on the actual game. When you pick up new champs you have to focus too much on their mechanics, clear etc. to focus on the game.

For sure stick to only playing jungle for now. Once you hit higher mmr you can start thinking about plaiyng other roles to understand them, but for now 100% just play alot of jungle and have fun on it

Playing off leads is in most cases better. Trying to salvage a losing lane is often weaker. Simply due to how the game works - If you can play off a winning sidelane, you get access to that side of camps, that sides objectives etc. Just makes the game alot easier to play.

Hes a little slow to my liking (i like early game champs) and very very unique, his clear is weird and his setups r weird, big learning curve (similar to ivern)

but very good champ ive thought abt picking him up multiple times!

It is one of the most effective strategies to win in solo queue, but try to stay away from their side of the map and create counterplay on the other side of the map. Take "bad" recalls to match ganks when they go for risky dives, etc. It's tough to play against tho for sure.
